Qualcomm released the third-generation Snapdragon 7+ mobile platform, bringing flagship technology and performance to this year’s mid-to-high-end smartphones. Currently, the first batch of mobile phones equipped with the third-generation Snapdragon 7+ mobile platform has been released one after another. On April 11, realme launched the new Realme GT Neo6 SE mobile phone, which is Realme’s e-sports flagship for young people. product.
Realme GT Neo6 SE is known as the new generation flagship shooter, which translates to the ability to challenge flagship products. At present, IGeekPhone has the Realme GT Neo6 SE. Now let us see through the evaluation what kind of experience it can bring.
Design and Display
First of all, let’s look at the appearance design. The packaging box of Realme GT Neo6 SE is black with the eye-catching white words “GT Neo6 SE” on the front. The entire packaging design is quite eye-catching.
You can see the phone body when you open the package. This time, the Realme GT Neo6 SE adopts a titanium sky mirror design, and the back of the phone is the industry’s first nano mirror back cover. The color scheme obtained by IGeekPhone is Cangye Hacker, which is green. However, this green is not pure green, but a fantasy and deep green with a silvery texture. It is easy to think of various fans in the game. Fantasy wild forest scene.
The back is made of AG glass with a mist texture as a whole. The AG particles will have a flowing texture depending on the angle of light exposure, which looks very high-end.
The plane where the lens module is located is made of nano-level high-end mirror coating technology, which is smooth and bright. It forms a good complementary splicing design with the back as a whole, making the overall layering richer. The two cameras and flash are arranged in a triangle, and there is a high-end stainless steel lens ring around the camera. The hardness is increased by 20%, which not only improves the overall sophistication but also better protects the lens.
The front of the phone is a 6.78-inch AMOLED screen with extremely narrow borders on all sides and a screen-to-body ratio of 94.2%. The visual impact is still strong when the screen is lit.
The middle frame of the Cangye hacker version of the Realme GT Neo6 SE is also green, which can be well integrated with the back of the fuselage. The surface of the middle frame has a polished texture, and has a rounded curved transition with the front and rear panels of the phone, giving it a soft feel.
The top of the fuselage is the microphone and infrared sensor, the right side is the volume button and the power button, the left side has no buttons, and the bottom is the microphone, USB interface and speaker openings.
In terms of size, the measurements of the Realme GT Neo6 SE are 162mm × 75.1mm × 8.65mm. The thickness of 8.65mm and the weight of 191g make this phone lighter to hold. Generally speaking, the Realme GT Neo6 SE has a novel design and outstanding appearance. The texture of the whole machine is closer to that of a high-end flagship mobile phone, and the workmanship is also relatively solid and refined. The overall quality is still relatively high.
Performance experience
Realme GT Neo6 SE is the first mobile phone to be equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon’s third-generation Snapdragon 7+ mobile platform. The third-generation Snapdragon 7+ uses the same 4nm process technology and core architecture as the third-generation Snapdragon 8. It includes 1 2.8GHz Cortex-X4 super core + 4 2.6GHz Cortex-A720 large cores + 3 1.9GHz Cortex-A520 small cores. Compared with the previous generation, CPU performance is improved by 15%, GPU performance is improved by 45%, and energy efficiency is improved. 5%, and introduced terminal-side AI capabilities to the Snapdragon 7 series.
During the test, IGeekPhone first conducted a wave of benchmark tests on Realme GT Neo6 SE. In GT mode, “GeekBench 5” scored 1393 points in single-core and 4096 points in multi-core. However, “GeekBench 6” can get single-core points. With a score of 1896 and a multi-core score of 5125, it can be said that the performance strength of the third-generation Snapdragon 7+ platform has been fully utilized.
Then there are the AnTuTu benchmark scores. The Realme GT Neo6 SE scored a total of 1,510,241 points, of which the CPU scored 392,650 points and the GPU scored 502,291 points. At the same time, We also used AnTuTu to conduct a storage performance test. The Realme GT Neo6 SE equipped with a 512GB UFS 4.0 flash memory chip scored 186081 points, including a sequential read speed of 4012.7 MB/s and a sequential write speed of 3663.7 MB/s. s.
Next is the actual game test. Realme GT Neo6 SE has made many optimization technologies for the game experience, such as GT Mode 5.0 and Geek Performance Panel 2.0 functions. In addition, it also has a game-specific memory Pro, allowing games to be played in the dedicated memory space. Run, let the game flash forward and back, and the startup speed is increased by 20%. For example, when the editor opens “Honor of Kings”, the opening is very fast, and the “Timi” sound broadcast is accelerated.
Now that “Honor of Kings” has been opened, the editor will first test this game. Turn on the GT mode on the phone, adjust the game quality to the highest level, and engage in a human-computer battle for about 15 minutes.
The average frame rate of the measured game is 119.9 fps. The whole process is running at full frame, and the frame rate curve is almost a straight line.
At the end of the game, We measured the maximum temperature of the Realme GT Neo6 SE at about 30.7°C, which is not hot and consumes very little power.
Then the editor tested a popular mobile game “Nishuihan”. During the game, the frame rate was prioritized and the image quality option was set to “Standard”. After entering the game, the game was run in Bianjing City. The test lasted 15 minutes.
By detecting the frame rate through the software, you can see that the average frame rate of the game can reach 59.56 fps. “Backwater Cold” has relatively high performance requirements. Realme GT Neo6 SE does a good job at reaching this level. During the actual experience, it also It’s smooth and silky, with only a slight frame drop when switching between certain scenes, which is almost negligible.
Looking at the core scheduling of the third-generation Snapdragon 7+, the performance output of Cortex-X4 is quite positive throughout, basically fluctuating between 1.5GHz-2.5GHz, and the A720 large core and A520 small core can also maintain stable and high performance. Frequent performance output can bring a smooth and smooth gaming experience.
The temperature of the Realme GT Neo6 SE. The highest temperature is about 35.0℃, which is a warm level. It can be seen that this phone has relatively good performance tuning and power consumption control for the third-generation Snapdragon 7+. Skillful.
Finally, We also tested “Genshin Impact”. During the test, the game picture quality was set to extremely high, with the frame rate capped at 60fps.
The game lasts for 30 minutes. The first 20 minutes are spent running maps in Xumi City, and the last 10 minutes are in the wilderness outside Xumi City, where you encounter and fight monsters.
It can be seen that the average frame rate of Realme GT Neo6 SE when running “Genshin Impact” can reach 59.53fps, which is similar to “Backwater Cold” just now. The overall frame rate curve is also very flat. The two conspicuous frame drops in the middle are during gameplay. The loading interface for switching indoor and outdoor scenes can be ignored.
Looking at core scheduling, the Cortex-X4 ultra-large core and A720 basically maintain relatively strong performance output, and the X4 ultra-large core can reach the full frequency of 2.8GHz from time to time.
Looking at the body temperature, the maximum temperature is about 40.3°C. For “Genshin Impact”, this temperature is not high. Although the heat can be clearly felt in the hand, it does not cause discomfort.
Generally speaking, the overall performance level of Realme GT Neo6 SE is very impressive with the support of the third-generation Snapdragon 7+ chip. It does have a performance close to that of a high-end flagship, and it does not perform well in the face of mainstream large-scale mobile games currently on the market. Not afraid.
Other functional tests
One of the highlights of Realme GT Neo6 SE is its industry-leading 6000nit unparalleled screen. This screen uses flagship 8T LTPO technology and a super-standard 17-channel Mask process to bring flagship display effects. Realme cooperated with BOE to increase the brightness of this unparalleled screen to the industry limit and achieve the highest peak brightness in the industry. 6000nit, and it is also equipped with a high-brightness lifespan protection algorithm, with a display lifespan more than twice that of the industry norm. In addition, it also has a global maximum brightness of 1600nit, a manual maximum brightness of 1000nit, and a customizable minimum brightness.
We can clearly feel when using Realme GT Neo6 SE that this screen is really bright. For example, the system settings provide a function to increase the brightness range, which can be adjusted to a higher brightness when manually adjusting the screen brightness.
After turning on this option, the editor turned the system brightness to full, and then displayed a pure white picture on the full screen. At this time, the maximum brightness of the screen was measured to reach 894nit, and for a moment it could rise to more than 900nit. This brightness is indeed quite outstanding.
On this basis, Realme GT Neo6 SE supports the same Pro-XDR display as the flagship model, which can achieve ultra-light and shadow effects of up to 1600nit. When you take a photo with HDR effect, when you view the photo in the system album, there will be an adjustment button for the Pro-XDR display. If you turn on the Pro-XDR display, you can see that the highlights in the photo are indeed much brighter than when this option is turned off. , very close to the brightness visual perception observed by real human eyes. This display effect can make the pictures presented in HDR photos more lifelike.
Taking an HDR photo I took as an example, the editor can measure that the brightness of the local highlight part can reach 1427nit, which is quite outstanding.
After the screen brightness is increased, many friends may consider eye protection. Realme GT Neo6 SE has also thought of this. It debuted the Greenfield AI eye protection function, which is the industry’s first active eye protection solution and the first introduction of active eye protection. The eye fatigue detection function automatically detects and determines the user’s fatigue status through the front camera AI, and dynamically adjusts various eye protection functions such as ambient color adaptation, sleep mode, and eye protection color temperature. Compared with traditional eye protection that passively adjusts parameters, it can actively detect the user’s fatigue level and dynamically adjust appropriate eye protection functions step by step. Specifically, you can turn on AI eye protection in “Display and Brightness” – “Eye Protection and Sleep” in the system settings. After turning it on, the screen does feel softer and more comfortable, instead of just turning the color temperature to yellow.
In addition, Realme GT Neo6 SE also launched the industry’s first AI gaming eye protection function, which also provides vision protection for advanced gamers through active fatigue detection and dual intelligent monitoring of continuous game duration, as well as customized eye protection strategies. Specifically, it can be turned on in the game assistant.
Another notable selling point of Realme GT Neo6 SE is AI. It realizes deep AI empowerment in all scenarios. In addition to bringing multiple AIGC capabilities in terms of performance, battery life, etc., it also has many AIGC-backed features, such as true My GT Neo6 SE is equipped with the same AIGC elimination function as the flagship model. When you take a photo and find elements in the picture that affect the composition, including passers-by, clutter, etc., you can circle them with one click, and then the system will intelligently identify and eliminate them immediately, and it can also intelligently fill in the eliminated areas. Takes a photo that I took as an example to eliminate the passerby in the photo. You can see that the passerby can be identified and eliminated with just a tap of your finger. The filled photo also looks very Natural, there are almost no traces of erasure as if it was never photographed in the first place.
In addition to AIGC elimination, Realme GT Neo6 SE also supports AI call summary, which can record the entire call content and then generate a summary through AIGC capabilities. During the test, We read an article aloud during the call. As expected, Realme GT Neo6 SE recorded the content of the article and generated a summary in the system’s own notes. The summary content was still very accurate, with some minor errors. Errors, but overall very smooth. In addition, Realme GT Neo6 SE will also analyze summaries and generate suggestions for to-do items, which is especially useful for people working in business offices.
Cameras
In terms of imaging, Realme GT Neo6 SE is equipped with a Sony IMX882 50-megapixel OIS main camera, and a Sony IMX355 8-megapixel wide-angle lens. It is equipped with a flagship super light and shadow engine, which can effectively improve the purity of the picture and restore true light and shadow.
Specifically, we look at the sample photos. First of all, in a well-lit environment during the day, the photos taken by the Realme GT Neo6 SE are bright and clear, with accurate exposure. The picture style tends to be cool and the colors are not very saturated, which is closer to reality.
In terms of details, if you zoom in to see the text on the banner on the glass door of the building, it is not easy to identify, but it is not blurry. The texture of the wall tiles is acceptable and the resolution is good.
If you use the 50-megapixel high-pixel mode to shoot, there is no obvious difference in the overall imaging style.
After enlarging the photo, you can see that the texture of the picture is clearer and the details are richer, but the text on the glass door is still not easy to distinguish.
As can be seen again in the photo below, the color reproduction of the Realme GT Neo6 SE is relatively accurate. It is relatively more realistic and will not be oversaturated. The same is true for the green grass behind, which is close to what the human eye can see.
Realme GT Neo6 SE copes well with high-light ratio scenes. The brightness in the dark light of the garage is sufficient and there is no obvious noise. The highlights outside the garage are not deliberately suppressed, but they are not overexposed, and the brightness is relatively sufficient. , it is still closer to the picture seen by the human eye, more real and natural.
In night scenes, Realme GT Neo6 SE supports SuperOIS super optical anti-shake technology. The overall brightness and purity of the captured pictures are satisfactory. In terms of dynamic range, it does not blindly pursue the suppression of highlights. Look at the high neon lights. In bright areas, there is slight overexposure and overflow, but it does not affect the overall look and feel.
Battery
In terms of charging, Realme GT Neo6 SE is equipped with a large 5500mAh battery and comes standard with a 100W light-speed second charging charger. Actual measurement, it took 29 minutes to charge the battery from 0% to 100%, of which 15 minutes can charge it to 64%. , the speed is still very fast.
Next is the battery life. With the support of the large 5500mAh battery and the low power consumption attributes of the 8T LTPO screen, the Realme GT Neo6 SE should theoretically have good battery life performance. We also conducted a test. During the test, the editor set the mobile phone system volume and screen brightness to 50%, turned on the Bluetooth and positioning functions, set the performance release to “balanced mode”, and set the initial power to 100%. The entire test was conducted on Wi-Fi. Conducted in Fi environment.
First, play “Peace Elite” at the highest image quality for 30 minutes, with 100% remaining power and 0% power consumption.
Then I watched a 45-minute 1080P high frame rate movie on the “Bilibili” App. The remaining power was 96% and the power consumption was 4%.
Then I used “Douyin” to watch short videos for 15 minutes. The remaining power was 94% and the power consumption was 2%.
Then I browse Weibo for another 20 minutes. The remaining power is 91% and the power consumption is 3%.
Finally, I played “we” for 10 minutes, and the battery remaining was 91%, and the power consumption was 0%.
In a total test of about 120 minutes, the Realme GT Neo6 SE consumed a total of 9% of the power, leaving 91% of the power remaining. This battery life level is indeed quite impressive.
Conclusion
From the overall use point of view, the Realme GT Neo6 SE is a mid-to-high-end mobile phone, but its experience in many aspects is comparable to that of a flagship.
Qualcomm’s third-generation Snapdragon 7 + mobile platform + UFS 4.0 storage + LPDDR5x memory brings superior performance, software, and hardware optimization for games, the industry’s first + 6000nit unparalleled screen brings the ultimate visual appearance, excellent charging and battery life, and The special system functions supported by AI constitute the core experience of Realme GT Neo6 SE.
