As for the optics, the GT 6T has dual cameras on the back, including a 50-megapixel f/1.88 Sony LYT-600 primary sensor with OIS and an 8-megapixel f/2.2 IMX355 ultra wide angle lens. Meanwhile, the front houses a 32-megapixel f/2.45 IMX615 selfie camera.

Realme GT 6T: Should You Buy It?
The Realme GT 6T, at its price point, surely looks like an appealing deal. The handset does appear to have some unique features up its sleeve, such as the brightest display there is in a smartphone, at least in the Indian market for now. We don’t know if it’s merely numbers or would also translate well in real world use but we’ll have to settle with numbers for now as we haven’t had the chance to use it.
The Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 was unveiled a couple of months ago and is the most powerful 7-series chipset. Realme itself calls it the “Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Lite” which should give you an idea of its power capabilities. With near-flagship level performance, the 7+ Gen 3 is actually quite a capable Processor for not only daily tasks but also for demanding tasks, such as gaming. At a similar price range, you also get the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in the iQOO Neo 9 Pro which is again a power-packed chipset and performed really well in our review also.
As for software, you get Android 14-backed Realme UI 5.0 which is again the latest Realme has to offer. It is also cleaner than FunTouch OS but not cleaner than Hello UI or Nothing OS. As a result, if you want a more minimal software solution, other options can be considered in the said price segment.
We won’t comment on the camera performance until we have used the device but the sensor setup isn’t disappointing at least on paper. In addition, the device packs one of the biggest batteries in the segment with 120W fast charging, so there are no complaints there.
To sum up, at its price point, the Realme GT 6T can definitely be considered if you want an all-rounder package. It does exceed its competitors in some areas and could be the new dominator of the segment.
