Daylight
For these daylight shots, we put to test the 50MP OIS primary camera with an f/1.6 aperture lens on the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra and Realme GT 6. Both handsets capture nearly identical images, with a default resolution of 12.5MP after pixel binning.
While the level of detail is comparable, the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra produces more dramatic shots with cooler tones, making the images look more social media-ready and offering superior dynamic range. On the other hand, the Realme GT 6 favours warmer tones, delivering brighter images but with some shadow details crushed. The choice between the two depends on your preference. However, since Motorola Edge 50 Ultra is handling the shadows better, we are giving this round to it.
Winner: Motorola Edge 50 Ultra
Ultrawide
The Motorola Edge 50 Ultra boasts a superior 50MP ultra-wide lens compared to the 8MP lens on the Realme GT 6, giving it a significant advantage in detail capture. Both devices produce similar colours as their respective primary cameras.
However, the Motorola smartphone excels in delivering sharper, more detailed ultra-wide shots, whereas the Realme GT 6’s images tend to show noticeable graininess and edge distortion. Both devices, however, produce similar colours. Moreover, the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra’s 50MP ultra-wide camera supports autofocus, enabling it to double as a macro lens for close-up shots. The Realme smartphone cannot shoot macros.
Winner: Motorola Edge 50 Ultra
2x telephoto Portrait
The Motorola Edge 50 Ultra and Realme GT 6 both default to telephoto lenses for portraits. While the Motorola smartphone relies on a 64MP snapper with 3x optical zoom, the Realme GT 6 boast a 50MP shooter with 2x optical zoom. For the comparison, the above portraits were captured with 2x optical zoom on both devices.
The Realme GT 6 applies a more aggressive bokeh effect at the same focal point as the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra, leading to slight edge distortion around the subject. In contrast, the Motorola smartphone more accurately separates the foreground from the background, offering skin tones that are more true to life. The Realme GT 6, however, delivers sharper images with enhanced skin tones that have a slightly reddish tint.
Winner: Tie
Selfie
The Motorola Edge 50 Ultra outperforms its rival with a 50MP selfie camera, compared to the 32MP camera on the Realme GT 6. The Motorola captures images with excellent facial detail and near-accurate skin tones, although it tends to overexpose the background. In contrast, the Realme GT 6 achieves better overall exposure, but its facial and other details fall short. Both phones offer similar skin tones.
Winner: Motorola Edge 50 Ultra
Lowlight (night mode)
The Motorola Edge 50 Ultra automatically activates night mode for low-light photography, unlike the Realme GT 6, where this feature can be toggled off. While this may compromise the natural look of the scene, it enhances image quality by allowing more light in to improve details and effectively reduce noise levels.
The Realme GT 6 lowlight image, captured using the primary camera, with night mode is noticeably sharper than the Motorola offering. However, it overemphasises reds, resulting in colour bleeding on some signboards. The Motorola Edge 50 Ultra appears to be doing a better job in that regard.
Winner: Tie
Verdict
The Motorola Edge 50 Ultra’s cameras could be one of the reasons why it is priced at Rs 59,999, despite packing the same chipset as the Realme GT 6, which comes with a sticker price of Rs 42,999. The Realme smartphone manages to match its counterpart in lowlight and portrait modes. However, the Edge 50 Ultra’s superior handling of shadows, better ultra-wide shots, and more detailed selfies give it a clear edge.
