Earlier this year, Oppo subsidiary Realme officially entered the market in Germany. At a price of 230 to 300 Euros (US$260 to US$339) depending on the memory configuration, the Realme 6 with its 90-Hz display is a particularly interesting smartphone from the Chinese manufacturer.
Xiaomi smartphones were initially popular for being a great value purchase. Unfortunately, they do not just keep getting better and better, but they also keep getting more expensive. This situation plays directly into the hands of newcomers such as Realme. The Oppo subsidiary entered the market in 2018 and later proudly announced that it had sold more than 25 million smartphones in 2019. In Germany, Realme devices have been available through indirect channels, and they are now also available directly from various local suppliers.
The Realme 6 is one of the first devices available from the manufacturer. It has a display with a resolution of 2400x1080 pixels and offers a Widevine level 1 certification. The smartphone's stand-out feature is the display's high refresh rate of 90 Hz. While this feature can also be found on the Realme 6 Pro, which is also now available, the manufacturer demands a 50-Euro (US$56) premium for the Pro version with 128 GB of storage space and 8 GB of RAM. Lower-end configurations of the Realme 6 with less memory can be purchased at prices starting from 229 Euros (US$259) or less on online stores other than Realme's official online shop.
Realme UI, which replaces the parent company's ColorOS on newer devices, comes with the game launcher "Game Space", which is potentially interesting for gamers. It includes a screen recorder that captures the screen as well as front-camera video and either system sounds or microphone audio. Furthermore, the launcher allows quick access to the performance of the Realme 6's processor MediaTek Helio G90T for an automatic or a manual boost. Naturally, we evaluated the performance of the Realme 6 using various benchmarks, and we also analyzed the display and camera quality. The in-depth results can be found in our full review.

I initially earned my pocket money by filing paper records and earned my first salary by destroying them: For years I have supported digital transformation processes in both large and small IT projects. With two successfully completed degrees, in Computer Science and Technical Communications, I managed to combine my expertise with my passion for writing. I have written articles for connect, c’t, Mac & I, and the Microsoft and Samsung portals. With Notebookcheck, I sometimes move my workplace outdoors into nature so I can put fitness trackers and smartwatches to the test beyond the confines of my desk.

Even in my youth I was already very enthusiastic about technology, and as a result I started building PCs, optimizing them, and writing programs while I was still in school. When dealing with the inevitable hardware and software problems associated with computers, I was always relentless in my search for the necessary solutions. The compact forms of laptops and smartphones introduced further challenges in this regard. In my reviews for Notebookcheck I try to communicate as objectively as possible how well a device copes with these hurdles.
