In the competitive mid-range smartphone segment, there were two big fishes last week, one from OnePlus and the other from Realme: the Nord CE 4 and GT 6T, respectively. The duo is equipped with features that give them a competitive edge in terms of pricing and make them very attractive to anyone who wants high-performance devices without having to spend an absolute fortune on them.
This comparison is going to break down the features, strengths, and standout differences between OnePlus Nord CE 4 and Realme GT 6T to help you decide which one would shake things up in your favor.
The OnePlus Nord CE 4, in general, gets much more of that clean design underpinning all OnePlus devices. This includes a shiny plastic back with a triple-camera setup and a funky AMOLED display with a hole-punch selfie camera. The Realme GT 6T features a far more premium build and modern feel to it, thanks to its glass back and unique design. This comes with a versatile camera module and an AMOLeD display with better refresh rates for smoother visuals.
Performance: Both these phones pack quite a punch. The OnePlus Nord CE 5G comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G chip, making it reliable to deliver performance across routine tasks and gaming. It further features 8GB of RAM and 128GB internal storage space to go on with multitasking seamlessly and accommodate storage demands.
On the contrary, the Realme GT 6T is fitted with the more powerful Snapdragon 870 processor, a higher performing and power-efficient processor than the Snapdragon 750G. It also does so with higher RAM and storage configuration options, making it the better choice for those looking to optimize productivity tasks such as gaming and multimedia editing.
Both come with AMOLED displays, but there lie some minor differences in specifications. On the OnePlus Nord CE 4, one will get a 6.43-inch display with Full HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate for smooth visuals with lively colors. It does support HDR10+ content, making this display quite suitable for multimedia consumption.
The Realme GT 6T has a slightly larger display at 6.55 inches but offers an increased refresh rate of 120Hz to achieve a more fluid viewability. It also supports HDR10+ and offers higher peak brightness levels for improved sunlight readability.
Many smartphone owners have come to hold camera performance very dear, and the OnePlus Nord CE 4 and Realme GT 6T manage to please in that respect. Triple cameras work in a versatile way on the Nord CE 4 – there's a 64MP main sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP depth sensor. Together, it can produce highly detailed images with great color vividness across various lighting conditions. The camera software is further enhanced with not-so-bad camera software from OnePlus.
On the other hand, the Realme GT 6T does better with a quad-camera system that includes a 64MP primary sensor, 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, 2MP macro lens, and a 2MP depth sensor. Besides, it offers a bit more in use of the dedicated macro and depth sensors by allowing detailed close-up photography and achieving a professional bokeh effect.
Another area of concern for smartphone users is the battery life, more so for heavy users. OnePlus Nord CE 5G ships with a 4500mAh battery to support you throughout the day with a single charge. It also supports the company's Warp Charge 30T fast charging technology that can juice it up from 0 to 70 per cent in just 30 minutes.
Realme GT 6T features a slightly larger 4,500mAh battery and supports 65W SuperDart fast charging. This allows recharging to pass so quickly, and its downtime during charging is just about significantly less.
Both phones run on a custom UI based on Android 12. While the OnePlus Nord CE 4 uses the OxygenOS, "known for its clean interface and fast performance", which offers near-stock Android with many useful customization options and timed updates, the Realme GT 6T hosts Realme UI 3.0. It offers a feature-rich experience of customizations and enhancements to give a larger scope of productivity and entertainment to the users.
