Design & Build
In terms of aesthetics and ergonomics, the Realme GT 6 nails it. For a larger phone, it’s surprisingly comfortable to hold and use.
On the back, the smartphone flaunts a sleek, horizontal, mirror-like rectangular frame for its cameras. And mind it, this shiny frame is a magnet for fingerprints, smudges, and dust. The rest of the back cover is made from sturdy plastic. The camera placement on one side causes the phone to wobble when laid on its back without the included TPU cover.
The front of the phone is just as impressive with its curved glass and minimal bezels, making the display a visual treat. On the right side of the frame, you’ll find the volume and power buttons, which are smooth to operate and easily accessible. The bottom features a USB Type-C port, a dual SIM tray, and a speaker grille, all neatly arranged. Overall, Realme has designed a phone that looks and feels premium, despite a few minor design quirks.
Display
The Realme GT 6 offers a 6.78-inch AMOLED display. This screen isn’t just big, it’s brilliant. It has 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate. But the showstopper here is its 6,000 nits peak brightness. While finding content that fully utilizes this might be tricky, the phone’s 1,600 nits high brightness mode ensures you won’t have any issues, even under the brightest sunlight. Features like ‘Bright HDR video mode’ and ‘Extra brightness’ make brightness anxiety a thing of the past.
The display is sharp, vivid, and perfect for media consumption. Whether you’re watching videos, playing games, or just scrolling through social media, the Realme GT 6 delivers a great visual experience. You can choose from Vivid, Natural, and Pro screen color modes, and the Nature Tone Display feature adjusts the screen based on ambient lighting.
The multimedia experience is further enhanced by the great sounding stereo speakers. With HDR10 support, streaming your favorite shows on Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon Prime Video is a treat. The display settings offer options like Video Color Boost. This enhances colors in select apps and an Image Sharpener to ensure everything looks crisp and clear. In short, the Realme GT 6’s display is a powerhouse that brings your content to life in a vibrant and immersive way.

Performance
The Realme GT 6 stands tall as one of the few smartphones in India equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC. And let me tell you, the performance is nothing short of stellar. From heavy multitasking to graphic-intensive gaming, this phone breezes through everything I threw at it. No hiccups, no lag, just smooth sailing.
You get 16GB of RAM and 512GB storage on board. Even with default apps running in the background, around 9GB of RAM remains free. The Dynamic RAM Expansion feature boosts this further by using built-in storage as additional RAM, offering up to 12GB of extra space when needed.
For gamers, the Realme GT 6 is a beast in its own league. I tested it with top-tier games like BGMI and Call of Duty, and the performance was flawless. Its Iceberg Vapor Cooling System and 120 fps support keeps the gameplay smooth and the device cool, even during intense gaming sessions.
Running on Realme UI 4.0, based on Android 14, the user experience is polished and intuitive. Next AI features like AI Smart Removal and AI Smart Loop enhance productivity by automating tasks like photo editing and content sharing.
Benchmark Performance
The Realme GT 6 is one of the first handsets equipped with Snapdragon 8s Gen 3-powered to enter our workspace. And we couldn’t wait to put it through its paces. We tested this unit with 3D Mark and Geekbench 6 platforms and got promising results in both the tests.
Starting with the Wild Life Stress test, it scored 11,474 in Best Loop score, while in the lowest loop test it logged 6,242 points. Overall, it achieved 54.4 percent stability in this test with the temperature shooting up from 34 to 44 degrees (not much when considering extensive usage), thanks to the cooling solution.
Talking about its Geekbench results, the Realme GT 6 smartphone didn’t disappoint. It recorded a single-core benchmark score of 2,001 and a multi-core benchmark score of 5,170. These numbers highlight the phone’s ability to handle everything from everyday tasks to intensive workloads with ease. Overall, the handset fared well in the benchmark tests establishing itself as a potent performer.
Camera
The camera system on the Realme GT 6 is nothing short of impressive. Equipped with a main 50MP Sony LYT-808 sensor, this phone captures great photos with good detail and vibrant colors. The 50MP telephoto lens adds versatility, delivering high-quality zoom shots, while the selfie camera features a 32MP Sony IMX615 sensor for sharp and clear selfies.
The star of the show is undoubtedly the primary camera. It captures images with accurate colors and plenty of detail, especially in well-lit conditions. Even when you zoom in, the images seems to be clear. In low-light scenarios, the primary camera still performs admirably, capturing good photos in default mode and even brighter images when you switch to the dedicated Night mode.
Dynamic range handling is impressive, and the colors are spot on. The ultra-wide lens performs well, though its performance dips in low light. The telephoto lens is great for portraits but produces average-quality images in low light. The 32MP front-facing camera delivers sharp selfies with a nice background blur, although stabilization could be improved.
The ultra-wide-angle camera is handy for capturing larger subjects that aren’t too far away. This offers images with lower resolution and slightly darker tones compared to the primary camera. But without noticeable warping around the edges. In low-light conditions, the ultra-wide lens struggles, so I often found myself relying on the primary camera.
For subjects that are far away, the telephoto camera on the Realme GT 6 captures sharp images at 2x optical zoom, with an additional 4x zoom option. However, the colors in telephoto shots are slightly less vivid than those from the primary camera.
AI features like the HyperTone Image Engine and AI Smart Removal elevate the camera experience, making it easy to capture and edit good photos.
The front camera is perfect for selfies and video calls, offering decent quality and acceptable background blur. The Realme GT 6 can record videos in 4K, 1080p, and 720p at both 30fps and 60fps. The video quality is good for everyday use, although it struggles a bit in low-light conditions.
Battery
What good is a good phone if it can’t keep up with you, right? The Realme GT 6 comes packed with a robust 5,500mAh battery that’s ready to power through your day. With heavy use, think binge-watching, gaming, and non-stop scrolling, this smartphone easily lasts a full day. But if you’re more of a typical user, you’re looking at up to two days on a single charge. I managed to squeeze out close to eight hours of screen-on time even with heavy usage. Impressive.
The Realme GT 6 supports 120W SuperVOOC fast charging, which is like having a superpower. You can juice up to 50 percent in just about 10 minutes. And a full charge? Less than half an hour. Whether you’re running out the door or just forgot to charge overnight, this phone’s got your back.
There’s more. The GT 6 comes with smart charging features too. You can stop charging at 80 percent to extend battery life. Also, you can use smart rapid charging to speed things up when the battery’s running critically low.
