Realme Note 60

The Realme Note 60 has a standard slab form factor — it does not fold and lacks a rugged build — but it does carry an IP64 rating, offering reliable protection against dust ingress and water splashes. The handset measures 167.3 mm in height and 76.7 mm in width, with a thickness of 7.8 mm that keeps it reasonably slim. It weighs 187 g, sitting in a fairly typical range for a device of its size, and occupies a total volume of approximately 100.09 cm³.

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, delivering a reasonably clear image for its size class. The panel runs at a 90Hz refresh rate, contributing to smoother scrolling and general navigation. It does not include branded damage-resistant glass, and there is no support for HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision, nor does it offer an Always-On Display mode or a secondary screen.

The Realme Note 60 is driven by the Unisoc T612 chipset, manufactured on a 12 nm process and configured as an octa-core processor running at 2 x 1.8 GHz and 6 x 1.8 GHz across 8 threads, with big.LITTLE technology managing workload distribution. It is paired with 8GB of DDR4 RAM at 1866 MHz — with a maximum supported memory amount of 8GB and a peak bandwidth of 12.8 GB/s — alongside 256GB of eMMC 5.1 internal storage. Graphics are handled by the integrated Mali G57 MP1 GPU, which features 2 execution units, 32 shading units, and a turbo clock of 614.4 MHz, with support for DirectX 11 and OpenCL 2. The SoC also includes integrated LTE, ARM TrustZone security, and 64-bit support, while the cache hierarchy comprises 128 KB of L1, 2 MB of L2, and 1 MB of L3 cache. The device achieves an AnTuTu benchmark score of approximately 250,000.

The Realme Note 60 sports a single 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 optical image stabilization and laser autofocus are absent. Manual controls cover exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, while burst mode, HDR, panorama, timelapse, and slow-motion video recording round out the feature set — raw capture and manual shutter speed are not supported. The main camera records video at 1080p and 30 fps, without HDR10 or Dolby Vision recording, and is accompanied by a single LED flash with no dual-tone or RGB capability. On the front, a 5 MP single-lens camera handles selfies, positioned on the display bezel rather than under the screen, and it has no dedicated flash. Neither the rear nor the front system offers 3D capture, 360° panorama shooting, or optical zoom.

The Realme Note 60 runs on Android 14 and covers a broad range of privacy and usability features. On the privacy side, it offers clipboard warnings, location privacy options, camera and microphone access controls, and the ability to block app tracking, though Mail Privacy Protection and cross-site tracking blocking are not included. The software supports theme customization and dynamic theming, dark mode, an extra dim mode, customizable notifications, a media picker, widgets, split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, sharing intents, full-page screenshots, Live Text, and a child lock. It also accommodates multiple user accounts, on-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, voice commands, and device position tracking. Games can be played while downloading, and the system is free and open source. Features not present include Wi-Fi password sharing, battery health check, focus modes, app offloading, Quick Start, and the ability to function as a PC; direct OS updates from the vendor are likewise not supported.

The Realme Note 60 is equipped with a 5000 mAh rechargeable, non-removable battery that supports fast charging at 10W, and a charger is included in the box. A battery level indicator is present, making it straightforward to monitor remaining charge at a glance. Wireless charging is not supported.

The Realme Note 60 includes a 3.5 mm headphone jack, allowing wired audio accessories to be used without an adapter. However, the audio setup is fairly basic overall — the device has a single speaker rather than a stereo configuration, and there is no support for any high-quality Bluetooth audio codec, including aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, or LDAC. A built-in radio is also absent.

The Realme Note 60 supports dual SIM cards and connects via Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), alongside Bluetooth 5.0, with cellular connectivity handled through an integrated module — though 5G is not supported. Wired connectivity is provided through a USB Type-C port running USB 2.0, and an external memory slot is available for storage expansion. Download speeds reach up to 300 MBits/s with upload capped at 100 MBits/s. For location, the device includes GPS and Galileo support, and an accelerometer is present among the sensors, while a gyroscope, compass, and barometer are all absent. A fingerprint scanner handles biometric authentication, as 3D facial recognition and an iris scanner are not included. NFC, HDMI output, infrared sensor, DLNA certification, ANT+, heart rate monitor, satellite SOS, crash detection, motion tracking, optical tracking, and a built-in projector are likewise not featured, and no stylus is included.

The Realme Note 60 includes a video light, which can be used to illuminate subjects during video recording. The display is flat rather than curved, uses neither sapphire glass nor an e-paper panel.
