Realme GT 6 series specs

At first glance, both the Realme GT 6 and the Realme GT 6T certainly seem like one and the same. They both have basically identical 6.78-inch AMOLED displays pushing a 2780 x1264p resolution for a pixel density of 450PPI. However, its star feature here is that Realme claims it’s the world’s brightest smartphone display, with the Realme GT 6 series capable of up to 6,000nits of peak brightness, though realistically you’ll be getting a more regular 1,000nits of standard brightness and 1,600nits in HDR mode. The display also covers the DCI-P3 colour gamut, has up to a 120Hz refresh rate and a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 is present for scratch resistance too.

Under the hood though is the first major difference between the two. The Realme GT 6 will come with a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 while the Realme GT 6T gets a Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 powering it. Both of these processors are built on the TSMC 4nm process node, and actually have identical core layouts, it’s just that the latter is clocked slightly lower. The Realme GT 6 also comes with up to 16GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage, while the GT 6T gets mated to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, with both devices coming with Android 14 out of the box skinned with RealmeUI 5.0 over it.

As for cameras, the Realme GT 6 has a main 50MP, f/1.69 camera using the 1/1.4″ Sony LYT-808 image sensor, flanked by another 50MP, f/2.0 telephoto using the Samsung S5KJN5 image sensor offering 2x and 4x zoom options. The Realme GT 6T on the other hand has a main 50MP, f/1.88 shooter with a Sony LYT-600 image sensor, and loses out on the telephoto altogether. Both devices also come with an 8MP, f/2.2 ultrawide and a 32MP, f/2.45 front facing camera.

Other features of note include a 5,500mAh battery on both devices with support for 120W fast charging that is able to get it back to 50% in just 10 minutes. You’ll also find Realme’s own NEXT AI suite of tools on the Realme GT 6 series as well as an in-display fingerprint sensor, stereo speakers and support for NFC, 5G, WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4 wireless connectivity.
