Realme is expanding its reach beyond local markets by the introduction of its GT 7 series, not only because of the daring features but also because of the extravagant number of them. The GT 7 and GT 7T are news to the foreign market, presenting nearly the most daring hardware that the year has been made of. Thus, what are these extremely special phones? We figure it out together.
Design and Display: Sleek Looks, Stunning Screens
It is hard to tell apart from each other whether GT 7 or GT 7T are less luxurious and less expensive flagship products. GT 7 is available in two color variants: IceSense Black and IceSense Blue, while GT 7T has only the colors of GT 7 but adds the bright and attractive Racing Yellow as the third color option. Realme’s design team had no limits with the Dream Edition, which was a co-development project with the Aston Martin Aramco F1 Team. Apart from the exclusive Racing Green color, the car also features a silver wing badge and is delivered in a special packaging that should be equally attractive to the fans and the collectors of motorsports.
At the front, the GT 7 boasts a 6.78-inch display, whereas the GT 7T is just a bit larger at 6.8 inches. Both come with LTPS AMOLED panels, featuring a sharp “1.5K” resolution and a smoothly refreshing 120Hz refresh rate. The GT 7 is also equipped with Gorilla Glass 7i and can reach a maximum brightness of 6,000 nits, which is one of the highest available. The GT 7T is still a very bright display, though, with 1,800 nits of local peak brightness.
Performance and Hardware: Built to Deliver
Backed by the engine, Realme has been making significant changes. The GT 7 is driven by the MediaTek Dimensity 9400e chipset, an improved version of the already very powerful 9300+. The GT 7T is powered by a custom Dimensity 8400-Max chip. Both devices support RAM of up to 12GB and 512GB of storage, while the GT 7 Dream Edition takes things further with 16GB of RAM.
To manage all that power, Realme has implemented a new IceSense Graphene cooling system, which they claim is better than standard copper heat sinks. The system can cool chipset temperatures as much as 6°C lower, ensuring a smoother experience through gaming and multitasking.
Battery and Charging: Power That Lasts
This is where the GT 7 series truly gains a lead. Both devices boast gargantuan 7,000mAh batteries—something previously considered too ambitious for fast-charging smartphones. And yes, both offer 120W wired charging. Realme says that you can get up to 50 percent charge in only 14 minutes. Full charge for the GT 7 is just 40 minutes, while that of the GT 7T is 42 minutes. That’s a big plus for anyone fed up with dealing with low battery notifications all day.
Camera Systems: Versatile and Capable
The GT 7 has a triple camera system that comprises a 50MP primary sensor (Sony IMX906) with optical stabilization, a 50MP telephoto shooter with 2x optical zoom, and an 8MP ultrawide shooter. The front has a crisp 32MP selfie shooter.
The GT 7T also features a dual camera setup at the back: a 50MP primary sensor (IMX896) and an 8MP ultra-wide angle, joined by the same 32MP front camera. The global GT 7 variant receives an improved camera setup compared to the Chinese model, however, thanks to the telephoto lens and improved front camera.
Software and Updates: Long-Term Commitment
Both phones operate on the Realme UI 6.0 operating system based on Android 15. Realme is guaranteeing four years of significant OS updates and six years of security patches, providing peace of mind for users who prefer to hold on to their devices for extended periods.
Special Editions and Extras
The GT 7 Dream Edition is truly a showstopper. Co-designed with the Aston Martin Aramco F1 Team, it comes with Racing Green styling and even gets special accessories such as a Silver Wing phone case and racecar-inspired SIM ejector pin. It’s a stylish recognition of performance and design.
