Realme has introduced the GT 6T, the latest in their GT series after a two-year of break. This phone is designed for users who prioritize performance and features over flashy design.
Design
The Realme GT 6T has a functional design with some premium touches, though it might not stand out compared to other recent Realme phones like the 12 Pro series. It has a glossy dual tone finish that’s prone to mark and is built with plastic. The phone features a curved screen, which adds to its visual appearance.
The rear has three individual rings for the cameras and an LED flash. At the bottom, there’s a USB Type-C port, a SIM tray, and a speaker grille. The earpiece doubles as a secondary speaker for stereo audio. An IR blaster is included for controlling compatible appliances.
The front has a hole-punch cutout for the selfie camera, and the in-display fingerprint sensor is quick to respond. The phone is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and has an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance, making it durable for its price range.
Display
The Realme GT 6T sports a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and an impressive peak brightness of 6,000 nits. This high brightness is maintained briefly to prevent burn-in, with typical usage brightness at 1,000 nits and up to 1,600 nits in high brightness mode.
The display resolution is 2780×1264, offering sharp visuals. It also has a high touch sampling rate of up to 2500Hz, enhancing its responsiveness for gaming and other intensive uses. The display covers 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, delivering vibrant and accurate colors, and supports Dolby Vision, although it lacks HDR certification.
OS
The Realme GT 6T runs on Realme UI 5.0, based on Android 14. Realme promises up to four years of software updates and three years of security updates, ensuring long-term support.
Processor
Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 processor, built on a 4nm process, the Realme GT 6T offers robust performance. The chipset includes one Kryo Prime core at 2.8GHz, four Kryo Gold cores at 2.6GHz, and three Kryo Silver cores at 1.9GHz, along with an Adreno 732 GPU.
In tests, the phone handled demanding applications smoothly, with no lag or performance issues. The Advanced Iceberg Vapor Cooling System kept the device cool during intensive gaming sessions. Benchmark scores were impressive, with Geekbench scores of 1816 (single-core) and 4616 (multi-core), and a GPU score of 8125.
The phone also includes an Independent Privacy Security Chip and Firewall System for enhanced data protection. It comes in various variants, including 8GB/128GB, 8GB/256GB, 12GB/256GB, and 12GB/512GB.
Battery
The phone has a large 5,500mAh battery, lasting about a day and a half with moderate use. It supports 120W fast charging, fully charging the phone in 35-40 minutes.
Camera
The Realme GT 6T features a dual-camera setup with a 50MP Sony LYT600 main sensor and an 8MP ultra-wide lens. The main sensor captures detailed and vibrant photos, even in challenging lighting, though its dynamic range could be better. The ultra-wide lens offers a 112-degree field of view but has slightly less sharpness and color accuracy compared to the main sensor.
Night photography is decent, with the main camera capturing good detail and color accuracy in low light. The 32MP front camera captures detailed selfies with accurate skin tones, though there is some overprocessing.
Overall
The Realme GT 6T is a perfect offering in the premium mid-range segment, aiming in performance and features. While its design may not be outstanding, the powerful Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chipset and other strong internals make it a reliable and feature-rich option. Starting at ₹30,999 for the 8GB/128GB variant, it’s a good deal for those seeking high performance without a heavy price tag.
