Realme’s GT Neo series has always sought to deliver flagship specs at more affordable prices. With the new GT Neo6, does it deliver another triumph at the mid-range tier?

Design and Build

Available in eye-catching shades of Silver, Green, and Purple, the GT Neo6 looks and feels decidedly more premium than its price tag suggests. Ergonomics are on point thanks to its compact 6.38” footprint and featherlight 191g build.

Build quality feels robust for the segment, with smooth matte finishes blending seamlessly into the slim 8.7mm frame. An IP65 rating further adds to its rugged credentials. First impressions convey a sense of polish fitting of more expensive devices.

Display and Performance

A beautiful 6.78-inch AMOLED screen boasts vivid QHD+ visuals alongside a super responsive 120Hz refresh rate. Images practically pop off the ultra crisp panel which gets searingly bright outdoors.

Powering the Neo6 is Qualcomm’s capable Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip paired with up to 16GB RAM. Early usage feels lighting quick across demanding tasks and graphics-heavy games run flawlessly on max settings. Its multi-core performance benchmarks surpass much pricier rivals.

Cameras and Battery

Its versatile dual camera setup includes a sharp 50MP main and expansive 8MP ultrawide. Early samples show intricate detail and natural colors in various lighting scenarios.

An ample 5500mAh battery paired with blazing fast 120W charging ensures all-day runtimes from just minutes plugged in. Early tests validate Realme’s claims of a 50% top-up within 10 minutes. Its endurance should satisfy power users.

Pricing and Early Impressions

Priced from around €270, the GT Neo6 undercuts comparably specced phones by over €100. Build quality matches more expensive devices while its performance benchmarks surpass them.

Initial signs point to another winner from Realme. Its flagship caliber specs, sublime design, and competitive price make it a very enticing proposition for those seeking a powerhouse device without emptying wallets. Performance still needs long-term vetting but first impressions don’t lie – the GT Neo6 is a strong contender for mid-range phone of the year.
