Display
The realme GT 7 5G features a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 2780×1264 resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and an industry-leading 6,000 nits peak brightness, ensuring vibrant visuals and smooth scrolling for gaming and streaming. With a 93.9% screen-to-body ratio, 100% P3 color gamut, and 2,600Hz instantaneous touch sampling rate, it delivers an immersive experience. Protected by ArmorShell Glass or Corning Gorilla Glass 7i, it offers durability, though some users note minor reflections compared to the flat display on the POCO X7 Pro.
Processor
Powered by the 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 9400e chipset with an Arm Immortalis-G720 GPU, the GT 7 achieves an AnTuTu score of over 2 million, supporting 120fps gaming in titles like BGMI. Available in 8GB/256GB, 12GB/256GB, and 12GB/512GB variants with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage, it lacks microSD expansion, unlike the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion. The 7,700mm² vapor chamber with IceSense Graphene cooling ensures sustained performance, though it trails the realme GT 7 Pro’s Snapdragon 8 Elite in raw power.

Camera
The GT 7 5G sports a triple rear camera setup with a 50MP Sony IMX906 primary sensor (f/1.8, OIS), a 50MP telephoto lens (f/2.0, 2x optical zoom), and an 8MP ultra-wide lens (f/2.2). The 32MP Sony IMX615 front camera supports 4K video. AI features like AI Travel Snap, 4K 120fps cinematic video, and realme NEXT AI enhance photography, but low-light ultra-wide shots lag behind the OPPO Reno14 Pro’s 50MP triple camera. Daylight and portrait shots are vibrant, ideal for social media.
Battery
The GT 7 5G houses a 7,000mAh Titan Battery (dual 3,500mAh cells) with 120W Ultra Charge, reaching 50% in 14 minutes and 100% in 40 minutes, offering up to 20 hours of YouTube or 6.3 hours of PUBG gameplay. The Long-life Battery Chip ensures 300% extended lifespan, earning TÜV Rheinland 5-Star Certification. It outperforms the Vivo V50 5G’s 6,000mAh battery but lacks wireless charging, unlike the OPPO Reno14 Pro.

Design and Durability
Weighing 206g (211g for Dream Edition) and measuring 162.42×76.13×8.3mm (8.73mm for Dream Edition), the GT 7 5G features an IceSense Graphene back cover for cooling and grip in IceSense Black and IceSense Blue, with the Dream Edition in Aston Martin Green. Its IP68/IP69 ratings and ArmorShell Glass ensure resistance to 2m water submersion, high-pressure jets, and 1.5m drops, surpassing the POCO X7 Pro’s IP68 rating. Dual speakers with OReality Audio deliver immersive sound.
realme UI 6.0 on Android 15
Running realme UI 6.0 based on Android 15, the GT 7 5G offers AI features like AI Sketch to Image and AI Travel Snap. realme promises four years of OS updates and six years of security patches, outpacing the Vivo V50 5G’s three-year OS support. Some users report bloatware, which can be managed, unlike the cleaner Hello UI on the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion. Connectivity includes 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, and a SignalCatcher Chip for enhanced signal stability.
Pricing and Availability
The realme GT 7 5G is priced at ₹39,999 (8GB/256GB), ₹42,999 (12GB/256GB), and ₹46,999 (12GB/512GB), with the GT 7 Dream Edition at ₹49,999 (12GB/512GB). With bank offers, the effective starting price drops to ₹36,999 during the Amazon Prime Day Sale (July 12–14, 2025). Sales began on May 30, 2025, via Amazon, realme’s e-store, and offline retailers. Offers include EMI options and exchange bonuses, making it competitive against the iQOO Neo 10 (₹31,999) and POCO X7 Pro (₹27,999).
Why the realme GT 7 5G Stands Out
The realme GT 7 5G excels with its Dimensity 9400e chipset, massive 7,000mAh battery, and vibrant 6,000-nit AMOLED display, making it ideal for gamers and heavy users. Its IP69 rating and AI-powered cameras add durability and versatility, though low-light ultra-wide photography and bloatware are minor drawbacks compared to the OPPO Reno14 Pro’s camera system or Motorola Edge 60 Fusion’s cleaner UI. For those seeking flagship performance under ₹45,000, the realme GT 7 5G is a top contender in India’s 2025 market.
