Realme GT Neo5 SE on Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2 tested in AnTuTu. The result is like recent flagships
Qualcomm officially unveiled mid-range Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2 single-chip system a few days ago, and already one of the first production models based on this SoC – Realme GT Neo5 SE – has been spotted in the AnTuTu benchmark.
The result is impressive. Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2 is not a top platform at all, but a phone based on it has broken the mark of 1 million points. Until recently, only flagships were capable of this. For comparison, this is the level of the Dimensity 9000 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 platforms.
As for the specifications of the Realme GT Neo5 SE, it has 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM, 1 TB (!) of UFS 3.1 memory and Android 13 out of the box. This smartphone will go on sale on April 3rd.

China is preparing to launch a relay satellite for the Chang'e-6 lunar mission
According to information from the National Space Administration of China, a relay satellite for the upcoming Chang'e 6 lunar mission and other lunar exploration programs is scheduled to launch soon. The combination of the Queqiao 2 relay satellite and the Long March 8 launch vehicle was delivered to the launch tower of the Wenchang Satellite Launch Center in Hainan province on Sunday morning.
The satellite and rocket were delivered in February to the Wenchang center, where they were inspected and assembled. The rocket will still undergo final checks before being loaded with fuel, the National Space Administration said.
Queqiao 1's predecessor, Queqiao 2, was launched into orbit by a Long March 4C rocket from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan Province in May 2018. It currently serves as the relay platform for the Chang'e 4 lunar mission.
Chang'e 4 landed in the South Pole-Aitken Basin on the far side of the Moon in January 2019, becoming the first spacecraft to operate in that hemisphere.
If everything goes according to plan, the Chang'e-6 probe will become the second spacecraft to reach the far side of the Moon. Its mission involves delivering samples from the far side of the Moon—a complex and never-before-implemented task.
To ensure communication between the Chang'e 4 and Chang'e 6 spacecraft with the Earth, relay satellites are required due to their special location. Transmitting these signals is the main task of Queqiao 1 and Queqiao 2.
Space technology expert Pan Zhihao, who worked for many years at the China Academy of Space Technology, said the fact that Queqiao 2 was transported by the Long March 8 rocket indicates that the relay satellite is larger and heavier than its predecessor.
“Queqiao 2 has been designed with more features and a longer service life in mind. “It will be the key to China's next few lunar missions,” he said.
Chang'e 6 will consist of four components – the orbiter, the lander, the ascent device and the lander. In addition to sample collection instruments, the module will carry scientific instruments from Pakistan, France, Italy and the European Space Agency, mission organizers said.
