Realme GT 6T First Impressions: Geared for Gaming
Realme India, for reasons best known to the company, stopped launching any of its new GT-branded smartphones after the launch of the GT Neo 3, which also arrived in a special 150W model.

However, this competitive price does see Realme cutting a few corners. Now that I've used the handset for a short while, the obvious one is the plastic frame and rear panel, which, despite its modern minimalist appearance, is a proper dust magnet. The rear panel also flexes a bit as well. Strangely, despite using plastic for its chassis and rear panel, Realme claims its phone is also IP65
