    Verdict

    The Realme GT 6 (8GB + 256GB) is an "AI flagship killer" smartphone with a powerful Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset and a brilliant 6.78-inch 1.5K LTPO AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a staggering 6000 nits peak brightness. Key pros include an impressive 50MP main camera featuring the flagship Sony LYT-808 sensor with OIS, a long-lasting 5500mAh battery, and incredibly fast 120W SuperVOOC charging, which can charge the phone to 50% in approximately 10 minutes. It boasts a premium-feeling glass back and an IP65 rating for durability, while running Realme UI 5.0 based on Android 14 with three years of promised OS updates. The main cons are the glossy rear panel, which is a fingerprint magnet, a subpar 8MP ultrawide camera, and the presence of some pre-installed bloatware.
