Like some predecessor models, Realme 6 features a plastic built frame and backside. Its plastic matt finish looks trendy, but in this budget, users would expect a glass-built design. Weighing 191g, this phone will not feel too heavy. Though not very slim (6.38 x 2.94 x 0.35 inch), you can easily grip this gadget with one hand. Its weight balance distribution is praise-worthy.
The shiny backside of Realme 6 is magnificent, but it can easily hold fingerprints unless you apply the provided TPU case. On the rear side, the camera section feels a bit bumpy. This Smartphone has a punch-holed front camera, on the left corner of its front screen. You will find symmetrical bezels on each side featuring a ~84.1% screen-to-body ratio. However, Realme 6 lacks a notification LED.
In this phone, the fingerprint sensor has been cleverly synchronized with the power button. With proper positioning and fast response, this physical sensor has made Realme 6 more user-friendly. This Smartphone carries a 3.5mm earphone jack port. Its bottom-firing loudspeaker performs well. However, the sound quality of the earpiece is a bit loud. Moreover, Realme 6 carries a triple-slot tray for dual SIM and a MicroSD card.

Camera
Though Realme 6 is a budget Smartphone, the manufacturer did not compromise in its camera features. Its primary rear camera is blessed with a 64 MP ISOCELL Bright GW1 sensor built by Samsung.

By default, this lens can take 16MP photos, but by changing the settings you can utilize a full 64MP resolution.
Furthermore, the Chroma Boost feature is a windfall for those people who prefer directly uploading photos on social media without much editing. However, the dynamic range could have been better. Unlike the imposed eye-pleasing color tone delivered by the predecessor models, Realme 6 displays natural color. Realme truly deserves praise for this advancement in the camera section.
