Today the Realme 6 and Realme 6 Pro went official and they bring significant upgrades over their predecessors despite coming just five months later - new chipsets, 90Hz displays and 30W fast-charging.

Realme 6

This is the first Realme smartphone with Mediatek’s gaming-oriented G90T chipset. The 12nm platform brings an octa-core CPU with two 2.05GHz Cortex A76 big cores and six 2GHz Cortex-A55 power efficient cores, Mali-G76 MC4 GPU and is coupled with either 4GB, 6GB, or 8GB RAM.

The Realme 6 packs a 6.5” LCD, just as big as on the Realme 5, but the resolution got upgraded to FullHD+ and it now comes with 90Hz refresh rate. It has Gorilla Glass 3 on top and a punch hole for 16MP F/2.0 selfie camera with relatively large 1/3.1" sensor.

There are four snappers on the back - 64MP main one with Samsung ISOCELL Bright GW1 sensor, 8MP f/2.3 ultrawide unit, 2MP dedicated macro shooter and a 2MP B&W auxiliary unit for enhancing the portrait shots.

On the inside, there is also a 4,300 mAh battery that could be charged in one hour with the 30W charger in the box.

There are three versions on offer - 4/64 GB for INR12,999 ($177), 6/128 GB costing INR14,999 ($204) and 8/128 GB priced at INR15,999 ($218).

Realme 6 Pro

Realme 6 Pro rocks the brand new Snapdragon 720G chipset. Built on an 8nm process it has a 2.3GHz octa-core Kryo 465 CPU, an Adreno 618 GPU and either 6GB or 8GB RAM.

The Realme 6 Pro sports a 6.6” LCD with 90Hz refresh rate and FullHD+ resolution, which has a pill-shaped punch hole that hosts two selfie cameras. Those include a 16MP f/2.0 Sony IMX471 module and an 8MP ultrawide snapper with 105-degree field of view.

The setup on the back is also impressive - the main 64MP camera is accompanied by a 12MP f/2.5 telephoto shooter, an 8MP ultrawide angle snapper, and 2MP macro lens. The Realme 6 Pro supports UIS and UIS Max Video Stabilization.

The battery of the Realme 6 Pro is the same as its vanilla sibling - 4,300mAh cell with support for 30W fast charging.

Both phones also have Realme UI with Android 10 serving as a base, and the Pro supports NavIC - India’s own satellite navigation system.
