Realme GT 7 Pro is anticipated to be a premium smartphone set to debut on November 4 in China. The company has shared many important details about this device. However, the official pricing information has not been revealed yet. Thanks to a recent leak, we now have an idea about the potential starting price of the smartphone.
Pricing Insights
An online retailer (as reported by GSMArena) has indicated that the Realme GT 7 Pro may start at CNY 3,999, which is approximately $560 or €520. To put this into context, last year's Realme GT 6 Pro began at CNY 3,399, which is around $476 or €441. This suggests that the Realme GT 7 Pro is likely to see a significant increase in price compared to its predecessor.
Industry Trends
In a similar vein, Xiaomi has already announced that their upcoming Xiaomi 15 series will also experience a price hike. The company has attributed this to rising research and development costs, as well as the higher expenses of phone components.
Features and Expectations
The price increase for the Realme GT 7 Pro might be due to comparable reasons. The cost of phone components, particularly the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, is expected to be higher. This new chipset offers enhanced performance compared to the previous version, but it also comes at a greater expense.
The Realme GT 7 Pro is confirmed to come with Samsung's Eco² OLED Plus display. Furthermore, it is anticipated to be equipped with a large 6,500mAh battery and support for 120W fast charging. More specifics about this device will be unveiled once it launches in China on November 4.
