realme XT smartphone in review: Good low-light performance

A lot of performance for little money. Based on the realme 5 Pro, the XT makes a decent leap forward, especially in terms of camera and storage configuration. The price remains low at less than 300 Euros (~$334), and the software is also quite respectable. The only obstacle is aggressive energy-saving management.
realme XT

The Chinese manufacturer realme is very successful with its smartphones, especially in Asia and on the Indian market in particular. With well-configured devices and low prices, the company wants to be successful in this area with exclusive sales via eBay Germany.

Case - realme XT with Gorilla Glass 5

The front and back sides of the realme XT are made of glass, which is protected from cracks by the use of Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The frame is composed of metal, and the "Pearl White" and "Pearl Blue" options are available as colors. The workmanship is of very high quality, and there are no rough gaps or untidy processing. The physical controls are also firmly in place. On the back, however, the quad camera setup protrudes quite far beyond the surface. Size and weight are roughly the same as with comparable smartphones.

Connectivity - Android smartphone offers NFC

The realme XT has a memory card reader, which also retains the dual SIM function. Both nano SIM slots support LTE, but the VoLTE and VoWLAN functions were not available to us in the menu. Furthermore, apps can't be moved to the memory card, nor can the latter be reformatted to internal storage.

There's also a USB Type-C port with the USB 2.0 standard and a 3.5 mm audio jack. The manufacturer has forgone a notification LED.

Software - Android Pie and ColorOS 6

Users of the realme XT are looking at an Android Pie system with the ColorOS 6 interface and security patches at the level of October 5, 2019. This user interface offers modified icons and a restructured settings menu, as well as its own assistance and operating functions. Newcomers and Android connoisseurs, however, can quickly find their way around. The realme also includes preinstalled third-party apps such as Opera and Aqua Mail. These can be deactivated within the menu but not removed.

Telephone and call quality - Clear connection optimized for speech

The realme XT's telephone app offers numerous features that users will also know from other smartphones. The Android phone demonstrated a good volume and clearly transmitted speech during calls.

Cameras - realme XT shows good low-light performance

Front-facing camera
Front-facing camera

Realme has equipped the XT with a quad camera on the back. It features a 64 MP sensor, an 8 MP wide-angle sensor and two 2 MP sensors for depth information and macro shots. Moreover, there is a 16 MP selfie camera with an f/2.0 aperture on the front. This allows sharp portrait shots with many details and good colors. In the settings menu, the image quality can be influenced with a color filter and beautification functions as well as with the activation or deactivation of HDR.

The main camera provides photos with good image quality. The panoramic shot shows some details and good colors. At higher zoom levels, however, structures appear a little soft and object edges are somewhat blurred. In close range, our test subject shows many details and strong colors. The bokeh effect also comes well into its own. Under low-light conditions, the realme XT still gets a lot out of the photo. Objects in the image remain visible, and even colors are recognizable. When zooming in, however, coarse-grained edges appear. In addition to the color and filter options, an "expert" mode is also available in the camera menu. This allows the adjustment of the ISO value and shutter speed as well as of white balance, focus and brightness.

The video mode also allows recordings in wide-angle format and offers a similar quality to our test photographs. Moving images appear sharp and fluid. Lighter shaking is also compensated for by an image stabilizer. Color filters can be applied to the recording here too. A professional mode, on the other hand, is not available. The image quality can be selected from the 720p, 1080p and 4K options. The frame rate can be set to either 30 or 60 fps.

Accessories and warranty - Case included in the box

The realme XT comes with a USB power adapter with the corresponding USB Type-C cable, a SIM needle and a silicone protective case. The manufacturer also offers common smartphone accessories such as power banks and headsets.

The manufacturer grants buyers of the XT a warranty period of 24 months.

Input devices and handling - Slow fingerprint scanner

Users of the XT can use Google's "GBoard" for text input. The touchscreen reacts immediately to inputs, and with its smooth surface, it also allows for longer drag-and-drop movements.

To unlock, users can use the fingerprint scanner built into the screen. It showed some delays in our test. Facial recognition, on the other hand, worked quickly and reliably. Since the realme XT doesn't provide user account control, you can only save one face.

Display - Over 6 inches with Super AMOLED

Subpixel grid
Subpixel grid

The screen in the realme XT consists of a 6.4-inch AMOLED panel and offers a resolution of 2340x1080 pixels. The average brightness is 414 cd/m², and the brightness distribution is 97%. With the sensor activated, we measure a maximum brightness of 418 cd/m². The lowest adjustable value is 1.98 cd/m². In the APL50 test, the realme XT reaches a maximum of 512 cd/m².

As is typical for OLEDs, the realme XT exhibits PWM at a frequency of 242.7 Hz. This can be unpleasant for users with sensitive eyes in the long run.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM detected 242.7 Hz ≤ 99 % brightness setting

The display backlight flickers at 242.7 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 99 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.

The frequency of 242.7 Hz is relatively low, so sensitive users will likely notice flickering and experience eyestrain at the stated brightness setting and below.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18100 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

With OLEDs, the non-measurable contrast ratio and a black value of 0 cd/m² are also typical. In addition, the CalMAN analysis shows that colors are displayed with a slightly too high blue content in the "standard" mode. Users can change the color temperature to "warm," creating a more balanced image.

The realme XT has 64 GB of UFS 2.1 storage. This shows good results when reading data in the storage benchmark, but it falls short of our expectations when writing and is more at the level of UFS 2.0 storage. With our Toshiba Exceria Pro M501 reference card, the memory card reader reaches values that are at the same level as the other smartphones in our test field.

Speakers

The speakers in the realme XT offer comparatively high volume and a sound spectrum with pronounced higher tones. Therefore, the Android smartphone is well suited for the reproduction of speech. However, external speakers or headphones should be preferred for media content. These can be connected, among other ways, via the 3.5 mm audio jack. This holds corresponding plugs firmly in place and doesn't affect the sound quality negatively.

In review: realme XT. Test device provided by: realme Germany
In review: realme XT. Test device provided by: realme Germany

For a price of less than 300 Euros (~$334), the configuration of the realme XT is quite impressive. A strong camera, the good system performance, and the attractive design leave little to be desired. The processing is of very high quality, and users only need to familiarize themselves with the structure of ColorOS 6.

The realme XT offers a really good configuration for its low price. Users only need to occupy themselves a little bit more with the software.

Only the energy management was somewhat negative in our testing. Users would be better off deactivating the power-saving function for each app individually within the menu in this case. Simply turning off the intelligent energy management was not enough to prevent the automatic termination of apps in our test model. Apart from this trick, the realme XT is an all-round recommendable phone.
