Thanks to powerful processors, high-refresh-rate displays, and optimized gaming software, modern smartphones can deliver on par with or even better than dedicated handheld consoles. 

However, not all smartphones are built for gaming, and picking the wrong one means sluggish performance, overheating, and a disappointing gameplay experience. 

So if you’re looking for a great gaming phone without spending over $500, we’ve rounded up the best options available in 2025. These phones offer the perfect balance of performance, battery life, and display quality—ensuring you get a smooth and immersive gaming experience without breaking the bank.

Poco F6

Price: INR 24,999

The Poco F6 is a standout option for gamers on a budget. It’s powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, which brings performance closer to flagship-level chips like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. 

Its Adreno 735 GPU can handle titles like PUBG Mobile and Apex Legends Mobile effortlessly, while the phone’s liquid cooling system keeps temperatures under control during long sessions.

The front is home to a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate support. And its fueled by a big enough 5000mAh cell with 90W fast charging support. Additionally, the device also supports PD charging which is another convenience for mobile gamers.

Like the F6, it has a 5,000mAh battery but with more speedy 120W fast charging support. On the downside, iQOO’s Funtouch OS doesn’t match the polish of some competitors’ software, and the camera system is average at best. But as a gaming device, it’s one of the best options in this price range.

The post 4 Best Gaming Phones Under $500 in 2025 appeared first on Gizmochina.

The nice-looking Oppo Reno 13 was initially unveiled in China, and recently to the global market as a mid-range phone. It brings an AMOLED screen, a Dimensity 8350 chip, a 50MP triple rear camera setup, and a long-lasting 5600mAh battery. Overall, it’s a good package. However, there are some excellent options that might offer you more value for the money.

4 Best alternatives to Oppo Reno 13

1. Samsung Galaxy S23

The Galaxy S23 5G is a no-brainer pick over the Oppo Reno 13 for many reasons. It’s a flagship smartphone rocking a high-quality 6.1-inch AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support. The brightness peaks at 1750 nits (vs. 1200 nits on the Reno 13), resulting in better clarity outdoors. It also has better screen protection, Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2.

The Galaxy flagship is powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, which has better CPU and GPU performance than the Dimensity 8350 that’s inside the Oppo Reno 13. That’s another win for the Galaxy S23. However, the software may be disappointing.

The Galaxy S23 also does a great job with cameras. It rocks a high-end triple camera setup that includes a 50MP OIS-enabled primary sensor, a 10MP telephoto sensor with 3x optical zoom, and a 12MP ultrawide camera with 120˚ field-of-view (FOV). The Reno 13, on the other hand, lacks a telephoto sensor and has an ultrawide sensor with a smaller FOV.

The S23 has a 12MP shooter for selfies. The Reno 13 can record up to 4K videos, but the Galaxy S23 can also record 8K videos. The selfie videos on both phones are capped at 4K.

The Galaxy S23 has an ultrasonic fingerprint reader, which works faster than the optical one on the Reno 13. However, one aspect where the Reno 13 clearly shines is the battery and charging. It has a 5,600mAh battery, offering longer screen time than the Galaxy S23’s 3,900mAh. The Reno 13 also has faster wired charging. However, it lacks wireless charging, but the Galaxy S23 doesn’t. 

The bottom line is that the Galaxy S23 is a much better option than the Reno 13 as long as you don’t mind slightly lesser battery backup and relatively slower charging.

2. Xiaomi 14 Civi

Xiaomi 14 Civi (review) is another great phone in the sub-INR 40,000 price bracket. It has some unique color options and a dual finish on the back. Both Xiaomi 14 Civi and Reno 13 have decent build quality, though the former lacks an IP rating for dust/water protection.

Both phones have an AMOLED screen that is almost similar in size, although they greatly differ in other aspects. For instance, the Xiaomi phone offers a higher peak brightness, Dolby Vision support, and tougher Gorilla Glass protection. It also has a slightly higher screen-to-body ratio.

The Xiaomi smartphone also wins the performance battle, as it rocks a more powerful Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip than the Dimensity 8350-powered Reno 13. It also brings faster storage, which adds to the performance. It also has an excellent rear camera setup that includes a 50MP OIS-enabled primary sensor, a 50MP telephoto shooter with 2x optical zoom, and a 12MP ultrawide sensor with 120˚ FOV.

The Xiaomi phone also has a better selfie camera as it also brings a 32MP ultrawide sensor in addition to a 32MP wide sensor. Overall, the Xiaomi 14 Civi has better cameras.

The Xiaomi 14 Civi falls short to the Oppo Reno 13 in terms of battery capacity and charging speed. It rocks a 4,700mAh battery and supports 67W wired charging versus 5,600mAh and 80W charging on the Reno 13.

3. Realme GT 6

This Realme phone has a slightly bigger screen than Reno 13. More importantly, it’s an LTPO panel, so you’ll enjoy extra smoothness while saving the battery. The Realme GT 6 also has a higher peak brightness and better screen protection than Reno 13. It has a lower IP rating, though.

The Realme GT 6 also has a 50MP primary sensor and an 8MP ultrawide sensor, but it replaces the 2MP depth sensor from the Reno 13 with a 50MP telephoto shooter for better zoom shots. The device also has a 32MP selfie snapper. Both phones can record up to 4K videos using rear and front cameras.

They have nearly identical battery sizes — 5,600mAh on the Reno 13 and 5,500mAh on the Realme GT 6. However, the latter is ahead with 120W charging (vs. 80W on the Reno 13).

4. OnePlus 13R

OnePlus 13R is another great value midrange, putting a tough show to against the Reno 13. It has a bigger AMOLED screen with LTPO support and a peak brightness of 4500 nits. The 13R also supports HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. However, it features a lower IP rating than Reno 13.

Both phones ship with Android 15 out of the box. However, the OnePlus 13R will get an extra Android upgrade and two additional years of security patches.

The biggest difference between the two is performance. The OnePlus 13R rocks a flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which is way faster and more efficient than the Dimensity 8350 inside the Reno 13. The 13R also has a better rear camera setup, which includes a 50MP primary shooter, an 8MP ultrawide sensor, and a 50MP telephoto shooter with 2x optical zoom. The selfie camera is 16MP.

Although both have all necessary connectivity features, the OnePlus 13R’s inclusion of Wi-Fi 7 makes it future-proof. This device also beats the Reno 13 in battery capacity, though the charging speed remains the same.

On the front, the Vivo V40 has a single 50MP camera, whereas the Xiaomi 14 Civi has two 32MP sensors — one acts as a wide sensor and the other as an ultrawide sensor. Both smartphones can record up to 4K videos using their rear and selfie cameras.

Google Pixel phones are more about software than hardware. You get to experience the purest version of Android.

The Pixel 8 has a better-quality display than the Vivo V40’s with Gorilla Glass Victus protection. One of the best things about this Pixel is that it will get seven Android upgrades, while the Vivo V40 only promises three. So, the Google Pixel will stay relevant for many more years to come.

The Pixel 8 also has dual rear cameras — a 50MP primary camera and a 12MP ultrawide lens with a greater field of view. Its 10.5MP selfie camera is housed inside the punch-hole cutout. Both rear and selfie cameras on the Pixel 8 can shoot up to 4K videos, just like the Vivo V40.

The post 5 Phones You Can Buy Instead of Vivo V40 appeared first on Gizmochina.

OnePlus Nord 4 is a solid mid-range phone featuring a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset, a 50MP dual rear camera setup, and a massive 5,000mAh battery — the highest ever on a OnePlus phone — with 100W superfast charging.

The base variant of the OnePlus Nord 4 with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage smartphone currently sells for Rs. 29,999, while the 8GB + 256GB variant costs Rs. 32,999. The top-of-the-line 12GB + 256GB variant is priced at Rs. 35,999. While the OnePlus Nord offers solid value, there are alternatives in the same price range that provide even more features and better performance. 

I have curated a list of 7 phones that are better than the OnePlus Nord 4 in one or many aspects. Check them out before you plan your next smartphone upgrade.

Let’s quickly go through the OnePlus Nord 4 spec sheet first:

1. Xiaomi 14 Civi

Xiaomi 14 Civi (review) stands out as a premium mid-range option, and arguably the best alternative to the OnePlus Nord 4.

It’s a 6.55-inch compact phone with a higher resolution and peak brightness. Unlike the OnePlus Nord 4, the Xiaomi 14 Civi comes with the added durability of Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection.

The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 drives the Xiaomi 14 Civi, a faster and more efficient chip than the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 inside the OnePlus Nord (see SD 8s Gen 3 vs 7+ Gen 3). So, you’ll have a better gaming experience on the Xiaomi phone. 

When it comes to cameras, the Xiaomi 14 Civi is miles ahead of the Nord 4. The circular camera module on the Xiaomi phone has three sensors — a 50MP primary camera with OIS, a 50MP telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom, and a 12MP ultrawide lens. Although both phones are capable of 4K recording, the output quality is a lot better on the Xiaomi 14 Civi.

The Xiaomi 14 Civi has dual selfie cameras — a 32MP primary sensor and a 32MP ultrawide sensor, while the Nord 4 has a single 16MP camera. You can record 4K selfie videos on the Xiaomi phone but not on the Nord 4.

The battery and charging specs are better on the OnePlus Nord 4, though. Another plus point for this phone is the software support. While Xiaomi promises 3 Android upgrades and 4 years of security updates, the OnePlus Nord 4 guarantees an additional Android upgrade and 2 extra years of security updates.

2. Vivo T3 Ultra

This Vivo phone has a slightly bigger screen, more resolutions, and a higher peak brightness than the OnePlus Nord 4. It also has Schott Xensation Alpha protection and a better IP rating, so you’ll have a good experience with the Vivo T3 Ultra’s display, even outdoors.

Although both smartphones run Android 14 out of the box, the Vivo phone has a disappointing update policy. The OnePlus Nord 4 will get four Android updates and six years of security updates, while the Vivo T3 Ultra only promises two Android upgrades and three years of security patches.

Thanks to the Dimensity 9200+ chip, the Vivo T3 Ultra offers better performance than the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3-powered Nord 4, and the 4023 sq. mm. VC cooling system keeps it cool during gaming.

Both smartphones feature a dual rear camera setup, which includes a 50MP primary sensor with OIS and an 8MP ultrawide sensor, though the Vivo phone has a larger field of view.

The selfie cameras have different resolutions, though. The Nord 4 features a 16MP sensor, while the T3 Ultra boasts a 50MP selfie camera. Additionally, the Vivo phone supports 4K video recording with its rear and front cameras, whereas the Nord 4’s selfie camera lacks this capability.

Both phones have a maximum battery capacity of 5,000mAh. However, the Nord 4 supports a faster charging of 100W (vs. 80W on the Vivo T3 Ultra).

3. Poco F6

The Poco F6 (review) might be an excellent buy if you prioritize performance over anything else. It has a screen size and resolution similar to the Nord 4 but a higher peak brightness. OnePlus Nord 4, however, has a better IP rating, but the Poco F6 gives you additional protection using Gorilla Glass Victus. Overall, both have excellent displays with minor differences.

You start noticing the difference when you perform tasks that require a lot of processing, such as gaming or video editing. The Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 powering the OnePlus Nord 4 is a sound chip but can’t match the performance level of the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3.

Both smartphones come with Android 14 out of the box, but the OnePlus Nord 4 gets an extra Android OS upgrade. Both have a dual rear camera setup, which includes a 50MP primary camera and an 8MP ultrawide lens. On the front, you get a 20MP camera (vs. 16MP on the Nord 4).

Both OnePlus Nord 4 and Poco F6 support 4K video recording, though selfie recording is limited to 1080p. However, the Nord 4 has the edge when it comes to battery capacity and charging speed.

4. Vivo V30 Pro

For those seeking good camera performance, the Vivo V30 Pro might be a good option. It has a powerful rear camera setup that includes three sensors: a 50MP primary sensor with OIS, a 50MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom, and a 50MP ultrawide lens with a 119-degree field of view.

The selfie camera on the V30 Pro also has 50MP resolution. The device can record up to 4K videos using the rear and selfie cameras. The camera performance is excellent that the Nord 4 can’t match.

Further, the Vivo phone features a Dimensity 8200 chip, which isn’t as good as the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3, but handles tasks pretty well. You can do casual gaming as well.

Both phones have similar connectivity features. However, the OnePlus Nord 4 has slightly better battery and charging specs.

5. Realme GT 6

It’s a solid alternative to the OnePlus Nord 4, but you’ll have to loosen your pocket a little more. The Realme GT 6 has a bigger display with more pixels and significantly higher peak brightness. It also has Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection, which is lacking on the Nord 4.

The Realme device is powered by a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip, which is more powerful and efficient than the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chip inside the OnePlus Nord.

Both devices ship with Android 14 out of the box, but the OnePlus phone will get an extra Android upgrade.

While both the Realme GT 6 and Nord 4 feature a 50MP main and 8MP ultrawide camera, the former also has a 50MP telephoto lens for better zoom shots. On the front, you get a 32MP selfie shooter. The Realme device lets you record 4K videos using both rear and front cameras.

Both devices share the same 5,500mAh battery capacity, though Realme GT 6 offers a faster wired charging of 120W (vs. 100W on the Nord 4).

6. OnePlus 11

Rather than the Nord 4, you can grab the OnePlus 11 (review) for a better display, performance, and camera quality.

The OnePlus 11 has an LTPO3 AMOLED panel, which supports variable refresh rates. It has a higher resolution and features Gorilla Glass Victus protection, although the peak brightness is better on the Nord 4.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 fuels the OnePlus 11, which offers better performance and stability than the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3-powered Nord 4. So, you’ll have a better gaming experience on the OnePlus 11.

As for the software updates, both smartphones are promised four Android upgrades, though the OnePlus Nord 4 gets an additional year of security updates.

The OnePlus 11 has a better camera setup than the Nord 4, which takes good photos and videos. It features a triple camera setup on the back, which includes a 50MP primary sensor with OIS, a 32MP telephoto sensor with 2x optical zoom, and a 48MP ultrawide sensor. The device can record videos at up to 8K resolution, which is limited to 4K on the Nord 4.

Both smartphones have a selfie camera of 16MP resolution and let you record up to 1080p videos.

The OnePlus Nord 4 lacks Wi-Fi 7 support but has a bigger battery than the OnePlus 11, although the charging speeds are the same.

7. Nothing Phone 2

Nothing Phone 2 stands out from the crowd because of its design, mainly the Glyph UI. If you want to test out some innovation in an otherwise boring market, the Phone 2 could be a good option.

The smartphone uses an LTPO OLED panel but has a lower resolution and peak brightness than the OnePlus Nord 4. It’s protected using Gorilla Glass 5, which is lacking on the other phone.

The high-end Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip fuels the Nothing Phone 2, which can deliver a smooth experience, including gaming. It comes with Android 13, whereas the Nord 4 boots Android 14 out of the box. Another plus point for the Nord device is an extra Android upgrade and two additional years of security patches.

The Nothing Phone 2 has a dual rear camera setup, including a 50MP primary sensor with OIS and a 50MP ultrawide sensor. It lets you record up to 4K videos. However, with the selfie camera, you can only record up to 1080p videos, like the Nord 4.

While the OnePlus Nord 4 offers a larger battery capacity and faster wired charging, it does miss out on wireless and reverse wireless charging, features that the Nothing Phone 2 includes.

If high-end gaming isn’t your priority, opting for the Nothing Phone 2a Plus lets you save money while gaining a better selfie camera and a bigger battery.

The OnePlus 12R arrived earlier this year, rocking a flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, high-quality screen, 50MP triple rear cameras, and super-fast charging support. 

The base variant with 8GB RAM is currently available for Rs. 37,999 and goes all the way up to 45,999 for the top-end model with 16GB RAM. The OnePlus “R” models are usually a trimmed version of a regular model at a discounted price. They offer a good value for the money. But in the case of OnePlus 12R, there are better alternatives from competitor brands that deliver more value at a similar price point.

If you are considering the OnePlus 12R, make sure to check out these alternatives to make a better purchase decision.

Let’s quickly go through the OnePlus 12R spec sheet first:

1. Xiaomi 14 Civi

Xiaomi 14 Civi (review) is the best alternative to the OnePlus 12R, but you’ll have to spend a little more to get this powerful package.

It is powered by a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip — a more powerful chip than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 inside the OnePlus 12R. So you’ll have a smoother experience and better gaming.

Xiaomi 14 Civi is a compact flagship phone, so you don’t get a big display. It’s a little shorter than the OnePlus 12R but has more pixels and produces 68 times more colours. Notably, the OnePlus device has higher peak brightness, but the 3000 nits on the Xiaomi phone should be enough for good visibility outdoors.

Both devices have necessary connectivity features, but the OnePlus phone supports a newer Wi-Fi standard but lacks Bluetooth 5.4 support, which is available on the Xiaomi 12R. The Xiaomi 14 Civi has the disadvantage of having less battery capacity and a slower charging speed than the OnePlus 12R.  

Besides performance, the Xiaomi 14 Civi truly outshines the OnePlus 12R in the camera department. The smartphone boasts a triple rear camera setup led by a 50MP primary sensor. The other two sensors include a 50MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom and a 12MP ultrawide lens with a 120-degree field of view.

For selfies, the Xiaomi phone features two 32MP sensors. It can record up to 4K videos using both the rear and front cameras, while the OnePlus phone can only record 4K videos with its rear camera.

Both smartphones ship with Android 14 out of the box and have the same software update policy — 3 years of OS updates and 4 years of security patches.

2. Realme GT 6

Realme GT 6 is also powered by the flagship Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip that delivers smoother performance than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-powered OnePlus 12R.

The Realme phone has the same screen size and resolution as the OnePlus 12R, although it has a much higher peak brightness of 6000 nits (vs. 4500 nits on the OnePlus 12R). Both have LTPO support for variable refresh rates and have Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection.

Both smartphones have a 50MP primary camera and an 8MP ultrawide lens. The third rear camera on the Realme GT 6 is a 50MP telephoto lens, while the OnePlus 12R has a 2MP macro sensor, which adds little to no value to the camera setup.

Both devices take good shots using their primary camera, but the zoom shots are better on the Realme device, thanks to the telephoto lens. Overall, the Realme GT 6 has a better rear camera setup. It has a 32MP sensor with up to 4K video recording support, while the OnePlus 12R can only record 1080p videos with its selfie camera.

The OnePlus 12R and Realme GT 6 have 5,500mAh battery. However, the Realme phone supports a faster charging of 120W (vs. 100W on the OnePlus 12R).

Overall, the Realme GT 6 offers much better value than the OnePlus 12R.

3. Vivo X90

The Vivo X90 (review) is another solid alternative to the OnePlus 12R. It boasts the MediaTek Dimensity 9200 chip, which is neck-to-neck with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 on the benchmarks and has barely any difference in real-life performance.

It has the same screen size as the OnePlus 12R but lacks LTPO support. The real USP of the Vivo X90 is its cameras. It rocks a triple camera setup on the back, which includes a 50MP primary sensor, a 12MP telephoto camera, and a 12MP ultrawide camera. The camera setup was made in collaboration with ZEISS for better colour accuracy and image quality.

The Vivo X90 takes better photos and videos than the OnePlus 12R. On the front, it has a 32MP selfie shooter. Both smartphones can record up to 4K videos using the rear camera and 1080p videos using the selfie camera.

Both smartphones carry the same connectivity features, except for the Wi-Fi 7 support in the OnePlus 12R. The Vivo phone has a slightly lower battery capacity but supports a higher fast charging of 120W.

4. Samsung Galaxy S23

The Galaxy S23 was launched last year at a starting price of Rs 74,999. Since then, it has received multiple price cuts and is now available at Rs. 47,000, thus becoming a good alternative to consider. But it is still a little costlier than the OnePlus 12R.

The Galaxy S23 is a compact flagship phone, smaller than the OnePlus 12R. It has Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection on both sides, while the OnePlus 12R has it on the front side only. The Galaxy device also has a better IP rating for dust and water resistance.

Both smartphones rock the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, so there’s no significant difference in performance. But there’s a big difference in the camera. The S23 has a more powerful camera setup, featuring a 50MP primary sensor with OIS, a 10MP telephoto lens with OIS and 3x optical zoom, and a 12MP ultrawide lens with a 120-degree field of view.

The Galaxy S23 has a more capable camera setup that produces better photos and videos than the OnePlus 12R. It can record up to 8K videos using its rear cameras and 4K videos using the front camera. The OnePlus 12R only supports 4K recording using the rear camera and 1080p with its front camera.

While the Galaxy S23 has powerful cameras, the battery isn’t that impressive. It’s a 3,900mAh battery with support for 25W charging. The OnePlus 12R, on the other hand, has a much larger battery capacity and supports super-fast charging. However, it lacks wireless and reverse wireless charging support that the Galaxy S23 offers.

5. Poco F6

If performance is your top priority, the Poco F6 (review) might be a great fit. It is also cheaper than the OnePlus 12R.

The Poco phone has a slightly smaller AMOLED screen but supports 68 times more colours. The peak brightness is 2400 nits, which is lower than the OnePlus 12R’s. However, the rest of the display specs are pretty similar.

The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 fuels the Poco F6, which performs better than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-powered OnePlus 12R. Since the Poco F6 is a gaming phone, it has a better cooling system and loads of gaming features. It also has faster storage, which adds to better performance.

The Poco F6 has two cameras on the back — a 50MP primary sensor and an 8MP ultrawide sensor. Like the OnePlus 12R, it can record up to 4K videos. On the front, there’s a 20MP selfie snapper.

The device houses a 5,000mAh battery and supports 90W fast charging versus a 5,500mAh battery with 120W charging on the OnePlus 12R. The OnePlus phone has a clear advantage here. However, both come with Android 14 and promise three years of Android updates.

The OnePlus phone can record up to 8K videos, while the Edge 50 Pro only supports up to 4K. However, the story is completely opposite for the selfie camera. The Motorola phone can record up to 4K selfie videos, but the OnePlus 11 supports 1080p videos.

Both smartphones have the same screen size, although there are many differences. For instance, the Edge 50 Pro supports a higher refresh rate and peak brightness, but the OnePlus 11 has more pixels to make the content look better.

The OnePlus 11 has a larger battery — 5,000mAh (vs. 4,500mAh on the Edge 50 Pro) — but recharging it takes a little more time.

The OnePlus 11 is a good choice over the Motorola Edge 50 Pro for performance, camera, and battery.

Xiaomi 14 Civi (review) is a little pricier than the Motorola Edge 50 Pro, but it’s an excellent value-for-money smartphone that ticks most boxes. It has a 6.55-inch screen with a higher peak brightness and more resolution. The device supports Dolby Vision and can produce 68 times more colours than the Edge 50 Pro.

It has dual selfie cameras—one is a 32MP wide sensor, and another 32MP is there for ultrawide shots.

Like the Edge 50 Ultra, the Xiaomi 14 Civi can record up to 4K videos with its front as well as rear cameras, but the quality is better with the Xiaomi phone. The Xiaomi phone also takes better photos than the other phone.

The Xiaomi 14 Civi also packs a larger battery, but the charging speed is limited to 67W (vs. 125W on the Edge 50 Pro). Except for the charging speed, the Xiaomi 14 Civi is better than the Edge 50 Pro in all aspects.

5. Vivo V40

The Vivo V40 boasts a slightly larger AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and 4500 nits of peak brightness for better outdoor visibility. It’s protected using a Schott Xensation Alpha, whereas the Edge 50 Pro has the widely-known Corning Gorilla Glass protection.

The iQOO smartphone is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which offers better performance and efficiency than the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 packed inside the Edge 50 Pro.

Vivo V30 is a mid-range smartphone launched earlier this year. It has an AMOLED screen, a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip, a 50MP triple camera setup, and a 5,000mAh battery.

The Vivo phone is currently available at a starting price of Rs. 33,999 for the 8GB/128GB base variant and goes up to Rs. 37,999 for the top-end model with 12GB RAM. However, competitors are offering more powerful smartphones at similar pricing.

If you’re looking to purchase a Vivo V30, check out these 6 top alternatives to make a better purchase decision.

Let’s quickly review the Vivo V30 spec sheet first:

1. Poco F6

The Poco F6 is a great alternative to Vivo V30 at a cheaper price for someone who prioritizes performance. It packs a solid Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip, which performs way better than the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 (in Vivo V30). Hence, you’ll see faster app loading, smoother performance, and gaming on the Poco F6. 

The Poco smartphone has a slightly smaller screen of 6.67 inches (vs. 6.78 inches on Vivo V30) and is thicker but lightweight, too. Both have a 120Hz AMOLED panel, but the Vivo phone has a slightly higher peak brightness. However, the Poco phone can display 68 times more colors than the Vivo V30.

Both smartphones have a 50MP primary camera with optical image stabilization (OIS), although the secondary camera has a different resolution. The Vivo V30 has a 50MP ultrawide lens, whereas the Poco F6 has an 8MP sensor. The ultrawide sensors on both phones have a 119-degree field of view.

Both phones can record up to 4K videos using their rear cameras, but the Vivo phone can also record 4K videos with its 50MP selfie camera, which is limited up to 1080p on the Poco F6 with its 20MP sensor.

Just yesterday, Realme finally announced the Realme GT 6 in China after days of teasers. It arrived as the latest flagship smartphone model from the brand but carries the same moniker as another device from Realme that was released for the global market. So what’s the difference between the Chinese and Global variants? Is the Realme GT 6 (China) better than the Realme GT (Global)?

Realme GT 6 (China) vs Realme GT 6 (Global): True Flagship Specs

There are plenty of differences between the two versions of the Realme GT 6. One of the most notable ones is the chipset that powers the device. In the global market, the Realme GT 6 is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC.

This processor is often seen in the affordable flagship or flagship killer category. On the other hand, the Realme GT 6 in China was launched with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which is the most powerful chip from Qualcomm. Most ultra premium Android flagship phones feature this chip. The Chinese version has a larger 5,800mAh battery pack, and the global model gets a 5,500mAh cell. Both of these support 120W wired fast charging.

Same Name, Different Bodies

The Chinese brand released the Realme GT 6 in the global market with a sleek design that offers a mirror finish on the camera module. It packs a plastic frame and plastic rear panel. These materials were likely to cut costs and make it more affordable.

However, the Chinese model has an aerospace grade aluminum middle frame and glass back. The dual tone design returns but with a raised camera module. An IP65 rating is offered on both variants for water and dust resistance. You get a Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 in the GT 6 (Global) while the GT 6 (China) offers Crystal Armor glass.

The differences are obvious from the rear, although, the front are practically identical. Both versions sport a tall 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR, 1 billion colors, and 6000 nits of peak brightness. It is worth mentioning that the Chinese GT 6 has a BOE S1+ AMOLED Pro XDR panel.

Camera

Looking at the duo, you can immediately tell that the Realme GT 6 in China only has two image sensors on the back, compared to the three on the global version. The Chinese variant features a 50MP Sony IMX890 sensor with OIS and an 8MP ultra wide angle lens on the back and the front houses a 16MP selfie shooter.

For the global markets, the Realme GT 6 has a 50MP Sony LYT-808 sensor with OIS, an 8MP IMX355 112° ultra-wide camera, and a 50MP Samsung JN5 telephoto camera. You also get a 32MP Sony IMX615 sensor for selfies and video calls. So while the Realme GT 6 in China packs higher end primary sensor, the global model is more versatile.

Pricing

Realme officially unveiled the GT 6 in the global market with a starting price tag of 600 Euros (roughly 650 US Dollars) in Europe and 40,999 INR in India (roughly 490 US Dollars). In China, you get the Realme GT 6 for a starting price of 2,799 Yuan (roughly 385 US Dollars). This makes it a great deal in the brand’s home market.

Both Realme GT 6 and OnePlus 12R are strong contenders in the flagship killer smartphone market, offering high-end features and powerful specs. Choosing between them can be tricky, so here’s a detailed comparison to help you decide which one suits you better.

Design and Display

Both phones sport a premium glass back design with a metal frame, offering a luxurious feel in hand. The Realme GT 6 introduces a unique Nano Mirror Design for a Shiny Metal Mirror Texture, while the OnePlus 12R offers a choice between a glossy Cool Blue and a matte Iron Gray finish.

In terms of display, both devices sport a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with 1-120Hz 8T LTPO panels, promising smooth visuals and adaptive refresh rates for optimal power efficiency. They also share Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection for enhanced durability.

However, the GT 6 sets itself apart with its Pro-XDR display technology, potentially offering superior brightness and contrast levels, along with a peak brightness of 6000 nits compared to the 12R’s 4500 nits.

Performance

Under the hood, the Realme GT 6 packs the latest Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, while the OnePlus 12R is powered by the slightly older Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Both processors are top-of-the-line and offer exceptional performance for gaming, multitasking, and everyday use. However, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 may deliver slightly better performance due to its newer architecture.

Both phones offer ample RAM and storage options, with the Realme GT 6 providing up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB UFS 4.0 storage, while the OnePlus 12R maxes out at 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage. In this regard, the Realme GT 6 offers more flexibility for users who require ample storage space.

Software and Features

Both phones run Android 14, with Realme offering its Realme UI 5 and OnePlus using OxygenOS 14. Both software overlays provide additional customization options and features on top of stock Android. Realme UI 5 includes AI-powered features like Smart Loop and Smart Removal, while the OnePlus 12R boasts its signature Alert Slider for convenient notification management.

In terms of software updates, both companies promise 3 Android updates and 4 years of security updates, ensuring that the phones stay up-to-date and secure for a considerable time.

Camera

Both phones feature triple rear camera setups, but there are some key differences. The Realme GT 6 boasts a 50MP main sensor with OIS, along with an 8MP ultrawide and a 50MP telephoto lens.

The OnePlus 12R also has a 50MP main sensor with OIS, but it comes with an 8MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro lens. The Realme GT 6’s superior telephoto lens and larger sensor size on the main camera give it an edge in image quality and zoom capabilities.

For selfies, the Realme GT 6 offers a 32MP front camera, while the OnePlus 12R has a 16MP shooter.

Battery and Charging

Both phones house a 5500mAh battery, ensuring all-day usage even with heavy use. However, the Realme GT 6 supports 120W SuperVOOC fast charging, which can charge up to 50% in just 10 minutes, while the OnePlus 12R supports 100W SuperVOOC charging, which is still remarkably fast.

Other Features

Both phones offer in-display fingerprint sensors, stereo speakers, and support the latest connectivity options like 5G, Wi-Fi 6 (Realme GT 6) or Wi-Fi 7 (OnePlus 12R), and Bluetooth 5.4 (Realme GT 6) or Bluetooth 5.3 (OnePlus 12R). Both phones also include an additional infrared sensor, which might be useful for controlling smart home devices.

Price

The pricing is very competitive. The Realme GT 6 starts at Rs. 40,999 for the 8GB + 256GB model, while the OnePlus 12R starts at Rs. 39,999 for the 8GB + 128GB option. If you prioritize storage space, the Realme GT 6 offers a 512GB option for Rs. 44,999, whereas the OnePlus 12R maxes out at 256GB for Rs. 45,999. So, for almost the same price (Rs. 44,999), the Realme GT 6 offers double the storage capacity.

Conclusion

So, is the OnePlus 12R really better than the Realme GT 6? The answer is no. Choosing between the Realme GT 6 and the OnePlus 12R is straightforward. If you prioritize the latest processor, ample storage, a brighter display, and a telephoto camera, the Realme GT 6 is indeed the better choice.

However, if you prefer OxygenOS, the OnePlus 12R is still a compelling option with excellent performance and a slightly lower starting price. Ultimately, the best choice depends on your individual preferences and priorities.

The Realme GT 6 has just launched in the Indian market as the brand’s latest affordable flagship model. It arrives about a month after the Realme GT 6T‘s release. These devices are a part of the same lineup and look pretty familiar, but they target different segments. So here’s a quick comparison between the two.

Realme GT 6 vs Realme GT 6T: Flagship Killer against a Mid-range phone

The Chinese brand’s new Realme GT 6 and Realme GT 6T arrive for two different audiences. The former is an affordable flagship smartphone, while the latter is an upper mid-range device. This is best reflected in the processors that power these devices. The GT 6 is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, which is a high-end chipset.

Meanwhile, the GT 6T model comes with the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 SoC. The Realme GT 6 maxes out at 16GB + 512GB, while the GT 6T comes with up to 12GB + 512GB. Both of these are powered by a large 5,500mAh battery pack that supports 120W wired fast charging.

Design & Display are nearly identical

The duo are nearly identical from the front and back. Both of these devices sport a tall 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display that offers 1.5K resolution, and a 120Hz refresh rate. These panels also support HDR and have an impressive peak brightness of 6,000 nits. This panel is surrounded by a plastic frame and plastic back on both models as well. The back panel has a dual tone finish with three circular modules. The lack of a third sensor on the GT 6T is the only major visible difference.

Realme GT 6 with more versatile cameras

Realme released the GT 6 with a triple camera setup on the rear, which includes a 50-megapixel primary, 50-megapixel telephoto shooter, and an 8-megapixel ultra wide angle lens. The front houses a 32-megapixel selfie shooter. Similarly, the primary 50-megapixel camera makes a return with an 8-megapixel ultra wide angle lens. However, it skips the telephoto sensor for zoomed shots. For video calls and selfies, the 32-megapixel camera returns.

Pricing & Verdict

Pricing is a major factor that differentiates the two. In India, the Realme GT 6T has a starting price tag of 30,999 INR, and the GT 6 costs 40,999 INR for the base model. In other words, there’s a 10,000 INR price gap. Thanks to the more advanced processor, you have more raw performance that makes it better for intense tasks like gaming. So if you’re on a tight budget but need a decent mid-range device, the Realme GT 6T would better suit your needs. However, the Realme GT 6 is a great option for those who want flagship level performance without spending exorbitant prices

Realme has just launched the GT 6 smartphone for the global market. This sub-flagship device features Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor and boasts the world’s brightest display at 6000 nits. However, the competition is not idle.

Xiaomi’s recent offering the Xiaomi 14 Civi is similarly priced to Realme’s GT 6, runs on the same Snapdragon processor, and the two devices are so alike in other aspects that it can be challenging to decide between them. Naturally, we decided to write a comparison between these two smartphones. Let’s begin.

Display

The Realme GT 6 features a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, while the Xiaomi 14 Civi opts for a slightly smaller 6.55-inch AMOLED screen with the same 120Hz refresh rate. However, Realme has the edge in terms of display technology.

The GT 6’s panel includes flagship-grade 8T LTPO technology, supporting a variable refresh rate from 0.5 to 120Hz, 2160Hz PWM dimming, Greenfield AI protection, and several other features designed to reduce eye fatigue. 

Additionally, the GT 6’s screen can reach a peak brightness of 6000 nits, surpassing even flagship models like the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Note that its just the peak it can achieve. For normal contents, the brightness maxes out at 1000 nits.

In comparison, the Xiaomi 14 Civi offers a peak brightness of 3000 nits but boasts a higher 12-bit color depth compared to the 10-bit color depth of the GT 6. Both displays are protected by Corning Glass Victus 2 for resistance against drops and scratches.

Design

In terms of design, both the Xiaomi 14 Civi and Realme GT 6 feature curved displays with slim bezels. On the back, the Realme GT 6 has a cleaner look with a glass back accented by a mirror-like stripe across the rear camera module. It comes in Silver, Green, and Purple color options.

On the other hand, the Xiaomi 14 Civi offers different back designs depending on the color variant. The Shadow Black variant features a plain glass back, while the Matcha Green variant combines a vegan leather finish with a glass inlay for a distinctive look. The Cruise Blue variant also features a two-tone textured glass finish. 

The Xiaomi 14 Civi is notably slim and lightweight as well, measuring a maximum of 7.8mm thick and weighing 179.3 grams. In comparison, the Realme GT 6 is slightly thicker at 8.6mm and heavier at 199 grams. As for ingress protection, the Realme GT 6 holds an IP65 rating, offering better resistance to dust and water compared to the Xiaomi 14 Civi’s IP54 rating.

Performance and Software

Both phones are powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor which is a pretty reliable performer for everyday tasks and even for intensive gaming sessions. 

Memory-wise, you can get them with 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB or 512GB or UFS 4.0 storage. Additionally, the Realme GT 6 is available with a higher 16GB RAM option. Both devices run on the Android 14 operating system, customized with their respective skins on top.

Camera

The camera systems on both phones are geared towards everyday use but with some key differences. The Realme GT 6 features a triple rear camera setup with a 50MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultrawide lens, and a secondary 50MP telephoto lens. 

The Xiaomi 14 Civi also has a triple rear camera system with a 50MP main, a 50MP telephoto, and a 12MP ultrawide sensor.

On the front, the Realme GT 6 sports a single, 32MP camera, while the Xiaomi 14 Civi is home to a dual front-facing camera consisting of a 32MP main and 32MP ultra-wide angle camera. Not to forget, Xiaomi also has Leica optimization for its cameras.

While the Xiaomi 14 Civi appears to have a more versatile camera setup on paper, hardware alone doesn’t dictate performance—software optimization plays a big role in camera performance. So it’s recommended to go through reviews from reliable sources to gauge how well each phone’s camera system performs in real-world conditions.

Battery and Charging

Moving on, the Realme GT 6 comes equipped with a larger 5500mAh battery compared to Xiaomi 14 Civi’s 4700mAh capacity. As a result, we expect Realme GT 6 to provide longer battery life on a single charge. Realme also offers a faster charging speed at 120W whereas the Xiaomi 14 Civi offers a still commendable 67W fast charging solution.

Note that neither device supports wireless charging or reverse wireless charging options, which may be a consideration for some users. 

Price

In terms of pricing, the Realme GT 6 starts at Rs 40,999 for the 8GB RAM and 256GB storage variant. The higher-tier options include a 12GB RAM with 256GB storage variant priced at Rs 42,999 and a 16GB RAM with 512GB storage variant priced at Rs 44,999.

On the other hand, the Xiaomi 14 Civi’s pricing starts at Rs 42,999 for the 8GB RAM and 256GB storage variant, which is slightly higher than the base model of the Realme GT 6. The 12GB RAM with 512GB storage variant of the Xiaomi 14 Civi is priced at Rs 47,999, which is even higher than the highest configuration of the Realme GT 6 (16GB RAM and 512GB storage).

Both phones are available at lower prices through bank discounts and other promotions, but overall, the Realme GT 6 appears to offer better pricing across its range compared to the Xiaomi 14 Civi.

Conclusion

Both the Realme GT 6 and Xiaomi 14 Civi offer compelling features, and choosing between them is a matter of personal priority. 

You can opt for the Xiaomi 14 Civi if you need a versatile camera system (plus optimizations from the professional camera brand Leica), and prefer a slim and compact design. Or go with the Realme GT 6 if a larger display, higher RAM configurations, longer battery life, and faster charging speed are features that you need. To reiterate, Realme’s offering is also more affordable than the Xiaomi 14 Civi.

Realme is gearing up to unveil the Realme GT 6 in the Indian and global markets soon. The brand’s latest flagship killer has been spotted on various teasers and reports in the days leading up to the launch. So now, here’s everything that has been revealed and what you can expect from the Realme GT 6.

Realme GT 6: Premium Design & Display

To recall, the Realme GT 6 arriving in the global market is not the same as the GT 6 model that was released in the brand’s home market of China. Rather, it is expected to be a rebranded version of the Realme GT Neo 6, which also launched in China back in May. So it retains the premium glass design for its rear panel. The back also comes with a dual tone color scheme and three circular modules for the camera sensors and LED flash.

The GT Neo 6 model came with an IP65 water and dust resistance rating, so the global version of the Realme GT 6 would likely offer the same. Meanwhile, on the front, it is rumored to sport a tall 6.78-inch 8T LTPO OLED display that is made by BOE. This screen is surrounded by thin bezels and is surrounded by a metallic frame. It will likely offer 1.5K resolution, HDR, and a 120Hz refresh rate. The GT Neo 6 came with 1,600 nits of brightness (HBM) and 6,000 nits of peak brightness. For protection, it is rumored to come with a curved edge Gorilla Glass Victus 2.

Affordable flagship with high-end processor

A flagship killer is defined by its relatively affordable price tag compared to their true flagship counterparts. These also offer top-notch specs and features. Under the hood, the global variant of the Realme GT 6 is equipped with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC that might be paired with 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 of internal storage. This high-end chipset is cooled via the world’s largest 10,014 sq mm dual VC cooling system, as per a recent teaser.

Big battery with super fast charging & AI

A massive 5,500mAh battery pack powers this device, which supports 120W wired fast charging. In just 10 minutes, Realme claims it can charge the device to 50 percent. A full 100 percent charge could take just 28 minutes. The brand had recently teased the AI packed features that will be arriving in the upcoming device. Realme’s GT 6 will employ AI in three key areas, namely imaging, efficiency, and personalization.

Camera, Other Features, & Launch

For optics, the Realme GT 6 is expected to offer a triple dual camera setup on the rear that consists of a 50-megapixel Sony LYT600 main camera with OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) and an 8-megapixel ultra wide angle lens. Meanwhile, the front houses a 32-megapixel shooter for selfies and video calls. The device comes with a dedicated ISP as well.

The Chinese brand confirmed that the Realme GT 6 will be equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC in an image poster. This also claims that the device managed to score an AnTuTu score of over 1.65 million thanks to the high-end processor. The chipset is also paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. A top-end processor also needs a robust cooling system and the image poster showcases this as well.

Realme states that the Realme GT 6 comes with the world’s largest 10,014 sq mm dual VC cooling system. The brand also added that you need a flagship chipset, flagship cooling, and flagship cooling as the trio for peak performance. So apart from the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 and 9 layer cooling system, the device is also paired with a massive 5,500mAh battery pack. This cell is paired with 120W wired fast charging, which promises to charge the device to 50 percent in just 10 minutes and 100 percent in just 28 minutes.

Talking about its design, the Realme GT 6 has been confirmed to offer a body that looks similar to the previously unveiled GT 6T. However, it will employ a more premium glass material on the back over the plastic on the GT 6T. For those unaware, the Realme GT 6 is set to be announced on 20th June 2024.

A new flagship killer smartphone model from Realme is apparently in the works. The company’s next-gen affordable flagship device is expected to be the Realme GT 6. But ahead of any official announcement, the upcoming handset has surfaced on a major Chinese certification and even a big leak. So let’s check it out.

Realme GT 6 Surfaces on 3C & Major Leak

The brand’s new Realme GT 6 model surfaced on the 3C certification with the RMX3800 model number. This approval basically implies that the launch in China is right around the corner. On this certification, the device was seen with a VCBOACH charger, which is an adapter that supports up to 120W fast charging. This is faster than the 100W fast charging from the previous gen Realme GT 5. That’s not all, known tipster Digital Chat Station revealed more details like its key specifications on Weibo (a Chinese microblogging website).

The tipster claims that the device will sport an 8T LTPO OLED display that is supplied by BOE. This panel would even offer a 1.5K resolution. In terms of design, the Realme GT 6 may offer a flat display on the front, a glass rear panel, and a metal middle frame. Under the hood, the leak hints that it will be equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, which is a flagship-grade chipset. Similar to the 3C certification, the tipster claimed that this model will support 120W wired fast charging.

On the rear, the device may offer a 50-megapixel flagship main camera, however, it will skip a telephoto shooter which is common on most premium phones. Based on what we know so far, the screen is likely a tall 6.78-inch panel. A massive 6,000mAh battery pack may power this device. This is all the information we have at the moment, so stick around for more updates.

The post Realme GT 6 China launch near: Spotted on 3C & new leak with flagship chip, 120W fast charging, & more appeared first on Gizmochina.

Realme released the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 powered GT Neo 6 SE as the GT 6T globally. They’re also bringing the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 powered Chinese GT Neo 6 to the global market as the GT 6 on June 20th.

However, Realme has plans for an even more powerful GT 6 specifically for the Chinese market. A recent leak on Weibo revealed some key details about this upcoming phone.

According to the leak, It will feature a flat BOE-supplied S1 display with a 1.5K resolution. It could be the same 6.78-inch OLED panel with a peak brightness of 6000 nits as the Neo 6 and Neo 6 SE. 

Under the hood, the device is expected to house Qualcomm’s current best Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. Additionally, the leak suggests a massive 6,000mAh battery with 100W charging support.

The camera department might see a 50-megapixel primary sensor, though further details remain unclear. The leak also mentions a metal middle frame for a premium build quality.

The Chinese GT 6 will likely face stiff competition from other flagship contenders like the Redmi K70 Ultra, OnePlus Ace 3 Pro, and iQOO Neo 9S Pro+. 

While the Redmi phone will use the Dimensity 9300+ chip, the others are expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

It’s unclear when Realme will unveil its 8 Gen 3 powered GT 6 in China, but a Weibo post from a prolific tipster Digital Chat Station revealed that several Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 phones have launch dates moved up to June or early July. 

The reason, Qualcomm will launch its next-gen Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip in October, and new phones featuring this chip are expected to arrive the same month, They will likely dominate the high-end smartphone market then.

Considering this rumor, we can expect not only the Realme GT 6 but also the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro to launch within this month or at the beginning of next month. The Redmi K70 Ultra is already rumored to launch in June.
