Realme XT Full Review


Realme XT is a Budget premium phone from Realme. The main highlight of the phone is it's price itself. It is priced under 17,000. At this price the phone has a given us a  lot of features. But let's find out whether the phone is actually a great but or not. I am going to divide the review between the pro's and con's.
First let us take a look at the Pro's of the device

PRO'S

1.Design & Build Quality


The phone has a diamension of 158.7×75.2×8.6 mm and weights about 183 gram. It has glass covered to both it's front and back with gorilla glass 5 protection. The phone has a hybrid sim slot with dedicated micro SD card slot. Realme XT has a tear drop notch towards the front. The phone also has a single firing loud speaker and a headphone jack. The audio output through both were great. It has a quad camera to the back and an indisplay fingerprint scanner which is fast and accurate. The phone come's in two colour gradient ( pearl white, pearl blue). Design and build quality wise the phone is close enough to flaghsip.

2.Display

The phone has an 6.4 inch super amoled display. It's great to see an amoled display at this price range. Since it's amoled there is no issues with screen quality or visibility. Infact the display is one of the key selling factors of the phone. It provide a screen to body ratio of 84.3%. Realme XT has a pixel per inch density of 403. 

3.Performance

The phone is Powered by Snapdragon 712 which is a 10 nm chip. It is also paired with a Adreno 616 gpu. The phone does well in all department starting from day to day task to extensive gaming. During my testing the phone didn't lag or had frame drop. When it comes to gaming it can play graphical intensive game at 30 fps in high graphics which is great considering the price.

4.Camera

The phone has a quad camera setup to the back. The main sensor is a 64 MP f/1.8 paired with a 8MP f/2.3 ultrawide lens , 2 MP f/ 2.4 dedicated macro lens and a 2MP f/2.4 Depth sensor. The phone camera perform's well both in day and night condition. It take's some stunning photo with Great dynamic range during day light. The ultrawide camera also perform's decently. When it comes to video recording it can shoot video in 4k @30 fps. The front camera is a 16 MP f/2.0 lens. It also take selfies with great detail's. When it comes to selfies in night it struggles like most other phone's in this segment. It can shoot video at 1080p in 30fps. 

5.Battery

The phone has a 4000 Mah battery which will last for a day with heavy Usage. When it comes to screen on time the phone give a screen on time of 6 hrs roughly. It also has 20 W fast charger bundled inside the box which charges the phone completely in 1hrs. 
Now let us take a look at the Con's of the device.

CON'S

Software


The only department in my opinion the Realme XT lags behind. It runs android 9 out of the box which will be later upgraded to android 10. But the Main problem of the phone is the Custom skin Color Os. Color Os doesn't provide great user interface and has cartoonish icons and due to the over animation it makes the phone slow. But as a compliment the Colour Os also has some great customisation options. 

CONCLUSION

The Realme XT is a great Device. It provide amazing spec at great Value. But it has competition from the Redmi Note 8 pro. If you have money and want a flagship level phone in budget segment then you should consider having a look at the Realme XT.
