REALME 6 PRO | REVIEW |

 

Realme, especially , has been on a roll with a gentle launch schedule that constantly ups the ante as far as spec packages go.  In fact, the Realme X2 won our greatest value smartphone award for 2019, a testament to how far the corporate has come.

The rest of the layout is standard, with the USB-C port and headphone jack occupying the lower fringe of the phone. The polycarbonate frame helps to stay the load low, though I’m not a lover of the plastic volume buttons. They feel cheap and slippery in comparison to the remainder of the hardware.

The back of the Realme 6 Pro sees yet one more variation on the favored gradient design. Realme’s combat it, especially within the lightning-blue color variant, looks elegant and understated while still being eye-catching. Great job, Realme!

Gorilla Glass 5 on the rear and therefore the front means you'll assured of some scratch resistance. However, the rear panel may be a fingerprint magnet and I’d recommend using the supplied case. The phone isn't waterproof.

The Realme 6 Pro comes with Qualcomm’s new 720G processor, which was designed for affordable mid-range devices. Built on an 8nm process, the 720G incorporates eight Kryo 465 cores. These are arranged in dual clusters of two Cortex A76 cores and another cluster of six Cortex A55 cores to deliver better battery life. Meanwhile, the GPU is that the Adreno 618.


Realme features a history of doing a reasonably good job of optimizing the software for the hardware. This continues to be the case here. General day-to-day usability is top-notch. The interface works smoothly when locked at 90Hz.
Gaming performance was nothing to scoff at. I played a couple of rounds of PUBG and therefore the phone easily delayed at the very best settings with none stutters. PUBG, however, only supports 60Hz.

The Realme 6 Pro’s biggest competitor is that the recently launched Poco X2. The latter boasts a good faster 120Hz display. However, the upper GPU requirements for the display negate the benefits of the overclocked GPU on the Poco X2’s Snapdragon 730G chipset. the 2 should be evenly paced for the foremost part.

The 4,300mAh battery is marginally bigger than the cell within the Realme 5 Pro and that i found myself getting each day and a half solid use from the phone. Even when pushed hard, the Realme 6 Pro easily lasted from morning through night.

When it's time to refill the battery, the included 30W charger is welcome. The phone takes almost an hour to travel from 0 to 100%. there's no wireless charging support here, but you shouldn’t expect that at this price point anyway.

On the software front, there’s a mish-mash of old and new. The phone is that the first to ship with Realme UI out of the box supported Android 10. It even features a fairly recent February security patch installed. Realme UI in its current form is small quite a re-skinned version of Color OS.

A smartphone camera is quite the function of hardware. Computational photography and algorithms play an enormous role in shaping the type of images you'll expect from your phone. Realme has been fairly consistent on this front and has steadily improved image quality across the board. this point around, the camera setup offers an ultra-wide lens, a zoom lens , also as a fanatical macro camera additionally to the most 64MP shooter.

The primary sensor may be a 64MP Samsung GW1 that pixel-bins images right down to 16MP to enhance image quality. For the foremost part, pictures look pretty good. The camera is tuned to spice up sharpness, and this is often particularly noticeable within the foliage. there's an honest amount of detail, though pixel-peeping reveals aggressive noise reduction. The HDR mode works quite well and was ready to retain the highlight and there's an honest amount of detail in shadow regions. In fact, dynamic range isn’t regrettable for a mid-ranger.

There is an enormous variance in white balance performance when switching between camera modes. this is often particularly noticeable when alternating between ultra-wide and telephoto. There are trade-offs in either. for instance , the ultra-wide mode falls short on dynamic range while the zoom lens isn’t very sharp and there are noticeable artifacts.
