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 charging is quite fast (66% in 15 minutes). With all this, plus the high-performance Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 with good cooling, this phone certainly earns its “flagship killer” moniker. Note that the listed prices are early bird offers, the normal pricing should be €50 higher.
The Realme GT 6T came to Europe this week after an initial launch in India. The normal price is €550, but right now the base model is only €400. This one has the same display at the GT 6, but switches over to the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3, which is a dialed back version of the 8s Gen 3.
The main camera has a smaller 50MP sensor (1/1.95”) and lacks the portrait module, but the rest is basically the same. The battery system is the same too, 5,500mAh capacity and 120W fast charging. Note that both phones are rated IP65 and the GT 6 has Gorilla Glass Victus 2.
The Motorola Edge 50 Pro features an impressive 50MP selfie camera placed on top of the curved 6.7” 144Hz OLED display (1,220 x 2,712px). The rear cameras include a 50MP main (1/1.55”), a 10MP 3x tele module and a 13MP ultra wide. This phone is powered by the regular Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 and it is paired with plenty of RAM and storage by default. The 4,500mAh battery may be small, but it offers good endurance (11:59h Active Use score) and is very fast to charge both over a wire (125W, 91% in 15 minutes) and wirelessly (50W).
The OnePlus 11 is from last year, but the price of this old flagship is comparable to the newcomers mentioned above. It features a 6.7” QHD+ LTPO OLED display and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, so it still holds its own. The camera is similar to the GT 6 with a 50MP main (1/1.56”), 32MP 48mm portrait module and a 48MP ultra wide (115°).
OnePlus dropped wireless charging for this generation, so the 5,000mAh battery (11:05h Active Use score) relies only on 100W wired charging (22 minutes to 100%). The OnePlus 11 will receive a total of 4 OS updates (one down already) and security patches until 2028.
Samsung recently unveiled the Galaxy Watch FE as a cheaper alternative to its regular Watch series. This is basically a slightly tuned up version of the Galaxy Watch4 and is only available in 40mm size. Why not get the Galaxy Watch4, then? The 44mm model with LTE is down to €124 right now. There is a 40mm version too, but that costs slightly more (these are left over units) and even more if you want LTE.
The Nothing Ear (a) is the company’s more affordable set of TWS buds. These are rated IPX2, so they should be sweatproof and offer long battery life with ANC enabled (5.5 hours in one go, a total of 24.5 hours with the case). While they support LDAC, they don’t have LHDC 5.0 support like the pricier Nothing Ear buds.
