Realme 6 Pro

Expert comment: Although Realme 6 is more of a headline-maker than Realme 6 Pro, purely because of incredible value for money, the Pro model is not a minor upgrade by any means. The Realme 6 Pro comes with a 90Hz refresh rate, upgraded cameras over the Realme 6, and a premium design. The handset takes on stiff competition in this range and while the software has shown a massive improvement, the underwhelming low-light camera performance means that the handset doesn't top this list. However, Realme 6 Pro is a really good phone for its price point.
