Realme Note 60 (128GB / 4GB RAM)

The Realme Note 60 has a non-folding, standard-form-factor build measuring 167.3 mm tall, 76.7 mm wide, and 7.8 mm thick, with a total volume of roughly 100.09 cm³ and a weight of 187 g. It carries an IP64 rating, meaning it offers solid protection against dust ingress and resistance to water splashes, though it does not qualify as a rugged device in the traditional sense.

The Realme Note 60 features a 6.74″ IPS LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 720 x 1600 px and a pixel density of 260 ppi, paired with a 90Hz refresh rate for somewhat smoother scrolling and animation. The panel does not support HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision, and there is no Always-On Display functionality or secondary screen. It also lacks branded damage-resistant glass coverage.

The Realme Note 60 is driven by the Unisoc T612 chipset, an octa-core processor built on a 12 nm process that uses big.LITTLE technology with all eight threads running at 1.8 GHz across two cluster configurations, and it supports 64-bit computing along with ARM TrustZone security. Graphics are handled by the integrated Mali G57 MP1 GPU, which features 2 execution units, 32 shading units, a turbo clock of 614.4 MHz, and compatibility with DirectX 11 and OpenCL 2. The device ships with 4 GB of DDR4 RAM running at 1866 MHz and a maximum memory bandwidth of 12.8 GB/s, with the platform supporting up to 8 GB total, alongside 128 GB of eMMC 5.1 internal storage. Cache is arranged across three levels — 128 KB L1, 2 MB L2, and 1 MB L3 — and the SoC includes integrated LTE, yielding an AnTuTu benchmark score of approximately 250,000.

The Realme Note 60 sports a single-lens rear camera with a 32 MP CMOS sensor and an f/1.8 aperture, backed by phase-detection autofocus, touch autofocus, and continuous autofocus during video recording, though it lacks laser autofocus, optical image stabilization, and a back-illuminated sensor. Video capture tops out at 1080p at 30 fps, with slow-motion recording supported, while HDR10 and Dolby Vision recording are not available. The manual controls on offer include exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, but manual shutter speed is absent, and the camera cannot shoot in RAW format. Additional shooting modes include burst, panorama, and timelapse, though 360-degree panorama and 3D capture are not supported. A single LED flash is present on the rear — with no dual-tone or RGB variant — while the 5 MP front camera is a single-lens unit with no dedicated flash and is not positioned under the display.

The Realme Note 60 runs Android 14, a free and open-source platform that supports multiple user accounts, device tracking, offline voice recognition, voice commands, and on-device machine learning. On the privacy front, it offers location privacy options, camera and microphone access controls, clipboard warnings, and app tracking blocking, though cross-site tracking blocking and Mail Privacy Protection are not included. The interface supports theme customization, dynamic theming, dark mode, and an extra dim mode, while productivity is aided by split-screen multitasking, picture-in-picture, full-page screenshots, a media picker, customizable notifications, notification permission controls, sharing intents, widgets, and the ability to play games while they download. The system also includes Live Text, a child lock, and phone position tracking, but does not offer focus modes, app offloading, Wi-Fi password sharing, a battery health check, Quick Start, or the ability to function as a PC. Direct OS updates from the vendor are not provided.

The Realme Note 60 is equipped with a 5000 mAh rechargeable battery that supports fast charging at 10W, and a charger is included in the box. A battery level indicator is present, making it easy to keep track of remaining charge. The battery is not removable, and wireless charging is not supported.

The Realme Note 60 includes a 3.5 mm headphone jack, offering wired audio connectivity, but it does not feature stereo speakers, meaning audio output is limited to a single channel. On the wireless audio side, none of the advanced Bluetooth codecs are supported — there is no aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, or LDAC — and the device also lacks a built-in radio tuner.

The Realme Note 60 operates on 4G LTE only, with no 5G support, and accommodates two SIM cards alongside an external memory slot for additional storage. Wireless connectivity covers Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) as well as Bluetooth 5.0, though NFC is absent. The USB Type-C port runs on USB 2.0, and there is no HDMI output. Cellular download speeds reach up to 300 Mbits/s and upload up to 100 Mbits/s. For location, the device supports GPS and Galileo but does not include a compass or barometer. On the sensor side, an accelerometer is present, while a gyroscope, heart rate monitor, infrared sensor, barometer, and ANT+ support are all absent. Security is handled by a fingerprint scanner, with no 3D facial recognition or iris scanner on board. The device does not include crash detection, emergency SOS via satellite, DLNA certification, motion or optical tracking, a stylus, or a built-in projector.

The Realme Note 60 includes a video light, which can assist with illumination during video recording. The display is flat rather than curved, and the screen uses neither sapphire glass nor e-paper technology.
