Realme is one of the first smartphone makers to use Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite chip with the upcoming GT 7 Pro.
The smartphone is set to launch in China this month. Right after its mainland release, Realme has confirmed that the GT 7 Pro will launch globally in November, making it the first phone with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip available worldwide.
The phone will be available in over 10 markets simultaneously, including major regions like India, Europe (Italy and Spain), and Southeast Asia (Malaysia and Thailand).
The centerpiece of the GT 7 Pro is undoubtedly the Snapdragon 8 Elite. This recently announced chipset boasts an eight-core CPU configuration, with two performance cores reaching industry-leading clock speeds of up to 4.32 GHz. Built on a 3nm process, the chip promises significant improvements in performance and efficiency.
A recent leak suggests that the chip even surpasses a score of 3,000,000 on the AnTuTu benchmark.
Beyond the processing muscle, the GT 7 Pro is rumored to feature a custom-made Samsung display with a 1.5K resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate.
The GT 7 Pro might also mark a first for Realme in two areas. It will be the company’s first phone to integrate an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint scanner. Additionally, the device is expected to secure an IP68/69 rating for dust and water resistance.
In terms of design, rumors suggest a shift from the GT 5 Pro’s round camera module to a more contemporary square layout, as shown in the included render.
The camera specifications also feature high-end components. The GT 7 Pro might include a 50-megapixel Sony IMX906 primary sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS), alongside an 8-megapixel ultra-wide sensor and a 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 periscope telephoto lens offering 3x optical zoom. A 16-megapixel sensor could be used for selfies.
Another major highlight of the GT 7 Pro could be its high-density 6,500mAh silicon carbon battery, which is expected to support 100W wired charging.
