A month after the launch of the GT Neo 6 SE, the brand launched the GT Neo 6 in the Chinese market today. The Realme GT Neo 6 is a flagship phone from the brand, featuring the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset. In typical Realme fashion, the phone is priced very aggressively in the Chinese market, with the starting price being ¥2099 (~$290).

This makes it a solid competitor to the Redmi Turbo 3, which was launched in China with the same SOC and a starting price of ¥1999 (~$276).

Realme GT Neo 6 Design

The design is identical to that of the GT Neo 6 SE. There is a slightly curved display on the front with slim bezels, a dual camera setup on the back with a two-tone design, IP65 certification, and stereo speakers. The phone has three color options, two of which are the same as the GT Neo 6 SE.

The similarities continue in the spec sheet as well. The phone has the same 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution, 10-bit color depth, 120Hz refresh rate, and a staggering 6000 nits peak brightness. The battery size is the same at 5,500mAh, but the charging speed is bumped up to 120W, versus 100W.

There is the same camera setup – a 50MP Sony IMX882 primary rear sensor with OIS, an 8MP Sony IMX355 sensor for the ultrawide lens, and a 32MP Sony IMX615 sensor for the selfie camera.

While the chipset is different, there is the same cooling system as the GT Neo 6 SE. It is worth mentioning that there is not a big difference in performance between the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 and the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3. There is an identical CPU, with the only difference being a higher clock speed of 3.0GHz in the case of the 8s Gen 3, versus 2.8GHz. The GPU is slightly better in the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, but the difference is negligible.

  • 12GB + 256GB – ¥2099 (~$290)
