Realme GT 6 long-term review: Performance powerhouse even after 6 months?

<h2>The Realme GT 6 is a powerful smartphone with a stunning display, fast performance, and fast charging. But is it free from flaws? Read on to find out its pros and cons after six months of use.</h2>

After nearly six months with the Realme GT 6, it&rsquo;s clear that this phone is a bit of a mixed bag. While there&rsquo;s no denying it&rsquo;s a powerhouse, like any long-term relationship, its quirks begin to stand out over time.&nbsp;
Though the device excels in many areas, it does have its flaws, which we&rsquo;ll break down in this review.&nbsp;
<h3>Realme GT 6: Design&nbsp;</h3>
The GT 6 still feels premium, with its smooth matte silver finish and glossy stripe across the back. That stripe, however, is a total smudge magnet, picking up fingerprints and smears. While the phone does come with a case, the glossy stripe and camera module remain exposed, so it doesn&rsquo;t do much to improve the situation. &nbsp;&nbsp;
At 8.6mm thick, it&rsquo;s not the slimmest phone out there, but the curved edges make it feel comfortable in hand. The camera bump has some heft, and while functional, it lacks any unique flair. Phones like the Realme 13 Pro+ still manage to look sleeker despite being lower in the lineup.&nbsp;
<h3>Realme GT 6: Display and Audio&nbsp;</h3>
This 6.78-inch 1.5K LTPO AMOLED panel is undoubtedly one of the highlights. Colors are vibrant, HDR content pops, and the 120Hz refresh rate makes every interaction buttery smooth. The bezels are razor-thin, and the chin is barely there, giving you an edge-to-edge experience.&nbsp;
Realme claims a peak brightness of 6000 nits, which, let&rsquo;s be real, is more about marketing than practical use. In actual use, it&rsquo;s capped at 1600 nits in High Brightness Mode, which is still plenty bright for outdoor usage.&nbsp;
The optical fingerprint scanner is also fast and reliable, and the stereo speakers are great for bingeing content or casual gaming.&nbsp;
<h3>Realme GT 6: Performance&nbsp;</h3>
The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset powering the Realme GT 6 is as fast as it was on day one. From demanding games to multitasking with dozens of apps, the phone consistently delivers a smooth and responsive experience. Playing graphics-intensive games like Call of Duty at 120 fps continues to feel satisfying, with no stutters or frame drops.&nbsp;
However, one long-term observation is its thermal management. While the GT 6 performs well in short bursts, extended gaming sessions often lead to noticeable heat buildup, making the phone somewhat uncomfortable to hold. Over time, this hasn&rsquo;t worsened but hasn&rsquo;t improved either. Realme's updates have helped slightly with optimization, but the heat generation remains an issue. &nbsp;
Interestingly, while it scores over 14 lakh on AnTuTu, it falls slightly behind its more affordable sibling, the GT 6T, which is powered by the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3.&nbsp;
<h3>Realme GT 6: Software and AI Features&nbsp;</h3>
On the software front, our review unit is still running Realme UI 5.0, based on Android 14. While Realme has announced the early access rollout of Realme UI 6.0, powered by the Android 15 beta in India, we&rsquo;ve yet to receive it on our device despite repeated attempts to check for updates.&nbsp;
As it stands, Realme UI 5.0 delivers a smooth and feature-packed experience, but it&rsquo;s not perfect. Bloatware remains an issue, and the relentless app market notifications can be downright annoying. Thankfully, a significant amount of the pre-installed apps can be uninstalled, though it does take some effort.&nbsp;
On the bright side, features like the AI Eraser in the Photos app are genuinely useful, even if they rely on an internet connection to work.&nbsp;
Realme&rsquo;s commitment to software updates isn't too bad either&mdash;three years of major OS updates and an additional year of security patches. This means if you buy the device today, you&rsquo;re set to receive updates up to Android 17 untill 2027 and security support until 2028.&nbsp;
<h3>Realme GT 6: Camera&nbsp;</h3>
Using the cameras over a longer period has reinforced my initial impressions. The 50MP Sony LYT-808 main sensor pulls its weight in most scenarios. Photos come out sharp and detailed, with natural colors and solid dynamic range. Low light performance is commendable, though extreme contrast can trip it up.&nbsp;
The 50MP telephoto lens with 2x zoom is a welcome addition, but the lack of OIS is noticeable. Indoor portraits often struggle with blur, and edge detection can be hit or miss. Outdoors, though, it shines with accurate skin tones and pleasing bokeh effects.&nbsp;
The 8MP ultrawide is fine for casual shots but doesn&rsquo;t bring anything groundbreaking. On the video front, the GT 6 impresses with 4K 60fps recording from the main and telephoto lenses, offering detailed and stable footage.&nbsp;
<h3>Realme GT 6: Battery and Charging &nbsp;</h3>
The 5,500mAh battery consistently delivers, comfortably lasting a full day with mixed use &nbsp;and consistently delivering over 8 hours of screen-on time&nbsp;
What&rsquo;s spoiled me, though, is the 120W fast charging. Going from 0 to 100% in just 30 minutes has been a lifesaver, especially on busy days. The charger&rsquo;s included in the box, which feels like a rare treat these days.&nbsp;
<h3>Realme GT 6: Price and Verdict&nbsp;</h3>
Overall, the Realme GT 6 remains a capable performer. Priced at ₹40,999 on Flipkart at the time of making this video, it offers a solid combination of performance, display quality, and fast charging . For those who prioritize speed, display quality, and fast charging, it&rsquo;s an easy recommendation. &nbsp;
That said, the competition in this price range is fierce. The Poco F6 offers comparable power, and the Realme GT 6T provides much of the same experience for less money. Still, for those who want a reliable all-rounder with flagship touches, the GT 6 holds its ground.&nbsp;

The all-new Realme GT 6 is equipped to impress with a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip, 50MP telephoto camera, and more. It aims to dominate the sub-₹40,000 segment. Will it outperform its rivals?
Following a brief hiatus, the Realme GT series returns to India in 2024 with a bang! Hot on the heels of the Realme GT 6T, the even more powerful Realme GT 6 has now arrived.&nbsp;
It aims to conquer the sub-₹40,000 smartphone segment with its Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, big 5,500mAh battery, and a dedicated 50MP telephoto camera.
Can it dethrone the current contenders in this competitive price bracket? It&rsquo;s time to find out!
<h3>Realme GT 6 Design</h3>
At first glance, differentiating the Realme GT 6 from its more affordable sibling, the GT 6T, is a challenge. Both phones share a near-identical design aesthetic, with a smooth matte silver finish accented by a mirror-like stripe running across the rear camera module.
The glossy stripe across the back proves to be a fingerprint magnet, constantly attracting smudges and requiring frequent cleaning.
However, a closer look reveals some differences. The GT 6 packs three camera lenses compared to the 6T's dual setup. This translates to a thicker camera cutouts on the GT 6, compared to the slimmer cutouts of the 6T.
To be honest, the GT 6's camera module placement feels a bit derivative, lacking any unique visual identity. Personally, I find the more affordable Realme 12 Pro and Pro+ much more elegant than these GT twins.
On paper, the GT 6 is also not the slimmest phone around at 8.6mm, but given that the front and rear panels are curved, it actually feels much slimmer in hand.
<h3>Realme GT 6 Display &amp; Utility</h3>
The display of the GT 6 is shared with the 6T, but it is worth another mention. It's a 6.78-inch 1.5K curved LTPO AMOLED display, and it comes with a 120Hz refresh rate, which gives you a very smooth scrolling experience.&nbsp;
The phone's bezels are pretty thin, and its chin is very minimal as well. It's a delight to look at. The colours on this display are excellent, and you'll enjoy watching content on it. HDR content also looks very bright and colourful, and also supports Dolby Vision.&nbsp;
The company also claims that it offers a peak brightness of 6000 nits: yes, you heard that right, 6000 nits! That being said, the local brightness in High Brightness Mode is still 1600 nits only - quite a good number, but it's important to understand how brands generate hype with the &lsquo;peak brightness&rsquo; number.
Moving on, the GT 6 comes with an optical fingerprint scanner under its display, which worked with good speed and accuracy during my testing period.&nbsp;
Also, the stereo speaker setup on this smartphone is loud and crisp, which makes content watching quite enjoyable.
<h3>Realme GT 6 Performance &amp; Software</h3>
The GT 6 is powered by a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset. In fact, the chipset is one of the key differences between the Realme GT 6 and GT 6T, with the latter featuring the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3.&nbsp;
The choice of chipsets does make sense, because just like the GT 6 and GT 6T, the 8s Gen 3 and 7+ Gen 3 are also twins (both share the same architecture). The former is an amped up version of the latter with higher-frequency cores and a slightly more potent GPU.
Interestingly, benchmark scores on the GT 6 and GT 6T tell a somewhat conflicting story &ndash; the 6T edged out the GT 6 in AnTuTu, while the GT 6 pulled ahead in 3D Mark's Wildlife Extreme stress test, but only slightly.&nbsp;
Ideally, the GT6 should have clearly beaten the 6T in these benchmarks, so I&rsquo;m not sure what happened here. Maybe Realme will push a relevant update soon.
Gaming on the Realme GT 6 isn&rsquo;t an issue either: it handles heavy games with ease and can play popular titles like Call of Duty Mobile at 120fps.&nbsp;
But, I recently reviewed the Poco F6, another phone with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip, and one major issue with it was excessive heat generation. Even in air-conditioned environments, the F6 became uncomfortably warm.&nbsp;
The Realme GT 6, unfortunately, suffers from the same issue. Realme has equipped this phone with an &lsquo;Iceberg Vapor Cooling System&rsquo;, featuring a massive 10,014mm&sup2; 3D tempered dual vapour chamber, but that still does not do much. &nbsp;
The smartphone persistently got hot while gaming and running benchmarks, and this leads me to believe that the heat issue might be inherent to the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 itself. In fact, I also simultaneously ran all the tests on the GT 6T, and that phone remained noticeably cooler.&nbsp;
Now let's talk about the software. This phone comes with Realme UI 5.0 based on Android 14. When it comes to Realme UI, there are a lot of features, but there's also some bloatware, although it is less than other Realme phones.
However, the presence of Glance lock screen and App Market notifications is pretty annoying, and Realme could have eliminated these since the GT 6 is their most expensive smartphone in India.
Realme UI also gets all the AI goodies from ColorOS and OxygenOS &nbsp;The feature suite is nowhere as comprehensive as that on Samsung&rsquo;s Galaxy S-series or Google&rsquo;s Pixel phones, but hopefully it will expand in future.
I quite like the AI Eraser in the Photos app, which can neatly remove small objects from images. But, this feature still needs an internet connection to run properly.
<h3>Realme GT 6 Cameras</h3>
This smartphone has a triple rear camera setup: 50MP main, 50MP telephoto with 2x optical zoom, and an 8MP ultrawide. Selfies are taken care of by a 32MP front camera.
The camera setup is the second area where the GT6 tries to justify its premium over the 6T: not only does it have a dedicated telephoto camera, but its main Sony LYT-808 sensor is also superior to the 6T&rsquo;s LYT-600.
The main sensor delivers solid performance in most lighting conditions. Colours are accurate, photos are packed with detail, and dynamic range handles most situations well, though it can struggle in extreme contrasts like shooting directly into the sun.&nbsp;
Low-light performance is respectable, maintaining detail and decent highlight control. Night Mode applies some artificial sky brightening, but it achieves pleasing results for most users.
The telephoto camera is an interesting one. It is a 50MP sensor with a 2x optical zoom. However, it raises a question: the more affordable Realme 12 Pro+ boasts a superior 3x zoom periscope camera. Why wouldn't Realme equip their flagship phone with the same sensor?
However, focal length isn&rsquo;t my primary concern: it, in fact, is the lack of OIS on this sensor. Consequently, all indoor portrait photos are prone to blur, which is quite disappointing. Edge cutout in portrait photos isn&rsquo;t great for indoor shots either, and most photos come out to be overly saturated.
However, if you decide to take portrait shots in natural light, the results are quite pleasing. The skin tones come out to be fairly accurate, while the edge detection becomes more precise.
As far as the ultrawide and selfie cameras are concerned, they get the job done with serviceable quality photos.
A highlight of the GT 6 is its ability to record 4K 60fps videos from the main and telephoto sensors, with the selfie camera offering 4K 30fps recording. All video recordings offer a good level of detail.
<h3>Realme GT 6 Battery Life</h3>
The GT 6 comes with a 5,500mAh battery which is quite a respectable size. Consequently, you can extract over 8 hours of screen time from it with mixed use.&nbsp;
Naturally, heavy gamers might see this number dip. Still, the Realme GT 6 is easily a full day battery smartphone for most people.
The phone supports ultra-quick 120W fast wired charging, and Realme is also kind enough to bundle a compatible adaptor with this phone.
It gets you from 0 to 100% charge in a mere 30 minutes - a game-changer for those who are always on the go. Talking from personal experience, the convenience of such crazy-fast charging is quite addictive!
<h3>Realme GT 6 Review</h3>
Priced at ₹35,999 (including launch offers), the Realme GT 6 is an interesting contender for those looking for a powerful smartphone which can take social media ready photos and offer good battery life.
However, it's not without competition. The iQOO Neo 9 Pro is another strong contender in this price bracket. Then, value-conscious users who can live with slightly less power might find the Realme GT 6T a more attractive option.
Still, the Realme GT 6 is a capable smartphone that delivers on its core promises, and I&rsquo;m glad that the GT series is back in India.
