Realme India, for causes greatest recognized to the corporate, stopped launching any of its new GT-branded smartphones after the launch of the GT Neo 3, which additionally arrived in a particular 150W mannequin. For those who keep in mind, the GT lineup began off as mid-range units just like the Realme GT Grasp Version after which branched out into extra gamer-centric (or youth-centric) smartphones just like the GT Neo sequence. The final GT Neo 3 150W we reviewed (again in June 2022) was all about providing high-end gaming efficiency (together with its apparent downsides) and common cameras. Such units, regardless of their high-end specs, have been arduous to suggest to the informal person primarily as a result of they have been additionally priced a bit too excessive (Rs. 42,999) and didn’t supply any sensible options like a very good digital camera, an IP score and even wi-fi charging for the informal person.
It has been a number of years, and whereas Realme has been launching GT-branded units within the Chinese language market, it has lastly determined to relaunch the GT sequence in India. Its new smartphone is known as the Realme GT 6T which doesn’t join with any of its previous GT-series units launched in India. So, the place does this new GT slot in? Let’s discover out!
The Realme GT is priced from Rs. 30,999 for the bottom 8GB RAM and 128GB storage variant, which instantly makes it a really aggressive providing given the {hardware} it provides. The telephone is accessible in 4 variants, with essentially the most high-end variant outfitted with as much as 12GB of RAM and 512GB of inside storage, priced at Rs. 39,999.
The Realme GT 6T has a slim design, on condition that it packs a big battery and vapour chamber cooling system
Nonetheless, this aggressive value does see Realme slicing a number of corners. Now that I’ve used the handset for a short time, the plain one is the plastic body and rear panel, which, regardless of its fashionable minimalist look, is a correct mud magnet. The rear panel additionally flexes a bit as effectively. Surprisingly, regardless of utilizing plastic for its chassis and rear panel, Realme claims its telephone can also be IP65 rated, which might be a primary for a GT sequence system in India.
I actually just like the GT 6T design, which is a mixture of curved edges and flat sides. I additionally just like the dual-tone end of the rear panel, which has a really reflective mirror end (that’s nonetheless a bit misty on the similar time) close to the cameras however a metallic gray end for the remaining. Similar to its rear panel, the telephone has a curved edge show on the entrance, which is curved on its left and proper sides. It’s a 6.78-inch full-HD+ AMOLED panel of the LTPO selection, that means it could possibly drop its refresh price all the way down to 1Hz when wanted to avoid wasting battery life. The panel additionally has a 360Hz regular contact sampling price and a couple of,500Hz turbocharged contact sampling whereas taking part in video games. This show can also be protected by Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus 2.
It is also surprisingly slim for a telephone that claims to have the most important vapour chamber cooling system on a smartphone. The telephone has a big 5,500mAh battery that may be charged at 120W.
The Realme GT 6T is at present the one mid-range smartphone (and even smartphones usually) to have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen Three SoC. It is a quite highly effective processor because it borrows loads of its structure and cores from the premium Snapdragon eight Gen Three sequence present in premium units costing upwards of Rs. 50,000.
Holding in thoughts the final GT Neo sequence and its very common digital camera efficiency, it is good to see Realme add a new-age Sony LYT-600 digital camera with a 50-megapixel decision. The digital camera has a shiny f/1.eight aperture and likewise packs OIS, which ought to technically ship higher low-light pictures. Now, the identical sensor was additionally baked into the Realme 12+ smartphone, however it didn’t yield good ends in our evaluate. So, it will likely be fascinating to see how this digital camera fares when backed by Qualcomm silicon.
The Realme GT 6T’s show is of the AMOLED LTPO selection and is curved on the perimeters
Powering the entire above is Realme UI 5.0, which is predicated on Android 14.
Certainly, the Realme GT 6T looks as if a step in the correct route for its GT sequence. Whereas it’s geared for gaming, given its performance-oriented {hardware} selections, there’s lastly a stability with different sensible options as effectively.
It is neither as underpowered nor extra design-focused because the older GT Grasp Version, and it is also not utterly gamer-focused, which would cut back its attraction to the common client.
For the time being, it looks as if a really well-balanced mixture of {hardware} and software program, however we must put it by way of its paces to learn how it compares to different premium smartphones at this value level. So, keep tuned for our detailed evaluate, which might be out quickly.
