JoXim, 11 Jan 2025Software support is great on GT 6. I'm on Android 15 ... moreIt's silly identical. It's the same exact OS just with different name. Oneplus 14 is scheduled to come with Hot Apps and Hot Games just like Real me. So bloatware will be the same too.

    ArtetaOut, 10 Jan 2025The price in Britain not worth it, would recommend Pixel 9 ... moreAre yes snowflake Britain. Some of us with a brain have had enough of icrap, samsuck and good old Google with it's inferior chipsets. Xiaomi is a great buy if you know how to remove ads and there's oneplus, realme oppo, honor, even Asus at a stretch. They all use proper fast charging meaning you can get on with your life quickly like when you got to go out and your samsuck is taking over an hour to charge. Soon we won't have any choice in UK because you all pick whatevers advertised the hardest. Feel ashamed to be British.

          Don't know why GSM arena always complains about finger print scanner being at the bottom? It's not as as low as the home button or were you need to do home gesture.

            JoXim, 11 Jan 2025Software support is great on GT 6. I'm on Android 15 ... morei didn't say the phone is bad, i just think the OP 13R has better photo processing, especially for the zoom cam, and i think the OP 13R is powerful enough to warrant the higher price. The Realme is good the Oneplus is better. Both have their place. Good for you if you're happy with the phone.

              Esmejo, 11 Jan 2025Your camera section has been stripped more and more each ti... moreThink it’s been pretty clear for the past few years now that GSM has basically given up doing reviews aside from the basic tests it does for screen, battery life etc. most reviews now are copy and paste and the rating system is completely broken.

                vunci, 10 Jan 2025Its 574 euros in europe, the 128gb version Not in my country

                  I'm on Android 15 for almost 2 months now.
                  Decembar security patch.
                  Zoom is great on this one, much better then 3x zoom on a bunch of 10mpx shooters.
                  Go look Gt's review and judge for yourself.
                  It is a great deal now and the best thing of all is that the Realme UI is very simular to Oneplus, almost identical.
                  Difference in chipset, again, is almost non existent in the real life scenario.

                      Your camera section has been stripped more and more each time. We don't get to see how many modes the phone has, if there's a pro mode, if we can shoot in raw or not, the video quality section almost disappears, Selfies at low light are not existent...

                      In general every new review is more like reading from a shift than a propper review.

                        Why did GSMARENA change the location for the sample photos? This new location is horrible to judge the photos.

                          JoXim, 10 Jan 2025This is 500 euros phone tops. And it will cost that much i... moreThey barely cut 100 in 6 months on the Nord 4. That one is 500eu. 12R haven't seen less than 600 eu and with all the inflation this one under 650 I am not seeing it.

                            JoXim, 11 Jan 2025Man, i get you but difference in performance is so small in... moreyou're forgetting the fact the Realme has the weakest software support and in general is just less reliable than Oneplus. Besides, Oneplus's zoom cam is easily superior imo, Oneplus's processing is JUST RIGHT this time.

                            And ofc, you're right, the Realme is cheaper but you are also getting a less powerful chip, you're paying more for more essentially. Your choice but I do think if you're getting a flagship killer the Oneplus 13R is the way to go rn

                              jiyen235, 10 Jan 2025global gt6 has 8s gen 3, which is basically like an 8 gen 2... moreMan, i get you but difference in performance is so small in real life, only in benchmarks you can tell.
                              Gt 6 has better main camera, lyt 808 vs lyt 700.
                              Telephoto and UW are the same...JN5 and imx355.
                              Realme has better, brighter screen.
                              Battery life is almost identical.
                              And best of all, GT6, 16/512 version, is a little over 500 euros in Europe.

                                This should've been named and priced as a Nord

                                  I think the 14T takes similar if not better photos than the 13R

                                      Hemedans, 10 Jan 2025This is not true, nowadays Xiaomi is like Oppo and others, ... moreAre you serious??? Then I no longer buy Xiaomi device -.-
                                      I don't care about warranty I just want root and custom ROM that's it.

                                      I tried to root Oneplus device once and it was very difficult I had to use some 3rd party ROM downloader app and it wasn't very trustworthy app. Why Oneplus cannot offer their stock ROM for download from their official oneplus servers like what Xiaomi does? Then I would buy oneplus.
                                      The end of the story was the oneplus device ended up in hard brick bootloop and had to be sent back to oneplus return to manufacturer bye bye oneplus xD

                                        PureOS, 10 Jan 2025It's not. Chinese brand's always put higher price... moreThe EU didn't "forbid chargers in the box". The common charger law simply says that, if a product doesn't come bundled with a charger, then it should say so on the box: https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2022/10/24/common-charger-eu-ministers-give-final-approval-to-one-size-fits-all-charging-port/

                                        Sure, now companies are using it as an excuse to go all in on this no charger BS, but that's another story.
