Realme GT 6 review

Introduction

The global version of the Realme GT 6 is finally here and it looks beyond promising. The phone shines with a cool and stylish design, a premium Dolby Vision OLED, one of the fastest chips, top-tier cameras, long battery life and fast charging!

Realme's GT lineup is back to global markets, and it comes with a new design that turns heads with its two-tone back combining glossy parts with a silver mirror finish.

Realme is advertising the 6.78-inch OLED screen on the GT 6 for its LTPO OLED panel with high resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, 10-bit color depth and Dolby Vision support. But most importantly - for the highest peak brightness on the market - up to 6,000 nits.

The GT 6 employs the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, which has become somewhat of a maker-favorite platform on the market for its flagship-grade performance but not a flagship-grade cost. Realme promises high-end vapor-chamber cooling, fast LPDDR5X RAM and UFS4 storage.

The GT 6 has a 50MP primary camera with a top-tier Sony LYT-808 sensor, a 50MP telephoto for 2x optical and 4x lossless zoom, and an 8MP ultrawide camera. There is also a 32MP imager for selfies.

Finally, the Realme GT 6 comes with a super large 5,500 mAh battery, and it supports blazing-fast 120W SuperVOOC charging. Realme promises 50% of the charge in just 10 minutes!
