When we thought the year is about to conclude with some boring smartphones, realme has rushed to the race to launch the very first Snapdragon 8 Elite powered smartphone – the realme GT 7 Pro. It isn’t just the most powerful smartphone you can get in the market right now, but it boasts several features that got me really excited, and I’m here to tell you about them after using it for two weeks.

Beastly Performance and Impressive Power Efficiency

The Snapdragon 8 Elite processor that powers the realme GT 7 Pro is a big step forward from its predecessor, this 3nm chip delivers over 45% performance improvement and 44% better power efficiency than before, while it takes on generative AI tasks with ease on the realme GT 7 Pro and delivers next generation WiFi 7 connectivity. 

The efficient manufacturing process also means that this chip delivers more performance than before without sipping more battery, while a large 11480mm² IceBerg VC Cooling System tames the CPU temperatures while doing intensive tasks such as gaming, ensuring a consistent and reliable performance.

What’s even more incredible is that it comes with a whooping 6500mAh Silicon Anode battery while maintaining a slim body profile of 8.6mm, it easily delivers more than two days of battery life on a single charge, while 120W SuperVOOC fast charging gives you 50% of charge in just 13 minutes, 100% of charge in 37 minutes, which no other smartphones come close.

Best-in-Class Realworld Eco2 OLED Display

If you think most smartphone displays are already good, wait till you see the realme GT 7 Pro’s display up front, it boasts a 6.78-inch Realworld Eco2 OLED Display that’s co-developed with Samsung, which covers an impressive 120% DCI-P3 color space while pushing a 2.7K resolution at 120Hz with 6000 nits peak brightness.

Watching movies on the realme GT 7 Pro’s display might look even better than your home’s TV and its brightness ensures excellent visibility even at the brightest outdoors, the Realworld Eco2 OLED display also consumes 25% lesser power than other LTPO OLED displays, which is one of the contributing factors to the phone’s impressive battery life.

Impressive AI-Powered Cameras that Works

The realme GT 7 Pro comes with a triple camera setup on the back, including a 50MP Sony IMX906 wide with OIS, a 50MP Sony IMX882 telephoto camera with OIS that delivers up to 3x optical zoom and an 8MP ultrawide camera, these are incredibly powerful camera sensors on a smartphone and when combined with realme’s advanced AI photography algorithms, taking photos in various lighting condition is simply effortless.

What we found out to be most impressive is the telephoto camera, not only it utilizes in-sensor zoom technology to achieve a clearer shot when exceeding its native focal length, it can get as far as 120x digital zoom, which is the furthest of any smartphone telephoto cameras while being able to retain decent amount of detail when used in good lighting.

The realme GT 7 Pro also features an Underwater camera mode that’s perfect for the pool, which enhances brightness and saturation when shooting underwater. In this mode, the touch screen is locked to prevent mistouches caused by water and you will use the volume buttons to switch between cameras, while the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner is used as the shutter button that allows you to capture a photo with your fingers, this is really ingenious as no other smartphones could do this.

The realme GT 7 Pro is IP68/IP69 water and dust resistant, which can be submerged up to 2-meters for 30 minutes.
