Realme launched the GT 6 in India in June 2024 at Rs 40,999 for 8 GB and 256 GB. It marked the return of the GT series as a performance flagship in India and was pitched as a flagship killer, combining a near-top-tier chip with an extremely bright display and a versatile camera set.
The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 delivers excellent performance in games and multitasking, supported by a large vapour chamber. The 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED is rated for up to 6,000 nits peak brightness and remains readable in harsh sunlight. Cameras include a 50 MP Sony LYT-808 main with OIS, an 8 MP ultrawide and a 50 MP 2x telephoto. The 5,500 mAh battery charges at 120 W, reaching full in under 30 minutes.
Rivals included the OnePlus 12R, the Poco F6, the iQOO Neo 9 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE. The Poco F6 had the same chip for less, while the OnePlus 12R offered a slightly faster processor. The GT 6 stood out with its telephoto camera and very bright screen.
