Realme’s new 6 series is meeting us tomorrow at 12:30 PM IST in India. The company canceled the offline event and is keeping a virtual press conference to launch one of the most important smartphones from the brand this year. The Realme 6 and 6 Pro will be a bit different from its predecessors, in the sense that the Realme 6 is now targeted at a slightly higher price segment. The company executive cleared this in a tweet earlier this week, saying that the Realme 6 will be the real ‘Pro’ for the brand. This means the Realme 6 Pro will be pushed further higher up in the price segment as well, offering premium features unseen in its predecessors.
There’s a lot we know about the upcoming Realme 6 series, but there’s a lot we don’t know as well. Whenever possible, we’ll try to speculate the missing specifications in this article to give you a complete picture of what to expect from the online event tomorrow.
Realme 6 & 6 Pro Design
Both models are expected to feature a similar design, which includes a punch-hole camera in its display and quad-rear cameras. This would be a deviation from the waterdrop notch on its predecessor but fits right alongside other mid-range punch-hole devices like the Poco X2. One big difference between the two models in terms of design is in the front. The Realme 6 will come with a single punch hole shooter on its display, while the Realme 6 Pro adds two punch-hole cameras on the front.
We have no official word on the placement of the fingerprint sensor, but it could be placed on the side.
Realme 6 Specs
Let’s take a quick look at what to expect from the Realme 6 tomorrow. There are some really big upgrades in the new model. The phone is confirmed to feature a 64MP camera setup at the back likely with a new telephoto sensor. Realme teased 20x zoom on the Realme 6 series, which could be limited to the Pro model.
Another big change that’s expected is in the CPU department. Instead of the Snapdragon 665 chipset found on its predecessor, the Realme 6 should feature MediaTek’s gaming Helio G90T processor. Yes, I said G90T, the same chip found inside the Redmi Note 8 Pro. There were some rumors about the phone getting the slower G90 variant, but the Wi-Fi Alliance certification has practically confirmed MT6785T aka Helio G90T as the chip powering the new device. Also, G90 doesn’t support a 90Hz refresh rate panel, only the G90T does.
