This is a very superior chipset bringing great levels of stability and efficiency for most use cases. Along with it comes the Adreno 618 GPU, up to 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.1 storage. Also seen on many other budget smartphones, this is an octa-core chipset built on the 8nm process.

The Realme 7 Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 720G chipset. Here’s where things get a little ordinary. Even as a fan of higher refresh rates, I was really pleased with the panel here. The sides are also gently curved to make swiping and holding the device feel more natural.Īlong with a hole-punch selfie camera and an in-display fingerprint scanner, the Realme 7 Pro ticks all the right boxes that people expect from a high-end phone today. There are reasonably slim bezels on all sides of the display, resulting in a screen-to-body ratio of 90.8%. The minimum brightness levels were great too.
We had no issues using it outdoors under direct sunlight either with ample maximum brightness. The saturation seems to be at a sweet spot too, where it doesn’t hamper the colour accuracy. Owing to the Super AMOLED nature of the panel, we get perfectly inky blacks, high contrast and vivid colours. Considering that most mid-rangers anyway fail to sustain that, it seems like a wise step to focus on improving the visual quality. It is quite possibly the best display on a smartphone under Rs 20,000, especially if higher refresh rates are not a priority. The result is a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 2,400 x 1,080, with a peak brightness of 600nits and 98% NTSC colour gamut coverage. The company maintained that this is what consumers were looking for. So, when the Realme 7 Pro turned around and went back to a 60Hz panel, it raised eyebrows.

The Realme 6 series continues to be the most affordable smartphones with a high refresh rate display. Overall, I like the new approach to design which is more minimalist and easier to appreciate. Though, this comes at the expense of losing character as nearly all Realme smartphones launched in the last 12 months had the same vertical camera layout. The cameras are placed in a rectangular housing in the top-left corner in a 2x3 grid, making the entire bump shorter and less pronounced. Even the power and volume buttons are conveniently placed along the centre of the phone on either side, making them easy to locate tactically. The subtly curved back improves the ergonomics further, making it one of the few truly compact and enjoyable phones to wield in today’s age of phablets.
Honestly, we’re fans of this approach as it makes the Realme 7 Pro significantly lighter than most other phones at 182 grams, without the risks of shattering that is inherent to glass. If anything, the centre can seem a little hollow. However, it doesn’t seem cheap or flimsy by any means. The back panel is now made of polycarbonate plastic and not glass. The Mirror Silver colourway looks even better in my opinion as the chrome silver look is a rare one on smartphones. We had the Mirror Blue variant which is a shade of deep royal blue.
It has a matte AG texture, giving it a more premium look while fighting fingerprints. The result is a unique two-tone finish when seen in the correct lighting. It sports a new “mirror split” design that asymmetrically cuts the back into two, having the same finish but in opposite directions. The same happens with the Realme 7 Pro, but this time, it is way more refined than anything else from the company in the past. With each generation, Realme implements new back design ideas for its number series smartphones.
