daylight
The Realme GT 6T produces sharper photos than its counterpart in daylight. The photos also look attractive due to brighter results compared to the POCO F6. However, the dynamic range is weak on the Realme smartphone, and photos seem overexposed, especially in areas where the light is falling directly. The POCO F6 seems to do a better job in this regard, providing subtle details around shadowy areas. The colour calibration is not perfect on any device, but it looks closer to reality on the POCO smartphone.
the winner: tie
Ultrawide
Both smartphones have an 8MP auxiliary camera for ultrawide images with a similar field of view (FoV). While the colour profiles are consistent, there is a noticeable colour shift compared to their primary cameras. The POCO F6 delivers landscape shots with a better dynamic range, and colours, though slightly oversaturated, are more vibrant than the Realme GT 6T.
Picture
The Realme GT 6T delivers more social media-ready photos. The handset saturates colours more, making them look visually appealing, but at the cost of blowing out shadows and altering the appearance of the scene. In contrast, the POCO F6 captures portraits with more accurate skin tones, better facial detailing, and good dynamic range. For these factors, we are leaning towards the POCO smartphone for portraits.
the winner: Poco F6
Selfie
the winner: Realme GT 6T
Low Light
When it comes to sheer appeal, one can lean towards the Realme GT 6T. However, its colours tend to fade, especially bright colours, which is not an issue with the POCO F6. The handset captures almost true-to-life photos with sharp text and less noise than its counterpart.
the winner: tie
night mode
The POCO F6 and Realme GT 6T maintain similar consistency in low light with their respective Night modes, which offer longer exposures to capture more light in low-light environments. This significantly reduces noise levels. While the POCO F6 produces sharper images, it doesn't have the vibrant colours of the Realme GT 6T, making the latter's photos look more appealing.
the winner: tie
Decision
The POCO F6 and Realme GT 6T camera comparison ends here. Both the smartphones perform equally well. However, there are a few key points:
- Although the Realme GT 6T lacks in dynamic range and colour accuracy, the handset produces visually appealing images that appear quite sharp in daylight.
- In contrast, the POCO F6 outputs more detailed images with respectable dynamic range across lighting conditions. Its colours are also nearly accurate.
So choosing one of the two depends on your choice. If you are fond of photography, then Realme GT 6T can be a better option for you. If you are fond of photography, then POCO F6 can be the right choice for you.
