Xiaomi should be worried, and it’s not about Samsung or Apple: it’s about Realme. An Asian company owned by the BBK group launched in Europe Realme GT 7 Proa premium smartphone, which a priori has nothing to envy other premium phones, and which also has a couple of very interesting advantages.
The Realme GT 7 Pro in particular hits the table in three key sections where the rest of the companies are looking to compete. One of them is performanceWell, the Realme GT 7 Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, which is one of the most powerful processors in the market. The same can be done with up to 16GB RAM configuration and 1TB internal storage.
Another advantage of the new GT 7 Pro is its battery; not only in terms of power, but also in terms of load, which reaches up to 120 W. Third, and no less important: price. Realme flagship arrives in Europe for 1099 eurosthe price is somewhat lower than what we see in the premium range of Samsung or Xiaomi.
The Realme GT 7 Pro also doesn’t skimp on areas like camera, design, screen or even AI as this mobile phone also includes features powered by Generative AI. In short, the new Realme mobile has all the best features of a high-end phone. Now, Does all gold glitter, or are there things that can be improved upon so that it cannot compete with the greatest?
The best of Realme GT 7 Pro
Neither the design, nor the screen, nor its cameras. What’s most striking about the Realme GT 7 Pro is its performance. We reiterate that the smartphone comes with the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, one of the most efficient and powerful chips available today. In fact, it is the brains of smartphones like the recently announced Xiaomi 15 in China, and will also be used in phones like the Galaxy S25 Ultra or OnePlus 13 Pro.
In this case, the Realme GT 7 Pro processor is accompanied by 16 GB of RAM, as well as 512 GB of internal memory.. Mobile flies; There is nothing that can resist him. Complete smoothness is felt from the first minute of setting up the smartphone and remains unchanged even in very demanding tasks or very heavy games with graphics at maximum. Of course, in the latter case some overheating is often felt. By the way, the fingerprint scanner built into the screen works just as quickly: with a light press it unlocks the terminal.
The battery of the Realme GT 7 Pro is another one of the most striking features of the Realme GT 7 Pro. Not only because of its 120 W power.Allows you to charge 100% in just half an hour. — Yes, the package does not include a battery. This is no more and no less than 6500 mAh They do their job perfectly and allow you to use the device for more than a day without limiting the refresh rate or brightness.
Speaking of brightness, it is worth mentioning the screen of the Realme GT 7 Pro because in my opinion it is another one of the best features of this smartphone. This is an AMOLED panel made by Samsung with Diagonal 6.78 inches. It also has Full HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate with peak brightness of up to 6,500 nits.
This is a very good screen with excellent clarity, very accurate color reproduction and more than enough brightness for everyday use. Realme even allows you to increase the brightness beyond the usual level (2000 nits) in the settings, which is appreciated in some cases.
What can be improved in Realme GT 7 Pro
There is actually nothing wrong with the Realme GT 7 Pro, but there are some areas that can be improved over other premium smartphones. One of them your camera. The brand’s mobile phone comes with a triple camera system that includes a 50-megapixel primary sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera and a 50-megapixel telephoto lens capable of capturing 3x optical zoom photos.
Three cameras, in general, do a good job. In daylight it achieves results with good detail and vibrancy, although colors tend to become oversaturated in some cases. In low light conditions or indoors, it also tends to make some noise. especially with the ultra wide angle camera. Be warned, this is far from a bad camera, but it is true that it is somewhat inferior to other high-end phones.
Realme also wanted to make the camera more versatile with various AI features. The company chose a mode called Removing motion blur using AIwhich is capable of adjusting the quality and focusing on those images that are blurry or blurry. This works well as long as the photo isn’t too blurry, otherwise the generative AI will create almost anything it can think of and make it obvious that it’s an edited photo. Interestingly, this function can be supplemented with a function that can improve the quality of images, in which case it works correctly in most cases.
Another feature applied to the camera is AI Eraser 2.0a magic eraser that is capable of removing unwanted elements from an image by surrounding the area we want to erase, painting over it, or simply choosing the option that removes people appearing in the background. The truth is that the latter option works very well. The ability to circle an element and delete it too. Finger erasing, however, tends to be much less accurate, and if we don’t completely paint over the object, the AI won’t erase it correctly.
There’s another AI feature applied to the camera that can be very interesting: a sketch-to-image mode. We just need to draw the element we want to appear in the photo, such as a cloud, and the AI will add it to the original image. Result? Don’t expect a realistic design, although it is true that the model correctly identifies what we have drawn, even if it is a poor job.
Realme GT 7 Pro design This is also something that can be improved. In my opinion, it has fallen a little behind compared to its predecessor, which had more premium lines. The back of this terminal, made of glass, does not feel like one, and its photo module is not the most aesthetically pleasing. It is also quite large and heavy.
Is it worth it?
It’s easy to recommend the Realme GT 7 Pro, despite its minor shortcomings, for one simple reason. For this price it is difficult to find a better option. Currently, there is not even such a powerful mobile phone with such a good battery for just over 1 euro. This is an ideal option for those who want to get the most out of the multimedia sphere. And all this, in addition, with a versatile camera, a matching screen and small extras such as an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner or water resistance.
Realme GT 7 Pro, yes, has minor drawbacks. Its design may not be the most premium – although this is more a matter of taste. Moreover, its camera is not one of the best we have tested in a high-end mobile phone. We repeat; That’s not bad. In fact, with the exception of the ultra-wide-angle lens, which is lacking in many cases, it meets most conditions, but if you want to give priority to the photographic section, there are more attractive options – see Pixel 9 Pro – for a similar price (currently available for 999 euros ).
In any case, Realme has shown with this GT 7 Pro that not only is there life beyond Xiaomi, but there are also very interesting alternatives for those who prioritize the user experience on a mobile phone.
