Realme’s GT sequence of telephones is its top-tier lineup, and we’ve seen some fairly memorable fashions up to now. After a two-year lengthy hiatus, Realme is lastly releasing international variants of its GT sequence in choose markets, as soon as once more. We first received the Realme GT 6T in India in Might, which was a rebadged GT Neo 6 SE from China (with 120W charging). Now, Realme has launched the GT 6 in choose Southeast Asian markets, which has similarities to the GT Neo 6, however with a tweaked digital camera configuration.
The GT sequence has at all times been about sheer efficiency, and the brand new Realme GT 6 packs the most well-liked SoC of the season, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3. We’ve already seen it in telephones just like the POCO F6, the lately introduced Motorola Edge 50 Extremely, and Xiaomi 14 CIVI. The GT 6 goes past uncooked energy, because it debuts Realme’s tackle AI in telephones, which it calls ‘Subsequent AI.’ There’s so much to unpack, so let’s start with the pricing.
Realme GT 6: Value and availability
India shall be getting three variants of the GT 6, beginning with 8GB RAM and 256GB of storage for ₹40,999 (round $492). The second variant will get 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage for ₹42,999 ($516), whereas the top-spec variant comes with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, priced at ₹44,999 ($540). With the launch affords and reductions in place, you possibly can knock about ₹5,000 from the costs, which makes the telephone appear extra enticing.
The Realme GT 6 doesn’t have a microSD card slot, so it’s greatest to decide on your variant properly from the get go. Additionally, all variants are mentioned to have UFS 4.0 storage and LPDDR5X RAM. The telephone is available in two colours — Razor inexperienced and Fluid silver — and each look very good.
The shiny end of the rear glass is a serious ache to maintain clear, because it attracts fingerprints very simply. Fortunately, there’s a case within the field to assist mitigate this. You additionally get the 120W quick charger with the telephone, which we’ll speak extra about in a bit.

Realme GT 6: What I like
The show on the Realme GT 6 is one thing that can instantly seize your consideration. It’s a flagship-grade AMOLED display measuring 6.78 inches, with a 1.5K (2,780×1,264) decision. The 120Hz refresh charge can be actually adaptive because of the LTPO tech, which permits it to scale to 1Hz when there’s no contact enter or app working within the foreground. This 10-bit show helps the DCI-P3 shade gamut, 2,160Hz PWM dimming when the brightness is low (DC dimming when brightness is above 70 nits), and Dolby Imaginative and prescient and HDR10+ playback.
The GT 6 additionally has one of many brightest shows in its section, with a 6,000 nits native peak brightness ranking, and 1,000 nits typical brightness. Rounding off this spectacular spec checklist is Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for scratch and shatter safety. The curved edges on the perimeters of the show full the flagship look.
I discovered the show to be very legible even below harsh daylight. Colours have simply the correct quantity of saturation with the default shade profile and there isn’t any noticeable shade shift when viewing the show off-axis.
The show settings enables you to allow “Additional brightness” when you want it, and you’ll set the brink for minimal brightness in low mild, which is a really helpful function. For many who want to preserve some battery, can drop the decision decrease, though this isn’t actually wanted. HDR movies look nice on the GT 6, and Realme’s Photograph’s app helps ProXDR viewing for nonetheless photographs. Lastly, there’s an optical in-display fingerprint sensor which works properly, however its placement is a bit too low for my liking.
Efficiency has at all times been the core power of the GT sequence, and the newest Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 within the GT 6 hits the spot. We’ve already talked about it in our POCO F6 evaluation, however briefly, it’s a scaled down Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC with a special CPU cluster (1+4+3) configuration and decrease clock speeds, a decrease rung GPU and 5G modem, and decrease reminiscence frequency. Whereas all this provides as much as decrease efficiency in comparison with the 8 Gen 3, it’s nonetheless probably the most highly effective SoC within the mid-range section, besting even final yr’s flagship 8 Gen 2 in some benchmarks.
| Class | Realme GT 6 | POCO F6 | OnePlus 12R | ASUS Zenfone 11 Extremely |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PCMark Work 3.0 (General) | 19164 | 15491 | 12189 | 20182 |

The Realme GT 6 posted larger benchmark numbers than the POCO F6, which has the identical SoC. Temperatures have been additionally properly below management when working these exams, which reveals that the vapor cooling system was doing its job properly. The 8s Gen 3 just isn’t too far behind final yr’s flagship 8 Gen 2 SoC, as seen within the 12R’s scores. Nonetheless, the newest 8 Gen 3’s GPU and extra highly effective CPU clusters manages to maintain an excellent lead over the 8s Gen 3, as seen within the scores of the Zenfone 11 Extremely.
Video games ran simply advantageous on the GT 6, with little to no stutter. Asphalt 9: Legends appeared nice and ran at a gentle 60fps. First-person shooters like Battle Prime pushed the temperatures larger, with an indicated 42 levels, however this was nonetheless manageable with out the case. Genshin Influence appeared attractive on the ‘Highest’ graphics setting and 60fps enabled. As soon as once more, the indicated telephone temperature went as much as 43 levels, however nothing past that even after about 20 minutes of gameplay.
Normal efficiency of the GT 6 was additionally top-notch. The telephone hardly ever skipped a beat with multi-tasking and the interface and apps felt fluid to work together with. The stereo audio system are loud and sound good, the haptic engine affords good tactile suggestions, and there’s an IR blaster on the highest of the body for controlling issues like your TV or air air purifier. Wi-fi and 5G efficiency was additionally stable as calls and community protection was good within the few weeks I used the telephone. The GT 6 has dual-SIM assist, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, and Wi-Fi 6. The chassis can be IP65 rated for mud and water resistance.
Battery life is one other main plus level for the Realme GT 6. The large 5,500mAh capability simply lasted me an excellent two days on common with mild to medium utilization. Even with heavy gaming and digital camera utilization, I may nonetheless stand up to a day and a half earlier than I needed to cost it. I hardly ever had battery anxiousness with the GT 6 after I stepped out of the home, even when it wasn’t totally charged. Wi-fi charging is lacking, however I doubt anybody will actually miss it once you get a 120W quick charger within the field.
With the battery at roughly 11%, I may cost it as much as 97% in simply half-hour, which is bonkers. The one challenge is that the charger is huge and also you’ll want this particular SUPERVOOC charger solely to have the ability to obtain such speeds. Fortunately, you’ll nonetheless be capable to get 80W or 65W quick charging when you have older quick chargers from OnePlus or OPPO mendacity round, as all of them use the identical charging know-how.
Contemplating it’s a performance-focused telephone, the Realme GT 6 packs some neat cameras, and even will get an extra telephoto digital camera over the China-only mannequin. The first digital camera makes use of a 50MP Sony LYT-808 module with an f/1.69 aperture and OIS; the ultrawide has an 8MP Sony IMX355 with an f/2.2 aperture (fastened focus); whereas the telephoto is a 50MP Samsung JN5 with an f/2.0 aperture with stabilization. The selfie digital camera makes use of a Sony IMX615 32MP sensor.
In daylight, all of the rear cameras of the GT 6 seize detailed photographs however with barely various white steadiness. The primary sensor will get the truest illustration of the scene, whereas the ultrawide has a hotter tone and the telephoto has a cooler one. The ultrawide captures barely softer textures and grain is extra noticeable in shadow areas, however you’ll solely see these drawbacks when you zoom into the picture.
The telephoto’s optical magnification of 2x produces sharp portraits, and particulars are nonetheless first rate until about 10x zoom, after which it begins to weaken. I observed some minor metering points too below harsh lighting at 2x zoom, the place whites have been blown out. Zooming in a bit extra tended to repair this, however with a slight drop in high quality.
Picture 1 of 17
The GT 6 produces sharp visuals in low mild too, because of a really efficient night time mode. A slower shutter velocity is routinely engaged which helps convey out the small print and colours of objects at the hours of darkness. This works fairly properly with the ultrawide digital camera too. The telephone will solely change to the telephoto digital camera at night time in case your topic is properly lit, else, it’ll merely digitally zoom in utilizing the primary digital camera.
The optical stabilization of the primary sensor is kind of spectacular at night time, because it retains your topic in sharp focus even with a protracted publicity shot. The primary and telephoto cameras, each, bin photographs all the way down to 12MP by default. You possibly can shoot full 50MP photographs with the 2 of the rear cameras utilizing the ‘HI-RES’ mode.
I’m not an enormous selfie particular person, however I’d say most customers needs to be more than pleased with the standard of photographs it captures. Daylight pictures pack in loads of particulars, colours are properly represented, and Portrait mode works properly. Photographs are above-average even with indoor lighting. At night time, the long-exposure pictures produce first rate particulars and colours. Magnificence filters are enabled by default, and whereas I didn’t discover them to be too intrusive, you possibly can disable them altogether.
Video recording is kind of spectacular too. The Realme GT 6 can file as much as 4K 60fps and as much as 4K 30fps Dolby Imaginative and prescient HDR movies with the primary and telephoto cameras. The selfie digital camera also can seize 4K 30fps normal movies, making this an excellent telephone for vlogging. The ultrawide is the one digital camera that’s restricted to 1080p 30fps for recording, which is a disgrace. I want Realme had used a greater sensor for the ultrawide digital camera with the intention to full the expertise.
Daylight video high quality is excellent from the primary and telephoto cameras. HDR movies particularly look good on the GT 6’s show. Movies captured at night time are first rate if there’s sufficient mild, however strolling about introduces fairly a little bit of jitter. Movies shot utilizing the ultrawide digital camera are strictly common within the day and are nearly usable in low mild. An ‘AI night time imaginative and prescient’ toggle pops up within the viewfinder in actually low-light situations, which helps in getting brighter movies however this additionally provides noise to the footage. It’s price noting that this AI function can be utilized even at 4K 30fps.
Realme GT 6: Leaping on the AI bandwagon
It looks as if Realme didn’t wish to miss out on the AI increase, so it’s including its personal taste to its telephones. Known as ‘Subsequent AI’, this software-based function debuts with the GT 6 and shall be rolled out to the GT 6T, and probably different fashions too through an replace. There are 4 AI options to start out off with, that are AI Sensible Removing, AI Night time Imaginative and prescient, AI Display screen Recognition, and AI Sensible Loop. The latter two options must be enabled, and might be discovered below ‘Particular options’ within the Settings app.
AI Sensible Loop is type of a quick-share pop-up carousel, which helps you to share photographs or textual content straight from one app to the opposite. You possibly can manually add as much as 5 apps to the drawer or let the system determine primarily based in your utilization sample. To share one thing shortly, you merely long-press the file or picture and drag it to both fringe of the show to convey up your apps. This methodology has its quirks at occasions although, like once you maintain the show to pause an Instagram story and the system thinks you wish to share it as a substitute.
AI display recognition works on screenshots or straight inside sure supported apps. This may be activated by varied gestures, and it enables you to share or save photographs and textual content individually. The AI Eraser function makes use of OPPO’s AndesGPT platform for processing edits within the cloud. Just like Google’s Magic Eraser, you possibly can take away objects from the scene or blur out imperfections on objects. The top result’s fairly first rate more often than not. I can see the display recognition and enhancing options being helpful, and extra Realme telephones ought to profit from this quickly.
The GT 6 runs Realme UI 5.0 which relies on Android 14. Realme has dedicated to 3 years of OS upgrades and 4 years of safety patches, which isn’t unhealthy. One factor I did discover was far much less spam and app muddle after I first set it up, which is a step within the right path. Many pointless apps are nonetheless current, but it surely’s organized in a manner the place you don’t instantly discover them.
Realme GT 6: What I don’t like
Whereas the Realme GT 6 will get most issues proper, there are just a few areas the place it may have completed higher. It’s not a really thick telephone, but it surely weighs 199g and that’s noticeable in your pocket. The opposite challenge I’ve is with the rear glass panel. It actually offers the telephone a premium really feel, however the shiny nature makes it a magnet for fingerprints and it finally ends up wanting untidy after a couple of minutes of holding it.
The mirror-like strip throughout the cameras doesn’t assist its trigger both. My different gripe is with the glass itself, as Realme says it’s a normal panel with no rated scratch or shatter resistance. This implies, you most actually might want to use this telephone with a case.
The outer body of the GT 6 is polycarbonate, which does scale back the influence of warmth in your fingers when gaming, however an aluminum body would have elevated the contact expertise and given it a extra premium really feel. Lastly, there’s the crippled ultrawide digital camera which merely does not match as much as the capabilities of the opposite two rear cameras.
Realme GT 6: Competitors
The Realme GT 6 has loads of competitors, however I believe it packs sufficient benefit to separate itself from the remaining. First, you get the brand new set of mid-range flagships with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 posing because the GT 6’s instant rivals. There’s the POCO F6, which affords amazon worth for its low beginning worth of simply ₹30,000 (about $360). Identical to the GT 6, it too has a terrific show, sturdy main digital camera, and is a superb all-rounder.
The Xiaomi 14 CIVI is a current entrant beginning at ₹43,000 ($515). Its distinctive promoting factors are the Leica-branded cameras, and slim and light-weight design.
If you would like an excellent wanting telephone, Nothing’s Cellphone 2 is a superb deal proper now with the top-end variant all the way down to Rs. 39,999 ($480). What it lacks in uncooked energy, it actually makes up with among the finest Android implementations exterior a Pixel telephone. The OnePlus 12R is one other stable providing that begins on the similar worth. It has flagship-level specs, slick software program, wonderful battery life, and a beautiful important digital camera.
For those who’re within the U.S., then the Pixel 8a might be the greatest choose below $500. It has a compact design, the most effective software program, wonderful cameras, and is destined to get software program updates for the subsequent seven years.
Realme GT 6: Must you purchase it?
You should purchase it if…
- You want sturdy mid-range gaming telephone
- You need versatile cameras
- You want the quickest potential charging
- You want a shiny and vivid show
You should not purchase it if…
- You want an excellent high quality ultrawide digital camera
- You need a light-weight telephone
- You hate wiping off fingerprints
Realme may have taken the lazy route and easily rebadged the GT Neo 6 for the worldwide market and referred to as it a day. It could have nonetheless been an excellent product, however most likely much less impactful towards the competitors. By including the 50MP telephoto, the GT 6 has turn into a extra aggressive providing in its section. Practically all of its cameras are extremely competent and seize high quality pictures, with the ultrawide being the exception. Dolby Imaginative and prescient video recording is a pleasant bonus to have. The GT 6 seems to be fashionable, has superb gaming efficiency for its class, a shiny show, and wonderful battery life. These on the lookout for AI options will discover just a few helpful ones right here too.
If it’s simply the processor you’re after, then the POCO F6 has everybody beat providing the most effective worth for cash. However, if you would like an honest telephoto digital camera, simpler cooling system for gaming, and higher battery life, I believe it’s price spending a bit extra to get the GT 6.
A strong mid-range contender
The Realme GT 6 checks a lot of the proper packing containers for its section, providing you with a feature-packed telephone with little to complain about. You get a surprising show, wonderful efficiency, nice battery life, and really important and telephoto cameras.
