Realme is preparing to launch the Neo7, the first phone in its newly separated Neo lineup (previously part of the GT Neo series). While the official release date is still unknown, the company has shared some new details about the phone’s pricing and key features.
Realme confirms that the Neo7 will debut in China at a price below CNY 2,499 (approximately $345, €330, or INR 29,100). This places the phone firmly in the competitive mid-range segment. However, the Neo7 may stand out in terms of its performance and battery life.
Realme claims that the Neo7 will offer the “strongest performance, battery life, and quality” in its price range. Supporting this, the phone reportedly scores over 2 million on AnTuTu and features a battery capacity of more than 6,500 mAh.
Durability seems to be another area of focus for the Neo7. Although Realme hasn’t confirmed the exact IP rating, they’ve hinted it will exceed IP68. So it’s likely the IP69 certification that offers protection against high-pressure, high-temperature sprays.
Expected Specifications
According to rumors, the Neo 7 will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ chipset and a 7,000mAh battery. Previously, a listing on China’s 3C certification site suggested that the Realme Neo 7 will likely launch with support for 80W wired SuperVOOC charging. And the handset could get a large 1.5K resolution display.
In comparison, the current Realme GT Neo 6 comes with a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC, a 5,500mAh battery with 120W charging, and a 6.78-inch 1.5K 8T LTPO AMOLED display. It starts at CNY 2,099 (approximately ₹22,000) for the 12GB + 256GB variant in China.
The last Neo-branded device to launch in India was the GT Neo 3 in 2022. Whether Realme plans to bring its Neo lineup back to the Indian market remains uncertain. Just yesterday, Realme introduced the GT 7 Pro in India.
