Realme did not launch its top-tier GT-series Android smartphone outside China in 2024, but that is expected to change with the next iteration of the series.
Anticipated Features of the GT6
The GT6 is rumored to be the first flagship model featuring a Samsung display, replacing the usual BOE screens that are often utilized. While BOE's much-admired X2 panel is said to be good enough for the global OnePlus 13, the Samsung alternative that Realme is believed to be using could be equally high-end, as suggested by the notable price tag of "10,000 yuan (~$1,414)" mentioned by well-known leaker Digital Chat Station (DCS).
In addition, it's reported that the screen will have a quad-curved design, differing from the flat screens found in several other upcoming premium devices.
Partnership and Hardware Upgrades
The reliable tipster also mentioned a possible "joint production" effort with another international OEM for the GT7 Pro, hinting that Realme may have finally teamed up with a brand partner for its rear cameras, similar to what its sister brands Vivo and OPPO have done.
This comment might also clarify another observation from DCS, which indicated that Realme has invested significantly in advanced Qualcomm hardware for the GT7 Pro, including a high-end ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.
Software and Pricing Insights
Moreover, the new smartphone is expected to feature the latest Snapdragon SoC, potentially a "Pro" version, according to DCS. It is likely to run Realme UI 6, a significant software update currently being previewed on the brand's Weibo page.
However, the details from this leak could hint at a higher price for the GT7 Pro upon its anticipated release.
