• Realme 6i: milk tea, a good battery and a quad camera
• Realme 6 and Realme 6 Pro: Expectedly Cool, Suddenly Cheap

All three devices are confident average.class. Processors knocking out two hundred to almost three hundred thousand parrots in AnTuTu, a considerable amount of memory, good batteries, multi-megapixel cameras.

Realme 6i is the youngest. A clear flaw is the low resolution screen. But the design is very curious. The first (and so far the only) smartphone on the “budget gaming” chipset MediaTek Helio G80. $ 14,990 ($ 204) at the start of sales for the only available version 4 + 128 GB. They are threatening that starting from the second of June the price will rise to ₽16,990 ($ 231).

Realme 6 is the middle brother. Purely on characteristics, there’s nothing to complain about at all. They have already set a screen of normal resolution, and even with a frequency of 90 Hz. The chipset is more powerful than the 6i, also “gaming”, also MediaTek - Helio G90T. Memory, cameras, battery - everywhere, it seems, a complete order.

The price, of course, is higher. ₽17990 ($ 245) for version 4 + 128 GB (from June - ₽19990 ($ 272)) and ₽19990 ($ 272) for version 8 + 128 GB (grow to ₽21990 ($ 299)).

Realme 6 pro is the oldest, coolest. The chipset is also gaming, but not “some MediaTek there”, but Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G.
The total resolution of six cameras reached 110 MP. The smartphone acquired a telephoto and a dual front-facing camera (and, accordingly, an enlarged hole in the screen).

Only version 8 + 128 GB will be brought to Russia. $ 21,990 ($ 299) at the start of sales with a planned subsequent price increase to $ 24,990 ($ 340).

Two words about NFC. The official press release contains the phrase: “especially for the Russian market, all smartphones in the line come with an NFC-module.” It may seem that NFC is our Russian exclusive. In fact, this is not so, and with NFC an easy mess even within Europe alone. In Russia, Ukraine, Spain it is. But in Belarus and, for example, in the UK it is not. So do not buy the British Realme, do not.

All three devices have already appeared on sitesonline stores. You will find links on the pages of smartphones (Realme 6i, Realme 6, Realme 6 pro). Nearby there are also links to a decent number of reviews - both regular text and video.
