Realme launched the GT 7 Pro smartphone in India this week, featuring Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. It is the country’s first device with this chip and includes a 1,480mm² VC cooling system to improve sustained performance.
The phone sports a flagship AMOLED display from Samsung, offering a peak brightness of 6,500 nits. Its camera setup includes a 50MP periscope portrait lens with a Sony IMX882 sensor, a 50MP Sony IMX906 main camera with OIS, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 16MP front-facing camera.
The GT 7 Pro is powered by a 5,800mAh battery that supports 120W charging. Realme has priced the base 12/256GB variant of GT 7 Pro at Rs 59,999, while the 16/512GB model costs Rs 62,999.
Given these features, is the Realme GT 7 Pro worth the price, or should you wait for the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered iQOO 13? Let’s take a look at their specs one by one.
Both the Realme GT 7 Pro and the upcoming iQOO 13 are powered by the recently announced Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. Built on a 3nm process, the processor uses Qualcomm’s in-house Oryon core CPU and is claimed to deliver a 45% increase in CPU performance and a 44% boost in power efficiency. In this case, however, neither phone will have an edge in raw processing power.
2. Display
The Realme GT 7 Pro sports a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 6500 nits. The iQOO 13 counters with a slightly larger 6.82-inch LTPO AMOLED display boasting a higher 144Hz refresh rate and a matching 6500 nits peak brightness. While both offers smooth visuals and excellent HDR experiences, gamers might favor the iQOO 13’s smoother refresh rate for fast-paced action
3. Camera
The GT 7 Pro features a quad-camera setup with a 50MP main sensor, a 50MP periscope lens, an 8MP ultrawide lens, and a 16MP front-facing camera.
The iQOO 13 also boasts a triple-camera system but with three 50MP sensors – a main wide, a telephoto with 2x optical zoom, and an ultrawide lens. Additionally, the iQOO 13 ups the ante with a 32MP front-facing camera. On paper, the iQOO 13 appears to offer more versatility with its triple 50MP rear cameras, potentially capturing better detail and low-light performance
4. Battery and Charging
Both phones come equipped with sizable batteries – the GT 7 Pro with a 5800mAh battery and the iQOO 13 with a 6000mAh battery. Both phones support 120W fast charging, with Realme claiming a 30-minute charge to 100% in the Indian variant. iQOO hasn’t revealed its specific charging times for India yet.
5. Price and Avilability
The GT 7 Pro starts at Rs 59,999 for the 12GB/256GB variant, while the 16GB/512GB model is priced at Rs 62,999. iQOO has yet to reveal the pricing for the iQOO 13, but the brand’s history suggests it will likely be competitively priced.
A rumor on social media platform X hints that the iQOO 13 may cost around the same as the GT 7 Pro. If this turns out to be true, the iQOO 13 could be the better choice, given the upgrades it has over the GT 7 Pro.
iQOO will unveil the smartphone inIndia on December 3rd, and we’ll keep you updated with more details.
