The mid-range smartphone market is heating up, and two contenders vying for your attention are the OnePlus Nord 4 and the Realme GT 6T. Both phones pack a punch in terms of features and performance, but which one deserves your hard-earned cash? Let’s dive into the details and see how these two stack up against each other.
Design and Build
Both phones sport sleek designs with glass fronts and aluminum frames, but the Nord 4’s flat edges give it a slightly more modern look. The GT 6T, however, feels a bit more substantial in the hand due to its slightly thicker build and curved back. In terms of durability, both phones are IP65 rated, so they can handle a bit of dust and water.

The GT 6T’s 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display also offers a 120Hz refresh rate, but it goes even further with a peak brightness of 6000 nits, making it one of the brightest displays on the market. It’s tough to choose a winner here, as both displays are top-notch.

Under the hood, both phones are powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chipset, which delivers impressive performance for everyday tasks and even some demanding games. The Nord 4 comes with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, while the GT 6T maxes out at 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. Both phones offer plenty of power for most users, but the Nord 4’s extra RAM might give it a slight edge in multitasking.

Both phones take great photos in good lighting, but the Nord 4’s OIS (optical image stabilization) gives it an advantage in low-light conditions and when shooting video.
