The Upcoming Realme GT 6 Has Been Certified By The US FCC
The main numbered versions of the Realme GT line have always been the flagship killer type of smartphones — very high-end specifications at a price that gives the bigger companies a run for their money. The Realme GT 5 came out in August last year, so a Summer launch for the GT 6 isn’t unlikely. However, quite excitingly, it seems like the phone will be getting an international launch that includes the United States.
Realme phones have never been officially launched in the US before. Still, the upcoming Realme GT 6 has reportedly passed by and been certified by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which would mean that it is gearing up for a release in the US.
Not only that but thanks to some news from NotebookCheck, it looks like it will also be certified by other regulatory agencies like BIS and Eurofins. That means the phone can also be expected to land in Europe and India. Typically, you can expect most major Realme devices to launch in China, its home country, but sometimes they don’t share with the rest of us. Thankfully, that doesn’t seem to be the case.
What Specs Can We Expect From The Realme GT 6?
We know a little bit about the specifications that the Realme GT 6 will come with, and we can also extrapolate a few bare minimums using the specs of the GT 5 that came before it. We have no idea how the phone will look, but if it is similar to its predecessor, it’ll definitely stand out from the crowd.
The FCC certification of the Realme GT 6 hints at a 5,500 mAh battery (with some degree of fast wired charging, of course), 5G and NFC support, and all the usual suspects like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and GPS. Unsurprisingly, it is expected to run Realme UI 5.0, which is built over Android 14. It’s also clear, thanks to a benchmark tied to the device’s model number, that it’ll come with the recently announced Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset from Qualcomm (expected in the Realme GT Neo 6 as well).
The Realme GT 5 had a 6.7-inch 1.5K AMOLED screen with a 144Hz refresh rate, so I wouldn’t really expect Realme to go downward from there. The phone also had UFS 4.0 storage with options for 12GB and 16GB of RAM (proper flagship-level specs so far). The GT 5 had insane 150W wired charging, and I personally don’t expect it to get any faster than that — if it does, US consumers should definitely consider this phone strongly. Realme doesn’t shy away from insane charging, after all.
The only thing is that photography lovers might find a lot lacking with the phone. The GT 5 had a 50MP main camera with OIS, which is fine, but it was paired with a basic 8MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro, and if you ask me, once you see the 2MP macro in the setup, the company is just trying to hit the “triple camera” branding.
