The Realme GT 6T features a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1.5k. It stands out due to its remarkable peak brightness of 6,000 nits, achievable only in some areas for short durations to prevent burn-in. 

Typically, the display offers a brightness of 1,000 nits, with a high brightness mode (HBM) reaching 1,600 nits, ensuring good visibility in direct sunlight. The screen is an LTPO panel with an adaptive refresh rate ranging from 1Hz to 120Hz, optimizing battery usage.

The Infinix GT 20 Pro, powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8200 Ultimate SoC, excels in Geekbench benchmarks with a singe-core 1,020 result and 3,384 multi-core scores, and AnTuTu benchmark with a 936,985 score. 

It smoothly runs heavy games like BGMI, Call of Duty, and Genshin Impact. BGMI supports extreme+ frame rates, and Call of Duty runs well on high graphics settings.

The Realme GT 6T draws power from a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 SoC (review). It ensures fast load times, smooth multitasking, and the capability to handle intensive mobile games. The Realme GT 6T scored 14,50,949 on AnTuTu and 1,826 (single-core) and 4,544 (multi-core) on Geekbench, though performance throttled by around 40% under intense load.
