Review of Realme XT
starting price of Realme Xt in india is Rs.15999/-(4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage)

Realme is adding a new ‘expert' member to its Smartphone family, called the Realme XT. The main highlight of the Realme XT its 64-megapixel sensor, which is a big step up from the 48-megapixel sensors we’ve been seeing of late. The name ‘XT' would lead you to believe that this phone is a successor or at least part of the Realme X line, but it's more of a souped-up version of the Realme 5 Pro. The Realme XT is positioned between the Realme 5 Pro and Realme X, thereby plugging in whatever price gaps exist between those two models.
As for competition, there isn't any at the moment, if you consider the phone's main selling point. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro, which is another 64-megapixel camera phone, is yet to launch in India. This gives the Realme XT free reign in its price segment and a ripe opportunity for Realme to make the most of it, until the true competition arrives. So, is that 64-megapixel camera everything its hyped out to be?

The 6.4-inch Super AMOLED full-HD+ display on the Realme XT also has Gorilla Glass 5 for protection with an in-display fingerprint sensor underneath, which is quick at authentication and we didn't face any misreads during our usage. The phone has a dewdrop notch on the top, which houses the 16-megapixel selfie camera. This is also used for face unlock, which, just like previous offerings, works very well in the daytime and at night. However, since there's no infrared camera, authentication will fail if you have sunglasses on.
The buttons on the Realme XT are ergonomically placed and we have a triple slot for two nano-SIM cards and a microSD card on the left side. The USB Type-C port and a headphone jack are at the bottom, which also houses a Dolby Atoms capable loud speaker.
The camera layout on the back is identical to the Realme 5₹ 9,999 series, except for the main sensor, which has been swapped for the new 64-megapixel one. There's also some ‘AI Camera' text with symbols of four lenses engraved near the LED flash. The camera module protrudes outwards quite a bit, but thankfully, you get a case in the box which helps even out the bump. Also in the box is a Type-C cable, a 20W VOOC 3.0 fast charger, SIM eject tool and manuals.
Overall, the Realme XT feels premium, is comfortable to carry around and isn't very heavy at 183g.

Realme XT specifications and software

The Realme XT is powered by the Snapdragon 712 SoC and is available in three RAM and storage configurations — 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage (Rs. 15,999); 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage (Rs. 16,999); and 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage (Rs. 18,999). The flash storage used is UFS 2.1. The Realme XT also has dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5, dual 4G VoLTE, GPS, FM radio and the usual suite of sensors.
The phone runs on ColorOS 6.0.1, based on Android 9 Pie with the July 2019 security patch. As for the Android experience itself, nothing has changed since we reviewed the Realme 5 (Review) and Realme 5 Pro (Review). The new version of the skin gets a cleaner look and you still get a host of pre-installed apps. Most of the third-party ones like Facebook, UC Browser, and others can be uninstalled.
The display menu also has something called 'OSIE Vision Effect', which from the instructions seems to be a visual enhancer when viewing things like photos

Realme XT performance and battery life

 

The Realme XT has a beefy 4,000mAh battery - pretty much the same capacity as the Realme 5 Pro's and slightly larger than Realme X's. The XT supports VOOC 3.0 fast charging and its box contains both the 20W charger and the proprietary USB-C cable needed for VOOC to work. This pair refills about 50% of the Realme XT's depleted battery in 30 mins, while a full charge takes 80 to 90 mins.
The Realme XT aced our battery lite test - it clocked north of 16 hours of video playback and 13 hours of browsing the web over Wi-Fi. We also measured more than a day of 3G voice calls. And adding the efficient standby performance we got an excellent overall Endurance rating of 100 hours.

Speaker

The Realme XT has a single bottom-firing speaker. It scored an Excellent mark in our loudness test, though unpleasant high-pitched tones are common and probably responsible for the really loud Ringing Phone tone and hence the Excellent mark. In fact, when playing music from YouTube, the speaker sounds (subjectively) quieter than suggested by the score.
Indeed, Realme has always tuned its speakers for mid-tones and the XT seems no different - when playing music you'll hear the vocals crystal clear, but the music itself will be a little bit on the quieter side.

Performance and benchmarks

The Realme XT runs on the Snapdragon 712 chipset - essentially the Realme X's Snapdragon 710 with minor tweaks such as 0.1GHz higher potential clock speed on the high-performance cores. Those would be two Cortex-A75-based Kryo 360 cores, ticking at up to 2.3GHz. The other six cores are Cortex-A55 derivatives, clocked at up to 1.7GHz. There's been no upgrade to the GPU for the 710-to-712 transition, and it's still the Adreno 616
Realme promises the Snapdragon 712 chipset 10% boost over the S710-powered Realme 3 Pro and X. The company is keen to point out that this chipset has the same ISP as the Snapdragon 845 and the AI engine is twice as fast as the one on the 710.
The Realme 5 XT is available in three memory configurations - 4/64GB, 6/64GB and 8/128GB. It is the company's third phone to use UFS 2.1 storage. That's much faster than eMMC and speeds up the load times for apps and games, plus it helps if you are moving large files around. If you need more storage, the dedicated microSD slot can add up to 256GB more.
We should mention that Realme XT limits a bit the CPU performance when not running on High Performance Mode. You must opt for this mode from the Battery Settings if you want to unlock the full potential of the chipset, otherwise you will lose about 10% of the overall performance. Naturally, we ran the CPU and AnTuTu benchmarks in Performance mode.
First, we ran GeekBench and indeed it showed the promised minor jump from the Realme 3 Pro and X numbers, while the XT scored on par with the Mi 9 SE - a phone with the same Snapdragon 712 chip.

Realme XT camera

The Realme XT has the same rear camera arrangement as the Realme 5 Pro and Realme 5 - top to bottom they go ultra wide snapper, then the primary one, the depth camera follows, and last one is the macro shooter.
The main camera uses the first ever 64MP Quad Bayer sensor by Samsung - ISOCELL Bright GW1. It's a very large 1/1.72" sensor with 0.8µm pixels and Quad Bayer filter, and it sits behind f/1.8 26mm lens. It's meant to shoot in binned 16MP mode, but it also supports the so-called demosaic algorithm that allows it to add a bit of extra detail if you opt for the 64MP native resolution.
The 119-degree ultra wide-angle camera is relatively new for Realme too even if not a first. It has an 8MP sensor (1.12µm pixels) with an f/2.2 aperture. There is automatic distortion correction applied when necessary.
Realme calls the 2MP unit the "Portrait camera", rather than just a depth sensor. It certainly helps with the bokeh rendering, but allegedly, it's also used to enhance the contrast of the final photo.
Then there's the 2MP macro camera (the pixels on the sensor are quite large, 1.75µm). Its lens can focus from as close as 4cm away, so you can get really close to your subjects. Note that the macro and the ultra wide cameras can't record video.
The camera app offers AI scene recognition - you'll see a small icon when a scene is successfully recognized, and the software will tweak all settings accordingly. Food, snow, pets, sunsets, grass, among other scenes, are detected mostly correctly.
The app has three major modes - Photo, Portrait and Video - and you can swipe between those. The Chroma Boost toggle is on the opposite end of the viewfinder, accompanied by the ultra wide switch, HDR and flash settings. Chroma Boost is an advanced HDR mode, which stacks a couple of images and offers even further improvements in the dynamic range and occasionally - better color saturation.
There is also a hamburger menu with a few more shooting modes - 64MP Ultra Picture, Nightscape, Ultra macro, Expert (manual settings), Pano, Time-lapse, and Slow-mo. There is also a zoom toggle switching between 1X, 2X, and 5X, but it does only digital zooming - there is no telephoto lens on the Realme XT.
Oddly, 2X is also available on the ultra wide camera, too, but if you expected it would switch to the regular snapper - you'd be wrong. It just crops and up scales from the ultra wide shot, which is rather pointless

Scientific Reason for the Purity of Ganga

Introduction of the holy river Ganga The Ganges (Ganga) River goes through northern India and is hallowed to the individuals who follow Hinduism. In excess of 400,000,000 individuals in India live in the region that takes care of the stream, known as the Ganges River Basin. A stream bowl is an area that is depleted by a waterway, for example, the Ganges, and any of its tributaries. This implies surface water and water in the bowl region stream into the close by waterways. The Ganges River begins in the Himalaya Mountains at Gomukh, the end of the Gongotri Glacier. At the point when the ice of this icy mass melts, it frames the away from of the Bhagirathi River. As the Bhagirathi River streams down the Himalayas, it joins the Alaknanda River, formally framing the Ganges River. The Ganges River Basin is some of the time considered piece of a bigger stream bowl comprising of the close by Brahmaputra and Meghna waterways. Known as the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) River Basi
