An iPhone in 2024 will no longer surprise anyone. The iPhone 16 Pro line turned out to be especially boring, which received minimal changes compared to the previous generation.
This year, all public attention is focused on the new Qualcomm product – the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, which has surpassed even the top-end A18 Pro. Don’t believe me? Below are the proofs.
In the meantime, I’ll tell you about the new realme product – the flagship smartphone realme GT 7 Pro, which just came out, but has already overtaken its competitors and shown aerobatics.
I’ll tell you why this “pipe” is special and why you should pay attention to it.
Briefly:
The set is rich. We didn’t expect anything else
The company does not change its traditions and supplies the smartphone with everything you need:
► The realme GT 7 Pro smartphone itself
► 120W charger for ultra-fast charging
► USB-C cable
► Protective case
► Documentation
Despite the lack of wireless charging, the gadget offers incredibly fast wired charging, which is already an advantage in its price category. More on this below.
Looks premium and lives up to it
I really like the color of the case
Realme GT 7 Pro has a premium design. The body of the device is made of glass and metal, giving it solidity and elegance. It was the aluminum back panel that did not allow the addition of wireless charging, but the case is stronger than glass.
The square block of cameras is framed by a glass panel with a metal colored frame, harmoniously combined with the body. It’s a rare case that cameras don’t evoke a terrible feeling of lack of taste among designers.
The dimensions of the device are balanced: at 8.6 mm thick and lighter than competitors such as the Galaxy S24 Ultra, the smartphone fits comfortably in the hand, despite the large screen and massive battery. It is compact enough to be used with one hand, although it is comparable in size to the iPhone 16 Pro Max – for me personally, this was a shock, because it is precisely because of the size that I do not like large smartphones.
The power and volume buttons are located on the right. There is an infrared port near the camera that allows you to use your smartphone to control various household devices, which is an excellent functional detail for users. NFC is also provided for the convenience of contactless payments and data exchange.
At the same time, the frames of the smartphone are matte, so they are not covered with fingerprints and are completely non-staining. Plus, thanks to this solution, the case does not turn into “soap” and is in no hurry to fly out of your hand.
The sound on the Realme GT 7 Pro doesn’t disappoint either. The smartphone is equipped with stereo speakers – they are really high quality. The sound is loud, clear and rich. Even at maximum volume there is no wheezing, which personally pleasantly surprised me. On the other hand, for this price category it was not worth waiting for anything else.
Juicy and very bright screen in place
The Realme GT 7 Pro display is not just a screen, but a real showcase of technology. The 6.78-inch OLED panel with HDR10+ and Dolby Vision support literally brings content to life. Rich colors, deep blacks and high contrast all create an immersive experience.
The peak brightness here is 6500 nits! Shock? Well, of course, only such an indicator can be achieved in one small zone, so it looks more like slight deceit on the part of the manufacturer. The actual maximum brightness over the entire area reaches 2000 threadswhich is also very cool. For comparison, the same figure in the iPhone 16 Pro Max is 1600 nits.
With a 120Hz refresh rate and 2600Hz sensor response rate, scrolling through pages and transitioning between apps is incredibly smooth. At the same time, despite all these “lightning-fast” characteristics, the screen does not overload the eye, which is especially important for long-term use.
The cutout is not annoying at all
The energy saving system also plays a significant role: technology Eco² OLEDwhich integrates a polarizing film into the panel itself, reduces energy consumption, increasing autonomy. In fact, this is the world’s first smartphone in a monolithic form factor, which does not have a polarizing layer.
All this makes the Realme GT 7 Pro display not just pleasing to the eye, but also a smart solution in terms of energy saving, which is rarely seen in devices with such brightness and built-in technologies.
Finally, there is an in-display ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. And it works even with wet handsthe gadget can be unlocked even under water.
A beast of a smartphone that even beats the iPhone 16 Pro Max
It’s just made for gaming
The performance of Realme GT 7 Pro leaves far behind 99% of competitors, this is truly a flagship level.
The heart of the smartphone is the top-end Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, 12 GB of RAM (for Russia; in global versions and for China – 16 GB) LPDDR5X and fast UFS 4.0 storage with a capacity of 256 or 512 GB, depending on the model.
This combination provided excellent results in benchmarks. Watch your fingers:
AnTuTu: 2.7 million points
Geekbench 6 (single-core mode): 3044 points
Geekbench 6 (multi-core): 9221 points
For comparison, the iPhone 16 Pro Max with the A18 Pro processor collects 3403 and 8389 points in Geekbench, respectively. Yes, it wins in single-core mode, but in multitasking it is much inferior to its competitor in synthetic tests.
Gaming performance is also top notch, with GT Mode 3.0 improving graphics and making games run smoother, minimizing lag and enhancing visual richness. In real conditions, this is felt when playing demanding projects, like the already established Genshin Impact.
The smartphone demonstrated excellent stability on ultra graphics settings at 60 FPS (and AI Gaming Super Resolution technology increases this figure to 120 FPS) and did not even throttle after half an hour, as was the case before. I will say even more, thanks to the game AI here you can increase image resolution to 1.5Kwhich is double 720p.
Thanks to such a powerful processor and excellent optimization, realme GT 7 Pro easily copes with multitasking, providing simply amazing speed. During the entire testing period, I did not see a single lag or microfreeze (alas, even the iPhone cannot boast of this now).
Shoots great
And how I still like the design of the camera block
The Realme GT 7 Pro’s camera is one of those features that can surprise even the most demanding users.
The presence of two 50-megapixel sensors, both with optical stabilization (OIS), immediately attracts attention. The wide-angle lens combined with the main camera gives excellent results when shooting landscapes or large group shots, without losing quality even in the corners of the frame.
The second 50MP sensor is a telephoto with 3x optical zoom, which allows you to take closer photos without losing detail. There is even a 6x zoom mode. And although this zoom is digital, you will not notice a significant loss in quality.

The smartphone worked perfectly even the wool

Finally, the third module is represented by an 8 MP ultra-wide sensor. Nothing special here. Already standard photos for Android smartphones in good lighting.
Particular attention should be paid to the special underwater shooting mode, which, in essence, turns the GT 7 Pro into a gadget for lovers of water activities, if you suddenly forgot to take your GoPro with you. The smartphone received standard protection IP69 (up to 30 minutes at a depth of up to 2 meters).
The front camera is represented by a 16 MP sensor with improved stabilization, which is suitable for bright selfies or video calls in any lighting.
As for video, the realme GT 7 Pro allows you to record videos in 4K with optical stabilization.
Huge battery and 120W turbo charging
The last highlight of the gadget was its large battery. 6500 mAh. This is a real monster among smartphones.
He is able to work all day even with intensive use. Thanks can also be given to the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and the energy-efficient OLED panel.
In my tests, the smartphone easily withstood more than 10 hours of active use, including games and videos or using several applications at the same time. I don’t even remember if I charged the device more than a couple of times in almost a week.
Particularly impressive is the support for 120W fast charging. The smartphone charges from 0 to 100% in a little more than half an hour – this is one of the best indicators on the market. And in just 13 minutes you can increase the charge to 50% from zero.
At the same time, the GT 7 Pro does not overheat thanks to the advanced cooling system. Even my iPhone 15 Pro gets twice as hot.
I haven’t been so happy with an Android smartphone for a long time
The top-end realme GT 7 Pro was able to truly surprise me.
This is a smartphone that perfectly combines power and style: Snapdragon 8 Elite, a 6500 mAh battery, a rich OLED screen and powerful 120 W charging – all this gives the new product one of the main places among flagships.
The new product is available in colors Martian sand And Galaxy gray. You can already purchase it in DNS, M.Video, OZON, Wildberries and Yandex Market. Prices:
• realme GT 7 Pro, 12/256 GB: from 89,999 rubles
