Realme GT 7 Pro was introduced earlier this month in China as the most budget-friendly Snapdragon 8 Elite smartphone. The global launch of this device is set for Nov. 26. One of the key features of the GT 7 Pro is its large battery, which surpasses all other Snapdragon 8 Elite phones currently offered in the Chinese market. However, new information indicates that the battery capacity of the GT 7 Pro’s global version will be less than that of its Chinese counterpart.
Battery Capacity for Global Version
The Realme GT 7 Pro that will be released internationally, including in India, will come equipped with a 5,800mAh battery. In contrast, the Chinese version boasts a much larger 6,500mAh battery. Both the global and Chinese models offer support for 120W fast charging.
Comparison with Other Phones
This isn't the only smartphone that features a smaller battery size for its global version. The iQOO 13, which was launched last month in China, comes with a 6150mAh battery, while its version for India will have a reduced capacity of 6,000mAh.
Reasons Behind Battery Differences
So far, there has been no official explanation from either Realme or iQOO regarding why their flagship phones for the global market have smaller batteries than those available in China. The weight of the Chinese iQOO 13 ranges from 207 to 212 grams, whereas the Realme GT 7 Pro weighs in at 223 grams. By reducing the battery size in their global models, they may aim to keep the weight below 200 grams.
Furthermore, various factors might explain the differences in battery sizes between the Chinese and global versions of the iQOO 13 and Realme GT 7 Pro. Preferences of the market, regulatory standards, and different usage patterns in regions can greatly influence the design and specs. In addition, the availability of components, as well as logistics within the supply chain and local certification requirements, can also affect battery capacities.
