great camera and with one of the best Qualcomm chips

After launching the realme GT3 last year, we expected the return to Europe of realme mobile phones which arrive with the ambition of “flagship killer”: this series which now includes two new smartphones, the realme GT 6 and the GT 6T. If a few days ago we already published in EL ESPAÑOL – El Androide Libre the analysis of the realme GT 6, now it is the turn of its little brother, the 6T. They count with many similarities between them, although it is interesting to know their differences before buying.

The realme GT 6T can be purchased with an introductory offer until July 4 starting at 399 dollars, but then it will increase to 549 dollars. This is not a minor detail, since it is currently one of your main purchasing demands. Although there is much more, it mainly stands out for the good ebalance between specifications and price for an elegant mobile that follows what has been considered the realme 12 series.

The smartphone stands out for its design with a rear module that extends from one side to the other with a mirror-like finish. It has dimensions of 162 x 75.1 x 8.65 mm and weighs 191 g; the standard in this type of smartphone. Beyond its appearance, its three main specifications are: the first of the important Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chip, maximum screen brightness that reaches 6,000 nits and 120W fast charging with a 5,500 mAh battery.

Of these three specifications, two are the same as those of its older brother, unlike the chip that goes to the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 of the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3. Realme launches this chip and it stands out for its great performance, very fast loading times, good multitasking management and gaming capacity to enjoy the best Android games; even some that demand the most like the new Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile.

Its LTPO OLED screen measures 6.78 inches with FHD+ resolution and the possibility of switching from 1 to 120 Hz depending on the content generated on the screen in order to be efficient in energy consumption. Her Maximum brightness of 6,000 nits This is another of its best aspects, it supports Dolby Vision and includes GGV2 glass to protect the screen from possible shocks.

There eye protection is another of its characteristics with TÜV Intelligent 3.0 certification to reduce blue light emissions and some important modes to protect your eyes: sleep mode, paper-like protection and ambient color adaptation.

Photographic performance

Since it is essentially similar to the realme GT 6, the other big difference is in the camera: it lacks the older brother’s telephoto lens, although it retains the other two. It’s a dual camera system: 50 Mpx main (Sony LYT-600) and 8 Mpx ultra wide angle (Sony IMX355). On the front, it reaches 32 Mpx just like its big brother.

The 6T offers background blur with the f/1.4 setting in the camera app in portrait mode, although the line that separates the subject from the background does not demarcate it well and produces a “cloudy” effect, but not over the entire course. But generally speaking, it gives a good effect on this type of photos. You can always use an aperture of 4.0 or higher to reduce the effect.

AI plays its role in post-processing by reducing the burn-in visible in the camera app’s viewfinder when you take a selfie and direct sunlight hits the shirt. It effectively reduces it to eliminate the effect. This is also coming to the realme GT 6.

There the color temperature generally plays towards a slightly cool tone and the autofocus focuses very well on the subject of the photo. You can take macro photos without problem, but without overdoing it. In night photography it comes out well, but without finesse and still very well helped in post-processing by artificial intelligence

More limited in photography and with more defects in certain types of photos like those with high contrast, although this is not the norm. It surprises with its balanced photography in all its nuances and with the post-processing which shows good work on the photos this was done at night. Even a nighttime selfie photo is capable of being well depicted when there are no bright spots nearby (and without using the flash enabled by default).

Performance

Realme UI 5.0 continues to improve gradually and delivers exquisite performance throughout its interface without lag or slowness or feeling of lack of smoothness. There is two main factors in its use– Universal search (on device and online) with a downward gesture from the center of the screen and one from the top for quick actions and notifications.

The realme GT 6T doesn’t have the GT 6’s AI features yet, but it does offers other special features like smart camera detection, split view or flexible window for multitasking or smart sidebar; without forgetting modes like child mode, simple mode or motorcycle mode (with a configuration designed for motorcycle riding, such as silent messages, etc.).

We want to highlight another important experience: support for Microsoft Mobile Link is included for manage calls, chats, notifications and applications directly from your Windows PC.

The battery took a 3.42% with the camera app during the session for the photo gallery. That is, since I started using it in two hours it went from 50 to 42% with a total camera app consumption of 3.42%.

The sound of the GT 6T is ideal with very good work in the high mids without lacking power in the bass for online multiplayer gaming or listening to music as if it were an external Bluetooth speaker. In fact, the game does very well with games like PUBG Mobile or the new Call of Duty, although in the latter it is still limited in the graphics configuration due to its requirements.

I buy it?

There are a lot of realme GT 6 in the 6T and the differences lie in the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chip (and important when launched and being the first mobile to mount it), two cameras on the back instead of the triple system of its older brother and an AI that does not does not appear at the moment in the mobile, although in the 6T it is dedicated to the user’s intention.

And a lot of details that enrich the realme GT 6 experience Also present: NFC 360° for comfortable payments, two stereo speakers, fingerprint sensor on the display, eye protection against software and screen, that “little mirror” as a rear module, system antenna to reduce lag and loss of mobile signal, WiFi 6E and the ability to hide certain files in a mode similar to the private folder of Google Photos.

If you are looking for a screen with a magnificent maximum brightness of 6,000 nits, excellent performance with 512 GB internal and up to 16 GB of RAM, photography for all types of moments that comes out well, and a battery for spend the day and charge to 50% in 10 minutes, the realme GT 6T covers more than expected being one of the most important mobile phones of the year in Europe in this price range.
