HMD may have struck gold with the Skyline – the phone’s design mixes nostalgia for the Nokia N9 with a bold Neon Pink hero color and the repairability angle (while not unique) does earn some brownie points. The phone is surprisingly capable – the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 is by far the most powerful chip inside an HMD phone. Admittedly, the competition is the Snapdragon 695 and some Unisocs, but we’re glad to see that HMD is finally moving to better chips. The phone’s 6.55” display is a 144Hz OLED (FHD+) and features a 50MP selfie camera on top. On the rear, a 108MP main (OIS), 50MP 2x tele and...

The Realme GT 6 is a really good phone, judging by last week’s poll, but that price might be an issue. A decent chunk of voters are interested, though some are holding off until positive reviews come in. You can check out our review to help you make up your mind (there’s also a video review with Will). Around a quarter of voters think that the GT 6 is too expensive and point to phones like the Poco F6 Pro and OnePlus 12R as alternatives. It looks like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (despite its age) is the preferred option over the 8s Gen 3. But these two offer a slightly different mix of specs...
The GT series is back and Realme is pushing the two new models with solid discounts. Let’s start with the brand new device, which was announced earlier this week. The Realme GT 6 features a capable camera system with a 50MP main (1/1.4”), 50MP 2x portrait camera and an 8MP ultra wide (112°), plus a 32MP selfie cam. In our review, we found that the ultra wide and the selfie modules aren’t great, but the other two cameras did impress. However, the 6.78” 1264p+ LTPO display is excellent and supremely bright. Battery life from the 5,500mAh power cell is great (14:32h Active Use score) and...
Realme is changing tack – for a couple of years the focus was on the Realme number series in the European and Indian markets. The GT series was redirected to limited releases and the last models to launch in Europe and India were the GT2 and GT Neo3 generation. We spoke to Chase Xu after today’s event, which introduced the Realme GT 6 and brought the GT 6T to Europe to learn about the company’s plans for the future. Going forward, Realme wants to release two GT series phones globally each year. This will eventually include a GT Pro model as a more premium offering, though that will come...
The Realme GT 6 is now official, marking the GT series return to global markets at an event in Milan, Italy. It's a feature-packed flagship killer and the first Realme GT phone to sell globally in more than year. The phone is built around what the Realme calls Hyper Display. It's a 6.78-inch 1264x2780px AMOLED panel with 120Hz refresh rate and a bonkers 6,000 nits of peak brightness, which the company says is the brightest on a phone yet. There's a sheet of Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on top of it for protection. The Realme GT 6 Ticking inside is the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 that's all...
Realme is gearing up to announce two GT6 smartphones with a global version launching on June 20 and a separate model by the same name set to debut in China at some point with a higher-end chipset. Realme India shared some new teasers for the global GT 6 model which will be marketed as Realme’s “First AI Phone”. The latest round of teasers reveals some of the functions that will take your photos to the next level with the help of AI. GT 6 will receive a dedicated AI Night Vision Mode which should help preserve more detail in low-light conditions as suggested by the teaser. We also...
Today is the day – Realme is launching India’s first Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3. That phone is the Realme GT 6T and other than the chipset, this launch is notable because the powerful GT series had been conspicuously absent from India for two years. The event (and the livestream below) start at 12 noon local time. We will have a detailed report on the GT 6T launch, but we’ve already had a preview. The phone will be powered by the 7+ Gen 3, a recent release with the powerful Cortex-X4 prime core and a huge boost to GPU performance (and a small decrease in power usage). The chipset promises...

Realme promised the GT 6T will be India's first Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 smartphone, and now we have an official launch date. The company revealed the smartphone will arrive next Wednesday, May 22 at 12 noon IST. The official info came alongside the first image of the phone, revealing the design and a 50 MP camera we've seen on the Realme GT Neo6 SE – a phone launched in China with the same Qualcomm chipset. There is a reasonable suspicion then that the two are actually the same device. Realme said the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chipset can score over 1.5 million on AnTuTu and even claimed it...
