Then there is the support for 90Hz refresh rate which enhances the user experience while multitasking and gaming. Though the prices have been slightly increased and if you the Realme 6 Pro it has an IPS LCD panel at this price range whereas the Realme X,XT,X2 have gone for in-display fingerprint scanner and AMOLED display but here with the Realme 6 Pro you get telephoto camera which is mostly found on flagships and there is also the 90Hz refresh rate.
Similarly with the Realme 6 the price seems to be slightly higher as the Realme 5 started at Rs.9999 but with the Realme 6 you get a Mediatek Helio G90T which is a gaming centric chipset and support for 90Hz refresh rate.
