Realme XT — Review & Full Phone Specifications
The Realme XT is bringing something special it’s the first smartphone to be released with a 64 megapixel camera was taken in depth look in our full review the Realme XT is a mid Ranger with an AMOLED screen on a display fingerprint reader large battery and a unique quad camera setup all for around (Rs.17,606) the design is gorgeous and sleek it’s rare for a mid ranger to have Gorilla Glass 5 on the front and the back
Realme didn’t cut corners with the frame though although it looks like metal is made of plastic instead the pearl white finish is quite eye-catching changing colors in a curved gradient when it reflects lights the camera hump is quite huge though and the Realme XT will wobble a lot on a desk or table but you won’t have this problem if you use the included silicon case with both Gorilla Glass and a case he won’t have much to worry about except water there’s no waterproofing here the Realme XT is display is a six point four inch Super AMOLED with a 1080p resolution
it’s a bit smaller than last year’s Realme X and the notch cut out is a major difference to those who liked the edge to edge screen of the Realme X might be disappointed but if you’re not into pop-up selfie cams you’d be happy with the change the display looks bright and punchy and has a good pixel density of around 400 PPI blacks are super deep and color reproduction is decent though not terribly accurate brightness is pretty good at almost 415 its maximum there’s no boost available in auto mode but we didn’t have issues using this phone in the Sun DC dimming is available to reduce eye fatigue from screen flicker
there is an always-on display but it only shows the date and a clock and there is a notification LED either the Realme XT has an optical under display fingerprint sensor that is speedy and nicely accurate beware if you’re using a screen protector as that might slow it down there is face unlock it’s fast but not as secure the Realme xt has a single bottom firing speaker it’s scored an excellent mark and our loudness test though audio quality isn’t the best high-pitched tones can come out tinny and harsh you can plug in headphones through the 3.5 millimeter jack but the audio quality with them doesn’t impress stereo separation isn’t great and loudness is just average you do get FM radio though
Specifications of the Realme XT
with this phone you get either 64 or 128 GB of on-board storage you can add extra space thanks to the dedicated micro SD slot the Realme XT runs Oppo color OS 6 over android 9 pi you’ve already seen this interface on the real me x as well as the Realme 3 & 5 families you will notice the difference from stock Android here the notification shade and as quick toggles are redesigned and the task switcher looks a lot like Apple’s there is a game of space which gives you options for performance and notifications while gaming
you can navigate using either the on-screen keys or swipe gestures these gestures will feel quite intuitive if you’ve use an oppo huawei or xiaomi phone recently the Realme xt runs on a snapdragon 712 chipset basically last year’s snapdragon 710 with a slightly higher clock speed you also get four six or eight GB of ram depending on the model CPU performance is about 10 percent better than the Realme X and indeed is better than most other phones in this class there’s more than enough GPU power for your games and we didn’t observe any significant throttling during our tests
the Realme XT has an ample 4000 mAh battery and did great in our battery life tests scoring an endurance rating of a hundred hours it was a major improvement over last year’s Realme X makes a better performance in standby the XT also supports voke 3.0 fast charging and the 20 watt voc charger does come in the box it’s able to bring the phone from 0 to 50 percent charge in half an hour the Realme XT has a quad camera arrangement like the Realme 5 and 5 pro there’s an 8 megapixel ultra wide camera a 2 megapixel sensor for portrait mode another 2 megapixel camera for taking macro shots
the star of the show the 64 megapixel main camera the quad Bayer filter the Main photos in 16 megapixels and to be honest it isn’t such a huge improvement over the 48 megapixel quad Bayer sensors we’ve used but with that said shots do turn out quite nice in good light there is plenty of detail true to life colors low noise and wide dynamic range but we did notice some corner softness and the processing sometimes has trouble with details in grass and foliage there is a chroma boost mode which uses image stacking to give you shots with more saturated colors and improve dynamic range
Camera Features of the Realme XT
you do have the option to shoot a photo in the full 64 megapixels but like other quad Bayer setups this doesn’t offer you too much extra detail and the file size is Huge if you zoom you will get a digital crop from the main camera there’s even a 5x zoomed help but don’t expect great quality here even at 2x results are already quite soft the ultra wide camera has a 119 degree field of view detail isn’t impressive though and dynamic range is limited and there’s no autofocus but you do get low noise and automatic distortion correction here are some shots we took with a dedicated macro camera
there’s no water focus but you can get as close as four centimeters to the subject the detailed level is okay but not great the Realme XT shoots portraits with the help with the secondary portrait camera which Realme says not only helps with deaf sensing but the contrast as well these are excellent with good edge detection and convincing D focus backgrounds messy hair is still a bit of a challenge though in low-light photos from the main camera
look good the noise reduction still leaves behind a decent amount of detail and colors are nicely rendered if you turn on chroma boost the colors will be more saturated but that’s about all the benefit you’ll get there is a dedicated night mode though called nightscape pictures take two or three seconds to process and come out in 12 megapixels you get a more even exposure with a boost in shadows and dark areas detail is impressive to shooting with the ultra wide cam at night will give you underexposed shots with plenty of noise and little D
if you switch on the nightscape mode the results are a little better but still mediocre selfies are taken with the real me XT is 16 megapixel F 2.0 front-facing can which has fixed focus it does a great job if you have good lighting you’ll get super detailed and sharp selfies videos can be captured with the main camera and up to 4k at 30fps there is no option to shoot with the ultra wide cam but these 4k videos look really good with rich detail spot-on colors low noise and impressive dynamic range the high bitrate means that these take up a lot of space though there’s no e is available in 4k but there is stabilization if you switch over to 1080p quality is great here too so
that’s the Realme XT you get a bunch of features you might not expect at this price point there’s a beautiful build a large AMOLED screen great battery life with fast charging competitive performance and a nice camera experience but the benefits of the 64 megapixel sensor over a 48 megapixel one are kind of hard to put your finger on for now is just a numbers game but the real downside of this phone isn’t about the phone itself but actually getting it real means are only offered in a few select markets and if you’re outside of those you’ll have to buy a grey importance but even then it might be worth it if you want a mid-range phone with some really nice specs and you don’t want to break the bank you might look no further than the Realme XT it’s a solid recommendation.
