Key Takeaways
1. The Realme GT 7 will launch in China on April 23 and features a large 7200mAh battery, one of the highest capacities in flagship smartphones this year.
2. The phone maintains a slim design at 8.25mm thick and 203 grams, despite the larger battery, and supports 100W wired charging for fast power-up.
3. Realme introduces an innovative thermal design with a “graphene fiberglass fusion” back panel for improved thermal conductivity, enhancing performance during prolonged use.
4. Expected features include a flat 144Hz display, narrow bezels, an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, and an IP69 water resistance rating.
5. The GT 7 will be powered by MediaTek’s 3nm Dimensity 9400+ chip, with a potential price increase, though hopes remain for it to stay below 3000 yuan.
Realme is ready to unveil its upcoming flagship smartphone, the GT 7, which will be launched in China on April 23. This new device comes with several impressive enhancements. A standout feature is its much larger battery, as Realme has confirmed that the GT 7 will include a 7200mAh cell, making it one of the top contenders for the highest-capacity batteries in flagship models this year.
Slim Design with Added Power
Even with the bigger battery, Realme assures that the phone will maintain a sleek profile, measuring 8.25mm thick and weighing 203 grams. In comparison, the previous model, the GT 6, has a 5500mAh battery but is thicker at 8.6mm. The new battery will also support 100W wired charging, which should help reduce any downtime significantly.
Innovative Thermal Design
Besides the battery improvements, Realme is also launching what it calls an industry-first thermal design. The GT 7 will use a “graphene fiberglass fusion” back panel, which purportedly provides six times better thermal conductivity than regular glass. While this sounds impressive, it will be interesting to see how it affects everyday usage and prolonged gaming experiences.
Expected Features and Specifications
Although the company hasn’t disclosed a lot of information, leaks have hinted at some key features. The GT 7 is likely to boast a flat 144Hz display from BOE, complete with narrow bezels and an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor beneath the display. Additionally, it’s rumored to have an IP69 rating for water resistance and a plastic middle frame.
The device will be powered by MediaTek’s new 3nm Dimensity 9400+ chip, which may also be featured in rival flagships like the Redmi K80 Ultra and the OnePlus Ace 5s Pro. The GT 6 was initially priced at 2799 yuan ($386) in China, but it used a sub-flagship Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip. Given that the Dimensity 9400+ in the GT 7 Pro offers better performance and a more advanced manufacturing process, a price hike seems likely. However, we still hope the price will remain below 3000 yuan.
