The Realme GT 6 is one of half a dozen Snapdragon 8s Gen 3-powered phones launched recently. However, the processor is not the whole story. On paper, the new Realme phone features an upgraded camera system, a bright display, and a big battery. But do these specs translate to real-world benefits and an experience that rivals the OnePlus 12R in the same range?The Realme GT 6 isn’t a head-turner but it isn’t boring-looking either.
The Realme GT 6 features a big and bright LTPO AMOLED display that supports a dynamic 120Hz refresh rate, 1.5k resolution, and 6,000 nits peak brightness for supported media. For context, the peak brightness kicks in for short durations on a few pixels when watching HDR content. That being said, it’s plenty bright with good legibility in bright daylight. It’s a sharp and vivid screen. You’ll enjoy consuming media on this phone.
I didn’t have any issues with day-to-day usage, which involves a lot of fumbling around Instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp, and Slack alongside a bit of camera and navigation. I was hesitant to play games, but the phone ran Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile on the highest supported settings without any stutters. Unlike the Xiaomi 14 Civi, the Realme GT 6 doesn’t get warm to the touch during extensive camera usage or gaming.The Realme GT 6 runs Realme UI 5 based on Android 14.
