RESERVED

Just ordered one out of boredom during the MCO... Anyone else already has one and care to share a little?

I wonder if the 6 is actually faster than the 6pro..... especially in games....

I'm using realms C3, it was smooth and playing games like mobile legend also buttery smooth. No lag whatsoever. I was surprised the LCD screen look bright n sharp & can beat phone with over 1000 segment. Plus the battery very strong....5000mah. so hard to kill it...

Rich sia, "ordered out of boredom"

I was planning to buy one to try 90Hz screen but stopped after I watched a youtube video about the soc throttling while playing pubg. I think they should have used 10nm or lower in 2020.

no proper cooling system, but powerful GPU.
even today realme is still selling realme 6 for rm799 @ lazada

sale is low I think. wrong time to release

Got shadow by 9s i guest...and now the mi9t rm899 offer also..

Well, I dont think it is a very powerful GPU. It is defintely up to date though. It uses the same Mali G76 GPU that Samsung (S10 & Note 10) and Huawei (P30 and Mate30) used but with less core. It only has 4 cores compared to 10 cores on Kirin 980 (I think its 16 cores with Kirin990) and 12 cores on Exynos 9820 (S10/Note10).

Samsung already moved on to G77 and possibly custom GPU based on RDNA next year. Huawei still using G76 for whatever reason with a much higher GPU cores count.

Attached the video from Redmi Note8 Pro which also uses G90T soc and you'll get a better picture. I also use my phone to play 王者荣耀 which seem not affected by throttling but I cannot commit since it showed apparent throttling with PUBG although I dont play that game.

Yeah, I had the Realme 5 and the 5000mAh battery also couldn't be killed. It's a pity this 6 didn't feature the same 5000mAh battery - would have been good to have more juice with the 90hz refresh rate display.

If not for the MCO I would have bought the S20+ at RM3249, hahaha...

I guess they'll price it at RM799 on special occasions, like Lazada's Birthday Sale previously on 27/3 and today on 4/4. This will generally be a bad year to release any phone, I think.

Yep yep yep

many offers to pick from..

thanks to Lazada too.. in this hard situation

They fight we win....sadly in malaysia its the other way around...kids nowdays tend to become a brand fag and sheep sadly....

So true

Anyone got any info when the realme 6 pro will be released for sale ?

Planning to get 1 unit.

Want to move to 90hz screen but not liking the G90T chipset.

Wow attw own so many phone

Not confirm at this moment

attw buys phones, tries them and sell them. At any one time I only own two phones, maximum

U Mobile users cannot use both of these phones because they don't have 4G band 7.

Same goes with many oppo and vivo phones.

I don't understand why they can't give 4G band 7 to their phones like Xiaomi and Redmi did since U Mobile also one of the biggest telcos in Malaysia.

Can anyone confirm this ?

Cause I have GX38 as 2nd sim for data only.

If it's true then I will skip this realme 6 T_T

Unfortunately it's true. The phone doesn't support LTE Band 7 as per specs in the first post.

Huh then why even bother selling in Malaysia then...


btw it's official Malaysia units right?
Not import set?

Because can still use for Maxis, DiGi and Celcom. Only U Mobile uses Band 7 LTE which is not supported. So I guess they still cover most of the market as U Mobile subscribers are the fewest amongst the four telcos.

Yes, official Malaysia sets.

Next time before buying phone.. needed to see if support your Telco first or not 😁😂

realme Malaysia official website still don't have any information about realme 6 and realme 6 Pro yet. Why?

Phone was launched during the MCO, so maybe they haven't gotten around to updating their website yet

Where is the source for this? Even Realme C3 has band 7 support. Plus, gsmarena doesn't always show the right spec. If you go to Aliexpress, there's always two different model for all Realme phones; China version and global version which support band 7. Ours are global version obviously.

Ya, I got my info from GSMArena so I could be wrong. Anyways, if anyone already has a Realme 6 perhaps can confirm if it works with U Mobile LTE

I see.

Yes, you are right. From the information, realme C3 global version really has 4G band 7.

If the information are accurate, realme 6, realme 6 Pro, realme 5 and realme 5 Pro do not have 4G band 7.

The information on their official website may not accurate too.

Are there any ways to check the phone whether it has 4G band 7 or not before buying it?

Maybe send an email to their customer service?

The Band 7 issue is quite some time already talked about
yes, some phone manufacturers skip Band7
because in china they mostly uses Band40 and Band41
and recently adding into Band 3
Their Telco doeant use Band7 so it is only logical to just focus on Band40/41

but U-Mobile also have gps problem with xiaomi phones in the past
hopefully u-mobile will do something about this
because they are the only one using Band 7..

I don't think so. If they really know, why the specification in their official website still shows the wrong information?

Just the three phone manufacturers from BBK Group, oppo, realme and vivo are skipping the 4G band 7.

Xiaomi, Redmi, HUAWEI and HONOR still have 4G band 7 supported for Malaysia market.

Yes, most of the telcos in China are using 4G TDD LTE, band 38, 40 and 41 instead of 4G FDD LTE, band 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20 and 28, like Malaysia.

In Malaysia, only TM Unifi has 4G TDD LTE and 4G FDD LTE license.

Official Realme Malaysia website lists band 7 for all of their products. Double checked with my dad's R5pro box, it does have it.

Its on the sticker outside the box.

Anyway lets just forget all these fuss, I found the info you guys need on youtube. Taken from a Malaysian youtuber. Yes, Realme 6 has band 7 listed on the box.

Guys. Any occasional stuttering issues with this Realme 6 (G90T) as experienced by the Redmi Note 8 Pro (gsmarena long term review)? Wonder if its because of the G90T SoC or something else. Thanks

Really need to confirm this band 7 kao2.

I seriously interested to the realme 6 pro

Which is why , avoid the G90T.

YouTube battery test also a lot of difference between realme 6 and realme 6 pro.

12nm vs 8nm

Bought the Realme 6 during the Lazada Flash Sale. Can confirm that Malaysian version has Band 7.
So all telco is supported with Realme 6.

Owning the phone for 10 days, my thoughts are
The Best: The Photography
After getting the latest update, the photography is the best in class. The night mode even rivals that of the Mi 9T, even the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and easily beats the Redmi Note 9S out of the water.
As for daylight shots, it is not overly exposed and highly saturated(Finally, realme listens to its customers). But if you still want those highly saturated shots for Instagram, you can turn on Chroma Boost to spice up the photo.
TLDR: Best photos for under RM1000

Pros:
Feels light in hand despite the battery
The charging surprised me(100% in an hour)
Got me through a day with 25%-35% at the end of the day
90Hz display
Playing Brawl Stars and Minecraft PE is a blast on this phone

Cons:
The volume buttons is on the left
No NFC, IR blaster
Shooting videos are unstable compared to the Redmi Note 9S and Galaxy M31.

Verdict: If you want a gaming and camera phone(for photos only) for under RM1000, this is the phone for you.

The Malaysia Realme 6 supports Band 1/3/5/7/8/20/28/38/40/41

Which could be why the Realme 6 only comes in 4GB + 128GB in Malaysia

Just wrote my review if you want a read.

Confirmed have Band 7
Phones comes with Triple Slot(2 Nano, 1 Dedicated MicroSD slot)

Thanks bro, I read it. Can’t wait to receive mine.

How’s the battery life while idle? Any peculiar standby battery drain?

Luckily for you, with the fast charging, I did the unimaginable.
I left my phone uncharged overnight for the first time since 2010. After I had slept 8 hours, the phone's battery drained from 30% to 26%. I kept using it for YouTube until I had finished my breakfast(about 15%), and kept it charging while I was showering. By the time I had showered, the phone was at 77%, surprising to say the most.

Edit: Difference of battery drain between 60Hz and 90Hz is not significant. I tried using 60Hz one day and 90Hz for the other, I ended the day with 35% on the 60Hz and 34% on the 90Hz.
Upon unboxing the phone, the phone presets to 60Hz, so I suggest to switch it to 90Hz, you will notice the difference in responsiveness when swiping through Instagram, WhatsApp and Chrome.

After the MCO, you go to the realme or oppo store and check the box of the realme 6 Pro you want to buy, see whether it has 4G band 7 or not.

If got, buy.
If don't have, no buy.

If I am not mistaken, last time they don't print out what 4G bands the phone has on the box.

Yes, I plan to use it only at 90hz refresh rate

Thanks for the input!

Hahaha, I think this is unnecessary since we have two users here already confirmed the MY set supports Band 7 as per photos of the phone boxes.

Is that a yes?

glad to know about that..

official malaysia set always must support malaysia band too

Sorry, I don't get the relationship between the supported band and RAM+ROM of a phone model. Was it predetermined by the manufacturer during the launching?

Yes to what ?

Yes I'll be buying the Realme 6 PRO when its available and on promo sale.

Since it's confirmed got support band 7 LTE.

My 2020 phone requirements :

- 90hz screen
- quick charging (at least 22.5W charging)
- dual SIM + dedicated sd slot
- at least 4k mAh battery
- below rm 2k price

I don't care much about gaming and camera.

He wants to buy a realme 6 Pro, not realme 6.

The photos are realme 6, not Pro.

Oic, hahaha. I think it should be the same in terms of LTE band support for the 6 and 6 Pro.

No, not same. Model number not same, the 4G modem is different.

realme 6 uses a processor from MediaTek while realme 6 Pro uses Qualcomm Snapdragon processor.

Ya, I know the model number and processor aren't the same, but my point is by all accounts, the 6 Pro is superior in specs to the 6 so I will be very surprised if there are certain bands supported by the 6 that won't be supported by the 6 Pro.

You have the right point.

The YouTube video link below at time 2.06 got show its rmx2061 which is the realme 6 pro . ( From Google search)

You can see band 7 printed on the box.

https://youtu.be/3tCxKav18tk

I mean, as to why there's only one storage option 4GB RAM in Malaysia for the Realme 6. Because the Indian versions have 6GB and 8GB RAM options but no Band 7 support.

Yes to my original question on whether or not this Realme 6 experiencing the same occasional stutter as the RN8Pro. I'm asking this because both of them are running on the same SoC.

I can't answer your question as I don't own the phone.

Maybe ASoulNamedLeo can share does this happen as he owns a unit for about 2 weeks already.

Lazada hasn't budge on my 4/4 order yet. Status still remains as processing. If it doesn't get delivered this week or before the MCO is lifted, I will cancel the order

Based on reviews by gsmarena, the non pro version seems to trump the pro version when it comes to battery life. This is something i do not expect considering 12nm vs 8nm manufacturing process.

Damn i should have gone for Realme 6 instead of RN9S as the main reason for the decision was the battery capacity.

Same here bro. Would just cancel the order.

Ya bro, the reason I bought the Realme 6 was to try : -

1. The Mediatek Processor (I've never owned a phone with Mediatek before)
2. Realme UI (My last Realme 5 was running ColorOS)
3. The 90hz Display

Otherwise, I'd probably try the RN9S for RM 699

Yup. Defeats the purpose of having a new toy to play with during the MCO period.

Realme 6 trumps N9s in almost every department.

Sadly even camera xiaomi couldn't fight.

i respect your opinion
but foe me i think the note9s wins in screen size (6.67" vs 6.5"), processor (8nm vs 12nm), infrared port (very useful for me), battery capacity (5020 vs 4300), and the selfie camera placement
all but the last are facts from sheets, and the last is my own opinion

but the 90hz refresh rate is good, i guess
waiting for games developers to starts enabling 90/120hz in their games, then mesti lagi syiokk

I think the 0.17" difference wouldn't matter (that's not what she said ), and yea most reviews say that on paper the Snapdragon will win in terms of productivity but gaming will lose outright.

IR Port - this is user dependent, nice to have, not essential

Battery capacity yes, but charging much 2x slower - so, give and take depends on user again.

I've never actually used a 60/90/120/144hz screen so ... haha

using the redmi k30 with 120hz screen, for me on my eyes it is slightly faster
but if u go do it side by side baru boleh nampak beza
using it by itself saja u takkan perasan punya 90hz tu smooth sgt hehe

but it is good to see realme giving a good fight as alternative.. people have options now

Actually I'd rather pick a bigger battery and a SD chip but I am currently already using a Redmi Note 7 for work, so doesn't make sense to carry two Xiaomi phones around - Besides, I'm not that big of a Mi fan, hahaha...

Actually agree.

I would lean towards a SD chip over MediaTek, always.

But the other hardware wins for the Realme 6 makes it hard for the N9S to make a strong case for itself.

cannot say this, macam syok sendiri.
these company sells and get profits, for now i think these Note9s sales is a winning strategy~
what matters is sales, more people buying, that makes the case

Exactly bro. Unless if the MCO got extended.

Thank you for tagging him to the conversation. Hope he could share some insight.

I heard that some courier company would not perform delivery in red zone. Not sure if it's true though.

yes. it's true..
it's viral over socmed

GSMArena has just dropped their review of the Realme 6 Pro here.

An excerpt from the Performance test section: -

"The Realme 6 Pro doesn't demonstrate any significant advantage over the Realme 6 in terms of performance. Having said that, the Pro posted consistent results in benchmarks run after run and barely warmed up in the process."

So it's confirmed that the SD will run cooler than the Mediatek.

1. Does it have stutter problems? Yes.
2. How frequent are the stutters? I would say 3 times a week. But the stutter do sour the 90Hz experience a bit. Because when I'm blazing through my feed, the stutter feels like I'm going back to 60Hz.
3. Does it overheat? Surprisingly the processor doesn't overheat during gaming, it overheats when I video call for 2 hours with my colleague or taking slo-mo videos and full 64MP photos with the camera.

Same goes with SAMSUNG Exynos.

Yup, but for now MediaTek has upped their game with their G series processors. Can't say the same for Samsung's Exynos.

My area is a red zone. Can i actually cancel my order? Btw, the thing about shoppe is that you can only cancel if the seller agree to it. Any thoughts?

As long as the red zone is not under Enhanced Movement Control Order I think they will still be able to deliver. I'm in a red zone too but have been receiving deliveries so far without problems.

And yes, you can cancel your order, no issues. You bought from Shopee or Lazada?

Finally, some movement on my order. Parcel packed and arrived at logistic facility. Hopefully still can get by Friday..

I bought it from Shopee. The thing about cancelling with Shopee is that you need the seller to agree to your cancelation application. Any thought on this?

Still waiting for mine. Ordering from Xiaomi global is kinda pain in the backside. Never dealing with Xiaomi global before. Never had any issue with Xiaomi Malaysia before.

Oh, you bought a Xiaomi... sorry, I thought it was a Realme since this is the Realme thread. Anyways, you can check with Shopee on their cancellation policy, I wasn't aware that a cancellation needs buyer's agreement. That's not really protecting the buyers!

Bro, you got your Realme 6 yet?

No, not yet. Probably tomorrow - hopefully!

It's may bad for not specifically say that my reply was regarding the delivery and cancelation. And yes, it took me by surprise that the seller need to agree to my cancellation request.
