Realme randomly shelved its GT series of mid-range smartphones after its

Photos from the ultra-wide camera are strictly average, as they appear soft and blurry even in daylight. Noise is under control, but the longer exposures and sub-par lens setup end up making photos very soft and blurry.

1080p videos appear scaled-down and lack detail when shooting in daylight. 4K recordings appear better, but I noticed some flickering when capturing complex textures or intricate patterns. There’s also visible noise in the shadows, which I did find a bit strange. As expected, low-light video recordings are just about passable as they have plenty of noise.
Realme GT 6T Review Battery: Charges really fast
- Battery capacity – 5,500mAh
- Charging rate – 120W (wired)
The Realme GT 6T comes with a 120W wired charging adapter in the box
Battery life as expected, is quite good. The large dual-cell battery not only charges up very quickly but can easily last two days with casual (non-gaming) usage. With camera and gaming usage, the phone will easily last a day and a bit more. Running our standard video loop test, the phone managed a good 24 hours and 32 minutes. Charging the device was equally impressive, reaching 93 percent (from a dead battery) in 30 minutes and completing the charge in just 38 minutes.
Realme GT 6T Review Verdict
The Realme GT 6T has turned out to be quite the opposite of its more expensive sibling, the Realme GT 6. While it’s just as capable as the older GT Neo models in terms of gaming performance, the 6T appears to follow the same path as its predecessors, which makes it hard to recommend as an all-rounder. Battery life and fast charging speeds still remain a very good reason to get a GT 6T, but I’m pretty sure most users will expect more from its cameras keeping in mind its Rs. 32,999 asking price.
If you are looking for better quality and a solid software experience, the OnePlus Nord 4 (Review) is an easy recommendation, given its all-metal design that does feel premium. The Poco F6 (Rs. 29,999 onwards) offers a similar feature set as the 6T, but with its Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor is a much better choice if you only have gaming on your mind.
For better camera performance, there’s Realme’s brand-new 13 Pro+ 5G (Review), which shockingly retails at the same price point. It offers a capable processor and a good telephoto camera performance like its predecessor.
