Design And Display

I find the design of the Realme GT 6T somewhat unimpressive compare to the newer Realme smartphones, particularly the 12 Pro series. This is a matter of personal opinion, and your perspective may differ. The phone showcases a shiny dual-tone exterior that I find somewhat dull and prone to smudging. However, this issue can be addressed by using the included case. If you prefer to keep your phone covered at all times, you may not be bothered by the device’s appearance.

The device is made of plastic and has a curved screen design. But the edges are not as smooth as anticipated. It is 8.65mm thick with slightly flat edges to prevent accidental screen taps. The device is easy to hold due to its weight of only 191 grams, despite having a large 5,500mAh battery. The handset features three separate rings on the rear: two for the cameras and one for the LED flashes. The camera rings stick out from the frame, potentially causing instability when the phone is placed flat. In terms of connectivity, there is a USB Type-C port for charging and data transfer at the bottom, positioned between a SIM ejector tray and a speaker grille.

The earpiece acts as a second speaker, contributing to stereo sound output with clear audio. Additionally, the phone is equipped with an IR blaster for sending signals and managing compatible home appliances. To enhance security, the device comes with an in-display fingerprint scanner. Although accurate, the scanner’s slightly lower placement on the screen than where the thumb naturally rests can pose challenges in certain situations.

The Realme GT 6T features a 6.78-inch 1.5k AMOLED panel, a common choice for mid-range smartphones nowadays. What makes it unique is its remarkable peak brightness of 6,000 nits. Although this number is impressive and surpasses even top-tier smartphones. It can only be achieved in a limited display area, with specific colors, and for a short time to prevent burn-ins. In other situations, the display provides a standard brightness of 1,000 nits and a high brightness mode (HBM) of 1,600 nits. Which is still quite impressive. In comparison, the iPhone 15 Pro Max display only has a 1,000 nits HBM.

The Realme smartphone features a high display brightness that ensures clear visibility even in direct sunlight, including during hot summers in Delhi. Certified by SGS, the display offers exceptional clarity in various lighting conditions. Additionally, it is equipped with an LTPO panel that adjusts the refresh rate from 1Hz to 120Hz based on the content to conserve battery. Users can enjoy an impressive viewing experience with vivid colors, high contrast, and wide viewing angles. The display supports Dolby Vision, 2,160Hz PWM dimming, and is design to resist flickering, boasting certifications for eye protection.

Cameras

Although the smartphone may not excel in camera performance, it performs well in good lighting conditions. The Realme GT 6T features a dual camera setup with a 50MP Sony LYT600 main sensor and an 8MP ultra-wide lens with a 112-degree FoV. The main sensor captures images at a default resolution of 12.5MP, delivering detailed and color-rich photos even in challenging light conditions. The device leans towards warmer tones, adding to the overall attractiveness of the images. Although the dynamic range may be somewhat constrain.

The Motorola Edge 50 Pro, known for its top-notch camera setup, captures images with enhance dynamic range, preserving highlights even in darker areas. Nonetheless, its color reproduction falls short compare to the Realme GT 6T. As the Motorola device leans towards cooler tones and exaggerates color saturation.

The GT 6T’s 8MP ultra-wide camera is consider average, resulting in images that lack sharpness with decrease detail and color accuracy. Additionally, its field of view (FoV) is somewhat restricted. The phone’s selfie camera, a 32MP snapper in a punch-hole setup, delivers images with good facial detailing and accurate skin tones. Yet, there is an issue with overprocessing, causing a loss of detail. Despite this, the selfies are appealing and suitable for sharing on social media. The portrait mode excels in edge detection and minimal warping in well-lit settings but struggles in low light conditions or after sunset, affecting overall image quality.
