The Realme GT 6T is a high-end mobile phone for several reasons: it has a unique screen, exceptional performance and a battery that won’t let you down.
Although the Realme GT 6 has been one of the most eagerly awaited models from the company, it is also accompanied by the Realme GT 6T, which is slightly below the first, not only in specifications but also in its price range.
For just over 500 euros, Realme has managed to produce a truly remarkable mobile phone with this model, with a unique screen on the market and, in addition, one of the latest Snapdragon processors.
The Realme GT 6T may not be the most attractive, but it is comfortable and resistant
In general, one of the things that has always caught my attention most about Realme phones is precisely their highly original and varied designs. However, that is not what has most excited me about the GT 6T, with its more traditional finish.
The one you see here is the silver one, which has a camera module that is considerably large, occupying the upper third of the rear, a space intended for the main and wide-angle cameras, together with their flash.
In this sense, when you rest it on the table, you will notice that these two lenses protrude considerably and cause the phone to tilt to the left; it’s not annoying and you get used to it, but they will still be there unless you put on the plastic case included in the box.
On the other hand, something that didn’t convince me much was the amount of dust that accumulates around the camera lenses, in addition to the fact that the back accumulates a large number of fingerprints and, personally, I’m not attracted to the mirror finish of the camera module.
However, it is a really comfortable phone to hold with one hand and can be a great option if you are looking for something light and, in addition, resistant. The back does not feel completely like plastic and withstands scratches without any problem.
Otherwise, in terms of connectivity, it has a magnificent NFC for direct payment (without failures, as happens in some cases), Wi-Fi 6E to enjoy one of the latest values on the market and, of course, 5G thanks to the processor that I will talk about later.
The screen of this Realme phone is more than outstanding in brightness (and almost unique)
I could say, almost with complete certainty, that this screen is unrivaled in terms of brightness. The Realme GT 6T incorporates a 6.78-inch LTP AMOLED FHD+ panel, with an adaptive refresh rate that moves from 1 Hz to 120 Hz.
Beyond its values, what is really important is its maximum brightness, which reaches the spectacular value of 6,000 nits, something that in my case I had never seen, with 1,600 nits with HBM, which is activated when it receives a lot of direct light.
I’ve tested it directly in midday sunlight and, honestly, I haven’t seen any panel behave like this: it adapts the colors so that they don’t look strange in so much.
In short: the Realme GT 6T is one of the phones with the best screens on the market, even more so if you look at its price range. So it can be a good option if this is exactly what you are looking for.
As if that weren’t enough, it also has dual speakers and Hi-Res Audio, to complement this magnificent viewing experience at any time, either through speakers or lossless headphones.
This new Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 outperforms even its older brother
The realme GT 6T has one of the latest processors for what is considered the premium range, the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 from Qualcomm.
According to the tests carried out, it significantly outperforms its previous generation, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, such as that of the Motorola Edge 50 Pro, and even in some analyses the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 seen in the Xiaomi 14.
On a day-to-day basis, you’ll be able to run any video game without any problems, and you won’t notice it getting too hot, regardless of how intensively you use it.
Otherwise, the operating system is Realme UI 5.0, a fairly accessible and intuitive layer based on Android 14; if you are coming from Android 13 or the previous Realme layer you will notice some differences.
Personally, I love this layer because of the apps that come with it, and the fact that it doesn’t have unnecessary apps by default, although I think the in-house App Market is pretty dispensable.
After all, it doesn’t offer anything more than what can be found in Google’s Play Store, which is what I usually use to download everything.
Its battery can last more than a day’s use and, moreover, it charges quickly
Another of the best features of this realme GT 6T is its 5,500 mAh battery with a dual cell, which is capable of lasting more than a day, depending on how you use it.
If you use it to make calls, browse messaging apps, social networks or watch videos, you will most likely reach that duration; if you play video games, the value will be reduced.
In any case, it has a fast charge of 120 W and, as is now common with Realme and other companies, the plug is not included, only the cable. In this sense, to make the most of this value you will have to find a 120 W adapter.
With this, you can achieve a full charge in less than half an hour, which is very positive if it is going to be a mobile phone that you use intensively and you are not going to charge it normally at night.
The photography is more than remarkable, although you will notice the difference between its lenses
In the photographic section, there is very positive news for this Realme mobile.
Firstly, there is no macro lens, so it is great news not to have another lens, as they add considerable bulk.
Secondly, it adds a Sony main lens which, personally, I think is one of the best in recent times, with very good results for automatic shooting.
Sony LYT-600 50-megapixel main camera, with an aperture value of f/1.88, optical image stabilizer (OIS) and 4K video recording at 60 fps.
Wide angle 8 megapixel Sony IMX355, with aperture value f/2.2, 112º field of view and 2K video recording at 30 fps.
Front camera IMX615 32 megapixel.
the Realme GT 6T is a spectacular high-end smartphone
After using it as my personal mobile, I think that the Realme GT 6T is quite similar to high-end devices in several aspects, such as its screen or its performance, although it does not belong to this price range as such.
The version with 8 gigabytes of RAM and 256 gigabytes of internal storage comes at a price of 549.99 euros, which means that it is in the upper-middle range.
In this sense, it can be a great purchase option if you are looking for a mobile phone with these premium features, and don’t mind leaving other aspects, such as the photographic section, to one side. In any case, it is a mobile phone that will not disappoint you.
