Which phone has the better display?
On the listed specifications, the realme 16x 5G has the larger screen (6.81 inches versus 6.72 inches) and the higher maximum refresh rate (144Hz versus 120Hz). Both are HD+ LCDs with a listed resolution of 1570 × 720. A higher refresh-rate ceiling can make supported motion appear smoother, but these specifications alone do not establish which screen looks better in everyday use.
#1 Best Overall
- 6.75 inches, IPS LCD, 720 x 1570 pixels
- 256GB Storage, 6GB RAM, microSDXC
- Android 15, ColorOS 15, Mediatek Dimensity 6300 (6 nm), Octa-core (2x2.4 GHz Cortex-A76 & 6x2.0 GHz Cortex-A55)
- Rear: 50 MP, f/1.8, (wide), PDAF, Auxiliary lens, Front: 8 MP, f/2.0, (wide)
Battery and charging: a shared specification advantage
Both manufacturers list a 7,000mAh typical-capacity battery and charging up to 45W. Their rated capacities differ slightly—6,830mAh for OPPO and 6,820mAh for realme—but the listed figures do not establish which phone lasts longer or charges faster in practice. No independent head-to-head battery or charging test is available here.
Camera specifications and what they do not tell you
Each phone lists a 50MP main rear camera and an 8MP front camera. OPPO also lists a 2MP monochrome rear camera, while the realme specifications page lists a single 50MP rear camera. Megapixel counts and camera count do not, by themselves, establish photo quality; the specifications do not provide a verified head-to-head assessment of image results.
Rank #2
- 6.57 inches, AMOLED, 1B colors, 1080 x 2372 pixels
- 256GB Storage, 8GB RAM, microSDXC
- Android 15, ColorOS 15, Mediatek Dimensity 6300 (6 nm), Octa-core (2x2.4 GHz Cortex-A76 & 6x2.0 GHz Cortex-A55)
- Rear: 50 MP, f/1.8, (wide), PDAF, Auxiliary lens, Front: 16 MP, f/2.4, (wide)
Price difference in India
The realme India store displayed ₹28,999 for the 4GB+128GB realme 16x 5G when checked for this comparison. It also listed 6GB+128GB and 6GB+256GB choices, but the cited store snapshot does not establish their prices here. This is a listing observed at a point in time, not a guaranteed or permanent price. Check the realme India store.
A precise OPPO-versus-realme price difference cannot be calculated from the available observations. The comparison page from 91mobiles has shown differing realme prices, including ₹22,999 in one indexed version and a higher price in another; it does not settle whether timing, variant, seller or offers account for the discrepancy. No matched current OPPO retail price or verified pair of launch prices is established. See the 91mobiles comparison.
Rank #3
- 6.57 inches, AMOLED, 1B colors, 1080 x 2372 pixels
- 256GB Storage, 8GB RAM, microSDXC
- Android 15, ColorOS 15, Mediatek Dimensity 6300 (6 nm), Octa-core (2x2.4 GHz Cortex-A76 & 6x2.0 GHz Cortex-A55)
- Rear: 50 MP, f/1.8, (wide), PDAF, Auxiliary lens, Front: 16 MP, f/2.4, (wide)
For a fair comparison, check both phones on the same day and compare the same RAM and storage tier, seller type and offer basis. Treat any quoted amount as a dated retailer listing, not as a fixed price or a launch-price comparison.

Which one should you choose?
- Consider the realme 16x 5G if a larger display and higher listed refresh-rate ceiling are priorities, and its current price for your chosen memory option is competitive.
- Consider the OPPO A6 5G if OPPO’s advertised IP66/IP68/IP69 ratings are important to you. Check the manufacturer’s terms for what those ratings cover and any usage limits.
- Compare software preference using the listed ColorOS 15.0 and realme UI 7.0 versions. The specifications cited here do not establish comparative update duration or support terms.
- Do not choose on battery capacity, charging wattage or processor alone: the manufacturers list the same typical battery capacity, maximum charging wattage and chipset for both phones.
