A Smartphone Value Challenger Emerges...

Alright, so we got some fresh smartphones in the house

These are the latest from Realme. I have the 6 and the 6 Pro

and you've probably already noticed that there's some extras on the table

That's because Realme has actually sponsored a giveaway. So go follow me on Twitter

I'll put out a tweet very shortly. You can have a chance to win either a Realme 6 or 6 Pro

And then willy-doo will actually get your contact details and ship it out to you

So a chance to win one of these guys and in the case of the real me 6

You've got a device that comes in under $200 USD and then on the 6 Pro you have a device under

250 this is going to be your snapdragon variant. We're also talking about a 90 Hertz display at that value price point

So it's interesting whether or not this device is available in your specific market

because what it means is progression towards better value for money and better specifications for your cash

Regardless of the market that you're in. Okay, so let's get started. Well, let's get started with this pro model right here

So this one is an 8 gig 128. It's got the Snapdragon

720G processor a 90 Hertz smooth display I'm not sure if this is the first time that there's been a 90 Hertz display sub $200 or around $200

It might very well be the first time in display dual selfie camera 30 watt flash charge

4300 miliamp hour battery 64 megapixel quad camera And this one is gonna have 20x hybrid zoom with some optical at the early part

Another thing real me has been known for is these kind of glass

Effects on the back with the different polishing and so on you can get these glass patterns first thing in a package here

we have a case to get you started. It's like a smoked clear color. It always

surprised me how the budget models, the value for money models, are the most

likely to give you the extra case. This is the device. I'm gonna put it down for a

second. Also inside the package we have a USB cable to charge it up and you've

also got your 30 watt flash charge inside the pack. Last up there's a little

sim card tool in there. So I'm not sure which color we've actually got here. Ah, it's like a

dark blue sort of reflective. You see that little S pattern in there? Let me just remove this piece

You see, that's what they're kind of famous for. It's actually kind of cool. Being such a dark blue

actually almost appears black around the outside of the frame, but it is a really, really deep blue

One, two, three, four camera units. And if you look closely over here at the reflection

you can actually see an almost sparkle pattern inside of the glass treatment as well Now another interesting thing about this device is the location of the fingerprint scanner It actually where your thumb goes right over here

One thing that's nice about this thumb fingerprint is the fact that it has a click to it

And there's also two settings as I understand. So if you found in the past that thumb fingerprint scanners

might have been too sensitive for you, you can set this to be less sensitive

and require a harder press. So that's within the settings. Of course, there's gonna be advantages and drawbacks

The advantage is that that's right where your hand lands when you're holding the device, obviously in this location

If you had it on the front, maybe in display, you can unlock the device just while it's on the table

say with your index finger. That's not something that I do, but people are always telling me

hey, that's one of the benefits of the in display. That's true. Also, there's a cool factor with the in display

But then again, you're kind of nitpicking at this point if you're asking for a feature like that

given the price point. Now, the other thing you've probably noticed On the front of the device is the punch hole camera setup

So on the Pro model, you're gonna get dual front facing selfie options

Whereas on the regular Realme 6 non-Pro, it's only going to be a single front facing camera

So that's another difference. Coming back to that idea that the camera department

is the reason you might choose the Pro model over the 6, whether it's the rear camera or the front camera

All right, now the first thing I wanna do is kind of peek into the settings here because for me, the standout feature at this price point

is gonna be that 90 Hertz display. Ah, all right, so here it is

You can set it up in three different ways. You can have it on auto select

It'll toggle between 60 Hertz and 90 Hertz, depending on the app

You can set it to 60 Hertz permanently in order to prioritize battery life over refresh rate

or you can have it at 90 Hertz constantly, which is what I'm gonna do

Look, I've been using high refresh rate phones for a while now. It's really hard to go back once you've had the experience of the sort of snappy flavor that comes with that increased refresh

And what that gives you is this kind of twitchy nature to it

All right, now let's go ahead and get a feel for these cameras real quick

I'm going to place this remote. So let's kick it off with the ultra wide one

The 1X. 2X. I mean, you could read the font on the remote control

You can see the text on each of the buttons. Here is your standard focal range

and here is your ultra wide. So you're getting four perspectives, and this is what you come to expect, obviously

with a multiple camera setup. Now, one thing I'm noticing in here is that the color balance shifts on the ultra wide

This, of course, is on the default setting. I could just jump into expert mode so it does have a pro mode and as you can see I'm able to

adjust my white balance accordingly pro mode looks like a better move in general I seeing a lot more detail here hang on let me show you this let me show you this all right in my opinion i think you going to want

to use pro mode ideally but i guess that kind of makes sense you're going to store a bigger file

size so it is good to know that you have this pro mode built in you can see i tweaked the white

balance as well to match the cameras in here what about that selfie camera i'm already in natural

Supposedly, although I'm looking a little prettier than natural. Hold up. Oh, yeah, there we go

That's really me. You guys see all those lines in the face and whatnot

And we're gonna go zoom in a little for the beard hair test

They're all there each and every one now supposedly there's also a macro mode on here

Do you select it? Oh ultra macro? Okay, let's try this out. Do I have something very small? Hold on

ultra macro I've always been a fan of macro photography when they bake it in or just in general

I've had macro lenses on cameras dating back to when I got started as an enthusiast with cameras

You can see the texture of the table. The word VOOC, which is one of my favorite words in the English language, even though it's not VOOC

Super VOOC. It's wonderful. Audio text. We can hang out as we're doing right now

It's kind of amazing. so you probably caught the title of this video of this live broadcast so it is a mono speaker setup

well he's been in the news he's usually in the news he has now decided and as i've explained in

the past the benefit of jamming it down in the corner you can see here you're watching a relatively

dark frame and if this were in the middle you would notice it more than if it's down in the

corner most people that are making video content for you to watch whether it's on youtube netflix

or anything for that matter. They're not gonna put some critical key component

Benefit there is it's slightly less distracting. Drawback is, of course, that when you take a selfie

you have to adjust for the fact that it's in the corner and not central or when you're video conferencing

I just realized, speaking of that hole punch, I forgot that there's two front-facing cameras on here

The selfie that I took at first was a 1X. Oh, quite a wide one

Check this out. Hold up. Look at this. that is quite wide

So this is, I mean you could get multiple people into the frame, because I'm more likely to take a selfie

when there's a group of people together, family members, something like this. And it's like, hey everybody get in the frame

and someone has to take the photo, but you don't want, you can't, you don't want to be, they don't want you to be out of the photo

So now you got a situation where you could conceivably fit one, two, three, four, five, maybe six people

Let's go ahead and try out this side fingerprint scanner. Now of course there's a click to it as well

So here your setting for what type of touch is necessary Which type of touch you like Do you like a light touch or a firm touch Ooh it quick

It's a pretty quick unlock. It's a foreign experience to me because of how little

how few times I've actually used a side fingerprint scanner. I mean, your thumb just lands there

It's really not bad. Now let me go ahead and try the firm touch out

Oh, is that, it's basically a click. I would probably go for that. Personally, it's in your pocket

You don't want to unlock it. How's it, how you gonna unlock it when it's in your pocket? You might inadvertently have your hand there

You just pick it up off the table, put it in your pocket. So I also just noticed this thing has a headphone jack

right beside the USB type C port. And I don't have my knife. I don't have a knife

It's called Unbox Therapy. How you not gonna have a knife? Quick spec refresh on this one

Single selfie camera on the front. 90 Hertz display. This one is probably the cheapest phone out there

with a 90 hertz display. The USD equivalent on this particular device

I think is around $177. Still got the 30 watt flash charge

still got the 4,300 milliamp hour battery. You still have the quad camera set up on the back

but you're not gonna have as much zoom. And of course, the chip is different

This is a Helio processor instead of a Snapdragon. I'm curious about the color

Oh, it's a light one. I'm glad we can do a comparison. It's like a lightning bolt on the back

Ooh, that's like a, That's like an icicle. Pops up on the word Realme, and then as you flip around, it goes to the other side

From like a purplish violet up through a sky blue. So much going on

This is the trend. You know how it goes. You hold this thing up in the right light

Then send a reflection back. People are going to notice you. That's the idea

The displays on these two devices look pretty comparable to me. looks like the pro model is a tiny bit tiny bit bigger display performance wise i know the snap

dragon is going to be most attractive to people driving the 90 hertz display i presume either of

these chips will be able to do it as you can see here boom boom boom this of course is not

incredibly resource intensive but there have been processors in the past that have had trouble

with the high refresh rate screens that are out there. You have the new Realme 6 Pro on the left

and you have the Realme 6 on the right. Crazy how far we've come in smartphones

What we can get now at a budget cost, including things like quad camera

including things like a 90 Hertz display. Oh, and don't forget about the giveaway as well
