Realme GT 7 Pro – Unboxing
Realme GT 7 Pro – Design and Build Quality
Realme GT 7 Pro comes in a striking design form that stands out for its matte metallic finish and glass-like back.
We had the Galaxy Grey colour variant for this review and it has a classic vibe. It looks trendy and stylish.
The camera module is slightly different from our regular camera bumps. The metallic border of the camera module matches the back perfectly.
We also like how the aluminium frame of the phone subtly colour-coordinates. The camera module is also very tastefully designed.
It doesn’t stick out too much and yet makes the back of the phone attractive.
The phone isn’t too heavy even with 222.8g weight, which is a pleasant surprise considering how powerful some of the hardware including the battery is.
It fits perfectly in the palm and we had no issues with one-hand operation.
The flat boxy form of the phone makes it easier to hold.
The phone is also designed to last. It comes with an IP69 rating, which protects the phone against high temperature and high-pressure water.
Overall, we love the subtle design elements of the Realme GT 7 Pro.
There is nothing too fancy and yet it keeps the flagship aesthetic intact. It looks like a flagship device from all aspects.
Realme GT 7 Pro – Display
First of all, the display of Realme GT 7 Pro adds to the overall look of the phone. The 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED 1440p 120Hz refresh rate display of Realme GT 7 Pro is strikingly clear and makes everything on screen sharp.
It is also the first Eco² OLED Plus display co-developed with Samsung.
This flat but slightly curved around-the-edge display is one of the brightest and sharpest displays available in the flagship space.
On paper, Realme claims it offers a typical brightness of 1000 nits and peak of 6500 nits.
We tested the High Brightness Mode with a flashlight directly on the screen it reaches up to 2200 nits when needed.
Thanks to the 120Hz refresh rate along with LTPO tech, swiping and scrolling on Realme GT 7 Pro is super smooth.
The display also provides support for HDR 10+ content and Dolby Vision videos.
Realme GT 7 Pro – Performance
The Realme GT 7 Pro is the first Snapdragon 8 Elite flagship smartphone in India.
This advanced processor enables flagship smartphone experiences with a new 2+6 Oryon CPU and leading Hexagon NPU.
It is built on TSMC 3nm Process, 4.32GHz Prime-core x2 and 3.52GHz Performance-core x.
We tested the phone on multiple benchmarking platforms and it performed significantly better than many other flagship devices out there.
On Antutu Benchmark, it scored close to 3 million while scoring 45% single-core improvement and 45% multi-core improvement on GeekBench 6.
It also scores 44% power saving on the CPU and 40% power saving on the GPU compared with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC.
Here are some benchmark test results –
The Realme GT 7 Pro also provide a host of AI Tech features that the following –
- AI Sketch to Image
- AI Motion Deblur
- AI Gaming Super Resolution
- AI Gaming Super Frame
- Others AI feature
Realme GT 7 Pro – Gaming Performance
There shouldn’t be any doubt that the powerful Realme GT 7 Pro is designed keeping in mind the gamers out there.
The phone’s flagship hardware along with the advanced AI capabilities make it a perfect machine for heavy gamers.
It has AI Gaming Super Resolution & Frame, which helps in achieving game visuals with AI perception that promises a next-level gaming experience with 1.5K resolution and 120fps frame.
Realme claims that this tech combination has the capability to break through the original game’s resolution and frame rate limitations.
The phone also comes with 11480mm² Iceberg VC, which is segment’s largest dual VC system.
This cooling system helps keep things under control during long gaming sessions.
However, we performed some stress tests on the device and we did notice heavy thermal throttling.
Realme GT 7 Pro – Camera
Realme GT 7 Pro packs a triple camera setup that includes a 50MP main lens, a 50MP 3X telephoto lens and an 8MP ultra-wide lens.
The camera performance is at par with what anyone would expect from a phone of this calibre.
In broad daylight with optimum lighting, the phone captures beautiful and vibrant images.
The details are clear with no visible noise in almost all shots we clicked using the GT 7 Pro and processing provides good enhancements without overdoing it like we have seen in some flagships earlier.
As for night photography, the camera processing makes sure enough light reaches the lens. Even in limited lighting, the phone managed to click decently lit images with clarity and almost no noise.
The camera system also has a good dynamic range and colours appear natural with no visible oversaturation.
Here are some camera samples we clicked in different lighting conditions.

Realme GT 7 Pro Night Camera Samples
The main lens of the camera system supports 8K/24fps video recording while the telephoto lens supports 4K/30fps and 60fps.
As for the ultra-wide and front lens, both support 1080P/30fps or 60fps options.
The videos captured from the phone are clear and sharp. The video stabilisation is also quite good compared to some other phones in the segment.
Here are some sample videos –

Realme GT 7 Pro Night Video
The camera settings also have a dedicated underwater shooting mode that allows the phone to capture moments underwater perfectly.
The mode can also activate automatically when the phone is submerged in water.
Realme GT 7 Pro – Battery and Charging
Realme GT 7 Pro has smashed it in the battery department packing a massive 6500mAh battery with this flagship device.
It is one of the largest batteries one can get on any smartphone in the market.
As we extensively used the phone for hours, battery support was undeniable. We can expect the battery to provide support for around 20 hours on a single charge easily.
The phone also supports 120W ultra charge support.
This can actually shoot up the battery to almost 90 per cent charge from close to zero within 30 to 35 minutes of charging.
Some battery stats –
- 13mins charge to 50%,
- 37mins charge to 100%
- Charing 1min – Standby 20h, Call 1h
- Charging 5mins – Standby 124h, Call 7h
However, we wish there was wireless charging support as that would make it a perfect flagship phone in the battery department.
Verdict – Should You Buy Realme GT 7 Pro?
Realme GT 7 Pro is overall a great flagship device with a top-tier high-performing chipset, a great AMOLED display, one of the biggest batteries with ultra-fast charging, a versatile camera system and even some cool AI features.
Apart from all this, the phone also looks every bit of a flagship with its premium design elements and solid build quality.
If you are looking for a powerful phone that looks great and can provide a great flagship smartphone experience, the Realme GT 7 Pro is surely worth considering.
