Display Comparison
Both devices feature displays suitable for media consumption, but detailed specifications are limited for the GT Neo 3. The GT Neo 3 boasts a measured peak brightness of 796 nits, which is respectable, but the ROG Phone 6 likely surpasses this. The ROG Phone 6’s display technology, while not specified, is expected to include a high refresh rate (likely 165Hz) and potentially LTPO for adaptive refresh rate control, enhancing battery life during less demanding tasks. The 'Infinite' contrast ratio claim on the GT Neo 3 is a nominal specification common to AMOLED panels, but real-world contrast performance will depend on panel calibration.
Camera Comparison
Context data for both devices is limited to 'Photo / Video' capabilities. Given the ROG Phone 6’s gaming focus, its camera system is likely optimized for quick snapshots and social media sharing rather than professional-grade photography. The Realme GT Neo 3, positioned as a more all-around flagship, may offer a more versatile camera experience, but without sensor size or aperture details, a definitive comparison is impossible. The presence of a dedicated image signal processor (ISP) within the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 could provide an edge in image processing speed and quality.
Performance
The core difference lies in the chipsets. The Asus ROG Phone 6 Diablo Immortal Edition utilizes the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 (4nm), featuring a Cortex-X2 prime core clocked at 3.19 GHz. This architecture prioritizes peak performance, crucial for demanding games. Conversely, the Realme GT Neo 3 is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8100 (5nm). While the Dimensity 8100’s Cortex-A78 cores are clocked higher (2.85 GHz vs 2.75 GHz on the ROG Phone’s A710s), the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1’s superior GPU and more efficient 4nm process generally translate to better sustained performance and thermal management. The ROG Phone 6’s larger thermal solution further reinforces this advantage, mitigating throttling during prolonged gaming.
Battery Life
The Realme GT Neo 3’s 80W wired charging is a standout feature, achieving a full charge in just 32 minutes. The Asus ROG Phone 6 Diablo Immortal Edition supports 65W charging with PD3.0 and QC5 compatibility, but this is slower. While battery capacity isn’t specified for either device, the faster charging speed of the GT Neo 3 effectively mitigates any potential capacity disadvantage. The ROG Phone 6 also offers 10W reverse wired charging, a convenience feature absent on the GT Neo 3.
Buying Guide
Buy the Realme GT Neo 3 if you need a phone that can go from 0 to 100% in under 35 minutes and delivers flagship-level performance for everyday tasks and casual gaming without breaking the bank. Buy the Asus ROG Phone 6 Diablo Immortal Edition if you prioritize sustained peak performance during extended gaming sessions, demand specialized gaming features like AirTriggers, and are willing to pay a premium for the ultimate mobile gaming experience.
