Design and Display
Undoubtedly, the Realme 10T smartphone comes with a similar design layout as its sibling Realme 10 and 10 Pro. Besides this, the boxy build is also identical to this phone, while the glossy pattern can be noticed on the back panel with the Realme brand at the corner. Not to forget, you won’t find a camera bump in the new generation phones, which gives them an artistic appearance.
Furthermore, the smartphone makers are offers this phone in two splendid color options, which include Electric Black and Dash Blue. Both of them comes with distinctive feature and grant subtle vibes while holding the phone. The overall built quality of the Realme 10T is mediocre, but still, it’s good to see that the company added a side-mounted biometric scanner. Although, the phone does lack an optical scanner so you won’t be able to use Face ID features.
Anyway, let’s talk about the beautiful front display. The device equips a 6.6 inches standard IPS LCD panel that will render apt colors and contrast with FHD resolution support. This combination is pretty good for mid-range phones, while it does gives 400 nits brightness that is considerably good. However, the phone is lacking proper coring gorilla glass protection.
Memory and Internal
Under the hood, the performance end handle properly through the 6nm Mediatek MT6833P Dimensity 810 chipset. Usually, this chipset is used in the average entry-level 5G phones, and the same goes for the Realme 10T smartphone. It may not have advanced specs, but still, the processing power can go up to 2×2.4 GHz cloaking speed. It allows users to enjoy a decent-level gaming session while bringing appropriate visuals through the Mai-G57 MC2 GPU.
It’s possible to play games like Call of Duty and League of Legends without much lag. However, an overheating issue can occur since the device doesn’t have a decent cooling system. Hopefully, you are getting a wide range of customization options with the Android 12 with the Realme UI 3.0 elements. The users can easily manage the interface layout and give a personalized touch by adding preferred wallpapers, widgets, and shortcuts.
Following this, the Realme 10T obtains decent 128GB to 256GB UFS 2.2-based storage options that will ensure you don’t face any problems storing your multimedia data in one place. Aside from this, the users can also choose between the 4GB to 8GB RAM configuration. Yet, the most interesting part of this mid-range phone would be the dedicated secondary storage unit.
Camera
The camera aspect of the Realme 10T smartphone is worth noting as you are getting a triple camera module on the back panel. It offers a decent 50MP primary sensor that will render apt colors and contrast that will make daylight photography appealing. Furthermore, the colors are boosted in the night mode so that the users can obtain low-noise photos.
It results in average video recording with the native camera. Though it’s possible to utilize the camera app for 1080p videos, it’s the basic limits that the phone can’t cross. The same goes for the 8MP selfie lens. It renders somehow decent photos in the daylight. Yet, the same thing doesn’t apply to lowlight photography, while the videography is pretty identical to the main camera setup.
Speaking of the additional sensors, the main camera module equips an 8MP telephoto lens that will enhance the zooming ability to a certain extent, while we were expecting an ultra-wide lens that will improve the dynamic range. Last but not least, the phone also houses a 2MP macro lens that will render apt close-up shots with comparatively fewer details.
Battery and Others
Under the hood, the phone is powered by the Li-Po 5000 mAh battery configuration. Like most smartphones, the users can expect up to 6+ hours of screen time for extreme usage, while the phone can stay active for more than a day and a half with a single charge through the 18W wired charging support. Besides this, the phone will only need 45 minutes to refuel the battery life from flat to 60%.
Moreover, the sound output of this phone is superb and it also provides a headphone jack part, which is quite unusual to see nowadays. Following this, the sensors work pretty well and provide great 5G connectivity. Although, it doesn’t have any NFC features. Speaking of the price tag, the Realme 10T smartphone will cost around $196 (Rs 16,000 in India) approx, which is a pretty good deal for a mid-range phone.

Conclusion
The Realme 10T is one of those smartphones that don’t bring something different from the regular mid-range phone. But still, Realme got a pretty loyal fanbase that loves that mid-ranger. Yet, if we have to recommend this phone, we would suggest you pick another phone because of two reasons. The first one would be the Android 12 software and the second issue would be the standard charging support.
If the company improves those two factors, the phone will become an impressive deal to recommend to you. Still, if you are getting some discount, getting this phone would not be a bad deal. But we suggest you check out alternative options, like Vivo iQOO Z7x in the same price range.
