GT is back! A smartphone from Realme has arrived in Russia, which the company positions as a “flagship killer.” We have seen quite a lot of such killers, so we studied the new product especially carefully to find out: what to use to kill the flagships this season.
After a few days, it became clear that the Realme GT 6 has its own language. vibe as strict design and modern fillings. At its price, the smartphone will definitely find its audience.
In points:
Appearance, equipment, ergonomics
Screen, sound
Filling, performance
Shell, chips, built-in AI
Camera, how to shoot
Conclusion, price
So what: three cameras shoot decently, the processor is fresh – Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, which literally just (spring 2024) was presented to the public, excellent camera, AMOLED screen, fast charging.everything is in it.
Plus, thanks to the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor, the smartphone can have artificial intelligence that helps the user in a variety of scenarios, from photo editing to tips for using the device.
So look at the photos, read the review and take noteIf you are looking to upgrade your park gadgets or are suddenly looking for a reliable, convenient device with a large flashlight for one of your loved ones. This Realme GT 6 is getting special attention.
Just look at the handsome guy:
1. Appearance, equipment, ergonomics.
The included case emphasizes the aesthetics of the smartphone.
The smartphone looks laconic thanks to the glossy back panel combined with a mirror block. The material is plastic, but the device does not create a budget feeling.
The frames around the edges are also plastic, thanks to the roundings the Realme GT 6 gets very hot in the hand. The weight of the smartphone is 199 gramsIt fits comfortably in your hand.
The mirror unit, in addition to aesthetics, also has a useful function that helps when photographing yourself with the main camera. However, it constantly collects fingerprints and dust, so you have to wipe your smartphone with enviable frequency.
Large frameless screen. It’s nice to look like this.
The front part is occupied by a “waterfall” screen under a Gorilla Glass Victus 2 cover. I note that this is the latest version, which also stands out on top flagships like Samsung.
The bezels around the screen are quite thin and do not go unnoticed. False clicks, despite roundness front panel, there was no view. On the right edge of the device there are limited buttons for adjusting the lighting and power, approximately a tray for two SIM cards, a USB-C charging port and holes for speakers.
Thanks to the rounded edges, the smartphone seems very careful.
In the box with Realme GT 6 you can call the charging block on 120 W with support for SUPERVOOC fast charging (Full charge from 0 to 100% takes 34 minutes), USB-C cable and case included. The case is quite nice to look at, with a matte texture.
There are practically no prints on it, it looks decent, unlike most transparent silicone products in boxes with other smartphones from the Middle Kingdom.
Ultra-fast charging included.
Overall, the Realme GT 6 feels like a premium flagship, even though it has a plastic body. If desired, you can close it under a cover and those around you will only see an excellent screen and a mirror panel with strong external cameras.
It remains to note that the device is waterproof according to the standard IP65 and battery on 5500 mAh. Personally, the battery capacity of the Realme GT 6 was enough for 2 days of fairly intensive use of the device.

2. Screen, sound
The screen has a protective film right out of the box.
The screen in Realme GT 6 is made using the latest technologies LTPO AMOLEDpermission 1264 × 2780 pixelsdistance 6.78 inchesface lighting 450 pixels per inch. Support available HDR and Pro-XDRas well as PWM dimming with stability 2160 Hz. In general, the screen of the GT 6 is really good, and the company also notes that its maximum brightness is 6000 nitssomething that is not found in any smartphone at all.
True, this indicator was obtained on a separate section of the screen, so you should not be afraid for your eyes. In everyday life, sharpness varies somewhere between 1000 and 1600 nits – this is enough for comfortable use of a smartphone under the sun’s rays on a bright day.
You can set a constant update frequency on the screen display. 120 Hz, or you can select automatic, depending on the content being shown. There is also a choice between profile colors and color temperatures.
As for the sound, here are the impressions double. It’s not overly loud, but it makes up for this with its clarity and rich stereo image, with vivid emotions and smooth frequencies.
When you connect headphones, various settings become available, including the ability to activate spatial audio, as well as select one of several sound optimization presets.

3. Filling, performance
The screen is easy to read even at an angle.
The smartphone is built on a chipset Snapdragon 8s 3rd generation, made using 4nm technology. The processor has 8 cores: one Cortex-X4 (3 GHz), four Cortex-A720 (2.8 GHz) and three Cortex-A520 (2 GHz). The chip also supports generative AI with language models.
Responsible for the schedule Adreno 735. This is not the most gaming option, but the same Call of Duty Mobile smartphone confidently runs at maximum graphics, without heating up too much even after half an hour of fierce firefights.
In synthetic tests, Realme GT 6 performs well, scoring a fairly high number of points. Proofs in the screenshots.
Test results in Geekbench 6.
I would like to note the presence of a special GT mode, when activated, the processor is “overclocked” for higher performance. And if in tests this gives an increase in numbers by a maximum of 15 percent, then in the case of games I did not notice any difference: “Genshin” works vigorously without lags and freezes even without this “boosta“
I am sure that availability in no way plays a role in performance. 16 GB operational.
A separate plus would be the presence of NFC, so you can pay with your smartphone, like in the good old days, using MirPay or its analogues.

4. Shell, chips, built-in AI
Everything that can be found in the box with the phone is in one photo.
Realme GT 6 runs on the latest Android 14 out-of-the-box with Realme UI 5.0 on top. This case is pleasant, visual, nimble, stylish icons, I personally think it’s one of the best among the shells.
As already suggested at the beginning of this review, the smartphone has built-in artificial intelligence. Its capabilities are manifested in a variety of components, and I sincerely don’t understand why Realme doesn’t put all the points of interaction with AI in a separate submenu. In short, at the moment the built-in neural network can do the following:
📍 On the home screen you can activate checking eye fatigue using the front camera. If the AI decides that the owner is tired, the screen color temperature will automatically change to reduce eye strain.
📍 Can be activated AI screen recognition and after taking a screenshot, the neural network will translate the text, search for pictures on the Internet and show the owner tips on working with the phone. True, so far all this works only for the English language.
📍 I think that artificial intelligence is also responsible for smart chargingwhen the smartphone understands that you need to charge it as quickly as possible in a short period of time and increase the charging power.
📍Also available support contactless control device using gestures, reduction of gaze a bell will sound when the call is answered and smart settings systemwhich has established that the image on the smartphone screen is not its owner, and hides incoming notifications from the curious.
How much artificial intelligence is involved in the last listed functions remains a mystery. But the presence of these opportunities is pleasantly surprising.

5. Camera, how to shoot
Three sensors for juicy photos in several modes.
The smartphone has 3 cameras – the basics of development 50 MPtelephoto with knowledge 50 MP and double zoom, ultra-wide with development 8 MP. A little more about each module:
📸 The latest sensor is used as the base module Sony LITHIA 808equipped with a diagonal matrix 11.2 mm. This matrix is the first to use pixels with double-layer transistors for greater color saturation when taking photographs. Plus, all autofocusing occurs across the sensor area with all pixels.
📸 Telephoto is Samsung JN5 sensor-sized 1/2.8 inch and Binning support (technology of combining efforts). On offer, this means improved quality of night shots, as well as the ability to take photographs on a telephoto at 4x zoom without loss of quality, but with development. 12.5 MP.
📸 Ultra-wide is marked Sony IMX355, images from it are processed by the ISP 8s GEN3 processor. The picture turns out to be as clear and rich as possible.
This is how Realme GT 6 takes photos in automatic mode in daylight:
The texture of the sky turned out great, the white parts of the flags do not merge with the clouds.
4x zoom, car in motion. The picture quality is good.
Something happened here with color rendering and brightness.
But here everything is fine, a 2x zoom is behind us.
An example of all camera zoom modes, starting with ultra-wide with artificial activation:
Example of macro photography:
Portrait mode:
The rear light blur is soft.
The front camera is also excellent: module Sony IMX615 have permission 32 MP and I can shoot videos in 4K quality. There is a wide-angle mode and the ability to control the kettle using gestures.
Of course, there are many modes, including panoramic shooting, various filters and the ability to adjust white balance and other parameters.

6. Conclusion, price
Top smartphone for your money, no joke.
Realme GT 6 can indeed be a better alternative to more expensive smartphones, given the level of technical analytics and a very premium design.
This decent compromiseWhen you observe, it is fast and pleasant in every sense, the device performs all daily tasks with ease, but is worth the money.
Among the main advantages I would like to note the following:
● juicy, modern screen
● latest generation safety glass
● fast, new processor
● super-fast charging
● decent camera
● availability of software features
Of the minuses, I noticed the lack of eSim support, and that’s about it. The smartphone turned out to be balanced, convenient, and I was pleased to use it all the time as my main device.
The most important thing is the price. Realme GT 6 can be bought in Russia officially at a price from 69,999 rubles for version 12+256 GB, and from 79,999 rubles for the 16+512 GB version.
When purchasing any version of a smartphone, they also use receive headphones as a gift Realme Buds Air6 Pro. I can say with confidence that in this price segment you will not find smartphones with similar hardware, so there is only one problem here: which GT 6 to buy, silver or green?
