After teasing for quite a white, realme has finally launched the realme X7 series in India. The series consists of two devices, namely realme X7 and realme X7 Pro. Interestingly, the brand did not bring the original X7 to India. Instead, it rebranded the recently released realme V15 5G as realme X7 for the country. With that being said, let us take a look at the specs, features, price, and availability of these handsets.

realme X7/X7 Pro Specifications and Features

Design

The realme X7 series looks like any other realme smartphone with a vertically aligned camera setup on the back and colorful gradient finishes. The duo also features the brand’s slogan (DARE TO LEAP) on their real panel. However, the panel of the regular realme X7 is made of polycarbonate instead of glass as on the realme X7 Pro.

As for colors, the realme X7 can be bought in either Nebula or Space Silver, whereas the realme X7 Pro is sold in Fantasy and Mystic Black versions.

Display

The vanilla realme X7 sports a 6.4-inch FHD+ (2400 x 1080 pixels) Super AMOLED display with a punch-hole at the top left corner. This panel comes with a 60Hz refresh rate, 180Hz touch sampling rate, 600 nits peak brightness, in-screen fingerprint sensor, 20:9 aspect ratio, 90.8% screen-to-body ratio, and 1000000:1 contrast ratio.

On the other hand, the realme X7 Pro flaunts a 6.55-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels (FHD+), 120Hz refresh rate, 240Hz touch sampling rate, and 1200 nits peak brightness. Other parameters of this screen include an in-display fingerprint sensor, punch-hole on the top left side, 20:9 aspect ratio, 91.6% screen-to-body ratio, a 6000000:1 contrast ratio, 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, 103% NTSC color gamut, and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection.

Internals

Although both The realme X7 and realme X7 Pro come with LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.1 internal storage, the chipsets are different on the two. The Pro model is powered by MediaTek Dimensity 1000+ SoC paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage, whereas the regular model has a less powerful MediaTek Dimensity 800U chipset and it maxes out at 128GB internal storage but the maximum amount of RAM is 8GB.

Further, both of them feature a similar set of sensors, such as a compass, ambient light sensor, gyroscope, proximity sensor, and accelerometer. However, although the duo runs the same Android 10-based realme UI operating system, the realme X7 is backed by a smaller 4,310mAh battery with support for 50W fast charging as opposed to a larger 4,500mAh battery in the realme X7 Pro that can charge at a rate of 65W.

Camera

Talking about optics, the realme X7 Pro houses a quad-camera setup on the back consisting of a 64MP Sony IMX686 primary sensor, an 8MP secondary sensor with a 119° ultra-wide-angle lens, a 2MP tertiary sensor with a macro lens (4cm), and a 2MP quaternary monochrome sensor for portrait shots. Whereas, selfies and video calls are taken care of by a 32MP front-facing shooter.

The realme X7, on the other hand, sports a triple camera setup on the back that includes a 64MP primary sensor paired with an 8MP ultra-wide unit (119°) and a 2MP macro snapper. Further, on the front, it features a 16MP camera for video calls and selfies.

As far as video recording is concerned, the cheaper model maxes out at 4K 30fps and 720 240fps slow-motion from the rear camera and 1080p 30fps and 1010 120fps slow-motion from the front camera. However, the costlier model can also record at 4K 60fps from the back camera.

Connectivity and Ports

The realme X7 series support 5G although the networks are not live in India. Both the devices come with a dual-SIM card slot, dual-band WiFi, and GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, GALILEO, QZSS). 

However, the realme X7 Pro not only has WiFi 6 but also NFC as compared to only WiFi 5 on the realme X7. But the former comes with Bluetooth 5.0 instead of Bluetooth 5.1 as found in the latter.

Anyway, both of them sport a USB Type-C port and lack a 3.5mm headphone jack as well as a microSD card slot. Additionally, the Pro model also comes with dual stereo speakers.

• realme X7

  • 6GB + 128GB – ₹19,999 ($274)

It is a well-known fact that realme is bringing the X7 series to India. However, recent teasers by the company suggest that it might rebrand the V15 from China as realme X7 in India. Ahead of an expected February 4 launch, colors and memory variants of the devices have now been leaked.

First off, Madhav Sheth, CEO of realme India and Europe, tweeted the image of the upcoming realme X7 in India. Looking at the image, we can say that the device is mostly the realme V15 5G that launched recently in China. To affirm this, the device has already received India’s BIS certification as well.

With that out of the way, the new leak on Storage and Color variants of realme X7, X7 Pro comes from a Twitter user Himanshu(@byhimanshu). You can take a look at them below:

• realme X7 India
  • Memory: 6 / 8GB RAM, 128GB storage
  • Colors: Nebula, Space Silver
• realme X7 Pro India
  • Memory: 8GB RAM, 128GB storage
  • Colors: Mystic Black, Fantasy

Here, the Nebula of realme X7 should be the one that Madhav teased today. It is called the “Koi Mirror” color variant in China. Similarly, the “Fantasy” of the realme X7 Pro could be the “C- Color gradient” of China.

Either way, realme is yet to announce the launch event officially. A mistakenly posted tweet by a Blogger earlier today showed February 4, 2021 as the launch date. The invitation also had the MT6853VTNZA on it teasing the Dimensity 800U chipset on the realme X7.

This and Madhav’s teasers almost confirms the specs of realme X7 in India. Accordingly, it will feature a 6.4-inch FHD+ AMOLED display, LPDDR4x RAM, UFS 2.1 storage, 64MP triple-camera, 16MP selfie shooter, no 3.5m jack/microSD slot, 4,310mAh battery with 50W charging.

Although the company hasn’t tweeted much about the X7 Pro, it should most likely retain the specs and design from the Chinese variant.

Chinese brand realme launched India’s first 5G smartphone in the form of realme X50 Pro in the first quarter of 2020. Also, this handset happens to be the only 5G-enabled device from the brand in the country ever after months. But now, the company’s Indian CEO has confirmed to release more 5G smartphones in 2021.

Last week, a popular Indian tech influencer claimed that realme may debut its X7 series of 5G smartphones in India in December. Then, earlier this week, Anku Jain, the Managing Director (MD) of MediaTek India hinted at the launch of these devices.

Now, Madhav Sheth, the CEO of realme India himself has confirmed that the realme X7 series will launch in 2021. Also, he revealed the brand’s plan to ‘democratize 5G technology in 2021’. That means realme will be launching more 5G smartphones next year in India, instead of only one handset like it did this year.

Anyway, users of these phones will not be able to use 5G as there’s no 5G network in India. Above all, the government is yet to auction spectrum for the fifth-generation wireless network.

So one might be wondering why realme is bringing 5G handsets to India. The answer is simple: the brand wants to be a forerunner by readying the market even before 5G arrives as India is one of the three largest smartphone markets in the world.

Another reason is that almost all Chinese brands have been only launching 5G smartphones in their home market since the beginning of 2020. This trend is expected to get stronger in the coming quarters. Hence, it does not make sense for the companies to invest in R&D for 4G phones.
