For some reason the battery of the Global Realme GT 7 Pro is smaller than its Chinese version

Right now the Realme GT 7 Pro holds the title of the most affordable phone on the market that makes use of the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC! Earlier this month, this new device premiered in China and will be available on the global market from November 26. One of the highlights of the GT 7 Pro is its huge battery, which is higher than any other Snapdragon 8 Elite phone available in the Chinese market. But a new development reveals that the battery size of the global version of the GT 7 Pro will be smaller than its Chinese variant.

As confirmed by the company, the Realme GT 7 Pro heading to the global market including India will have a 5,800mAh battery. In comparison, the Chinese model has a much larger battery that reaches 6,500 mAh, we are talking about a 700mAh difference! Fortunately, the global version still has the option of 120 W fast charging.

This isn’t the only phone to feature a reduced battery size. The Chinese version of the iQOO 13, which was announced last month, features 6150 mAh battery. On the other hand, its Indian variant houses a smaller one 6,000 mAh battery.

There is no official statement from Realme or iQOO as to why the global versions of their upcoming flagships have smaller batteries compared to their Chinese counterparts. The Chinese iQOO 13 weighs around 207 to 212 grams, while the Realme GT 7 Pro available in China weighs 223 grams. The reduced battery size in their global variants will probably allow them to keep the weight below 200 grams.

Additionally, several factors could be responsible for the differences in battery capacity between the Chinese and global versions of the iQOO 13 and Realme GT 7 Pro. Market preferences, regulatory requirements and usage patterns may vary by region, affecting design and specifications. Additionally, component availability, supply chain and local certification standards can affect battery sizes.
