On Thursday, Realme will be launching the Realme X7 5G and Realme X7 Pro 5G smartphones in India. The former is believed to arrive as a rebadged version of the Realme V15 5G phone that went official last month in China. Ahead of the launch, Realme India has officially listed the Realme X7 Pro 5G phone with full specifications and images.

Realme X7 Pro 5G specifications and features

A 6.55-inch S-AMOLED FHD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate is available on the Realme X7 Pro 5G. After the OPPO Reno5 Pro 5G, it will be the second Dimensity 1000+ SoC powered phone to arrive in India. It has 8GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 128GB / 256 GB of UFS 2.1 storage.

On Jan. 27, Realme confirmed that it will be launching the Realme X7 series of smartphones in India on Feb. 4. The event will be held at 12:30 PM on the same date. The microsite for Realme X7 5G and Realme X7 Pro 5G is now live on Flipkart. Ahead of the launch, a tipster has revealed the pricing of the Realme X7 5G.

According to tipster GadgetsData (Debayan Roy), the Realme X7 5G will come in two options such as 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 8 GR RAM + 128 GB storage. These models are likely to be priced at Rs 19,999 (~$274) and Rs 21,999 (~$302). A previous leak revealed that it will be available in Nebula and Space Silver colors.

It is speculated that the Realme X7 Pro 5G will be coming in a single version of 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and it could be available in Mystic Black and Fantasy. There is no word on its pricing.

Realme X7 5G could be rebadged Realme V15 5G

The Realme X7 Pro 5G for India could be the same device that went official in China in September. However, it may not be the case with Realme X7 5G. It is likely that Realme V15 5G which debuted earlier this month in China could be rebadged as the Realme X7 5G for India.

The promo page of the Realme X7 5G on Flipkart states that it weighs 176 grams, and it is packed with specs like an S-AMOLED panel, Dimensity 800U chipset, a 4,300mAh battery with 50W SuperDart Charge technology, and a 64-megapixel (main) + 8-megapixel (ultrawide) + 2-megapixel (macro) triple camera system. These specifications can be found on the Realme V15 5G.

China’s Realme X7 5G and V15 5G phones have almost identical specs. However, the major difference between the two phones is that the former has a 64-megapixel quad-camera system. Since the phone heading to India has a 64-megapixel triple camera system, it is likely that the Realme V15 5G will be sold as Realme X7 5G in India.

realme started the global journey of the X7 series with realme X7 Pro launch in Thailand. Later, the company confirmed that it’s bringing the series to India this year. And it has already started appearing on support pages. Now, the company has revealed the launch date of the ‘Pro’ variant in Malaysia.

In a Facebook post, realme Malaysia says that the realme X7 Pro 5G will debut in Malaysia on January 26. It’s worth noting that the company has explicitly mentioned the ‘Pro’ like Thailand and Taiwan. However, we can’t rule out the possibility of the company launching the non-Pro(i.e., realme X7) variant in the future.

Anyway, the launch event will happen at 12:00 PM MST(UTC+08:00). Surprisingly, the event will be happening via Facebook which means you can expect a live stream on the platform. Plus, realme Malaysia also said that realme Watch S Pro will accompany the X7 Pro on Jan. 26 event.

realme X7 Pro 5G Specifications

Thanks to the early China launch, we know what to expect from the realme X7 Pro Malaysian variant. We can already spot the Gradient color with that ‘DARE TO LEAP’ slogan etching on the realme Malaysia Poster page. The Chinese variant also has two other options- Black and Fantasy White colors.

The device features a 6.55-inch sAMOLED 120Hz FHD+ display and is powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 1000+ SoC. This is paired with up to 8 GB of LPDDR4x RAM, and 256 GB of UFS 2.1 storage. For cameras, we have a quad-camera setup with a 64MP main lens, an 8MP ultra-wide, 2MP macro, and depth lenses. Upfront, there is a 32MP sensor inside the top-left punch-hole for selfies.

Other features include an in-display fingerprint sensor, 4,500mAh battery with 65W fast charging, SA/NSA 5G, Bluetooth 5.1, Wi-Fi, 4K video recording, dual-frequency GPS, NFC, stereo speakers, and more. It could run Realme UI based on Android 10 but with Android 11 already out, it will only be fair for realme to bring that to flagship.

Earlier this month, realme X7 Pro 5G got India’s BIS certification hinting at a launch. Following this, a few days back, realme India CEO Madhav Sheth confirmed that the realme X7 series will launch next year in India. And now, the realme X7 non-Pro variant has been spotted on India’s BIS website.

A realme smartphone, as reported by Root MyGalaxy(via GSMArena) appears on India’s BIS certification website. It has a model number RMX2176 under ‘REALME’. Now, if we recall, a device with the same model number visited TENAA back in August before the realme X7 series launch in China. The device later turned out to be the realme X7 5G.

That said, although Madhav mentioned a 2021 launch, he didn’t exactly give us a time frame. But, the latest listing suggests that the device might break cover very soon in India maybe in January. Besides, after looking at the BIS listing, one would expect that the device is indeed the realme X7 5G for India. But there is a possibility that realme might tweak it a bit.

This is because, if you take the realme 7 5G that recently launched in Europe, it is a realme V5 5G from China but with realme X7’s SoC and different display refresh rate(90Hz vs 120Hz). Hence, it is possible that realme might change something on the Indian variant too to differentiate it more from the ‘Pro’ variant. Anyway, since it’s too early to speculate anything, let’s brush up on the specs of realme X7 5G.

realme X7 5G Specifications

The realme X7 5G that launched in China back in September, features a 6.4-inch FHD+ AMOLED 120Hz punch-hole display, MediaTek Dimensity 800U SoC, 64MP sensor equipped quad-camera, 32MP selfie shooter, 4,300mAh battery with 65W SuperDart Charging.

Other features include SA/NSA 5G, GPS, Glonass, Galileo, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5.1, in-display fingerprint sensor, Superlinear speaker, Hi-Res Audio, 6/8GB LPDDR4x RAM, 128GB UFS 2.1 storage.

realme CEO Madhav Sheth has already hinted at the arrival of the realme X7 series smartphones to India. Following it, the X7 Pro 5G has hit India’s BIS certification along with others like NBTC, NCC hinting at a Global launch. Now, Anku Jain, MD, MediaTek India, hints that the X7 series might be the only Dimensity SoC Powered devices for India in 2020.

Anku Jain has given an exclusive interview to TechRadar. In that, he has brushed upon topics like MediaTek’s evolution, Dimensity SoCs, the future of 5G in India, and more. Regarding Dimensity SoCs, he says that the company is getting very good traction in China. This is evident with its staggering 61.2% YoY surge in September revenue report.

However, the Dimensity SoCs haven’t managed to break the barriers elsewhere. The company only recently announced the MediaTek Dimensity 1000C 5G SoC in the United States. Besides, Anku Jain notes that the company requires OEM partners’ support for Dimensity SoCs to flourish in countries like India. The reason for the delay of Dimensity SoCs is reportedly due to the delay in 5G rollout, perception of the companies, and their outlook on the market.

That said, regarding the Dimensity partnerships, he says the company is working with a lot of partners. And expects to see few phones before 2020 ends. In fact, when asked about the realme X7 Pro topic, he has hinted at a few things here. He expects the company’s existing 4G partners like Xiaomi, Vivo, Oppo. And realme to launch the devices soon.

However, when asked if we would see other brands bring Dimensity SoCs this year, he hints that it might happen only in 2021. This suggests that the realme X7 series, if they launch as expected in December, will be the only smartphones in India with Dimensity SoC this year. Accordingly, realme X7 5G features Dimensity 800U SoC while the X7 Pro 5G has Dimensity 1000+. Anyway, it looks like realme is going to pull the trigger for the wave of Dimensity-powered devices in India.

realme launched the realme X7 Pro 5G alongside the realme X7 5G in China last month. The device has been getting multiple certifications(NBTC, NCC) before a probable global launch. Now, it has been listed on India’s BIS certification website as well.

Tipster Sudhanshu on Twitter has shared the BIS listing of the upcoming Realme smartphone. It shows the model number RMX2121 and it seems to be granted on October 22. However, on digging through the BIS database, we couldn’t independently verify it. That said, the model number resonates with the realme X7 Pro 5G from the earlier NBTC certification and China launch. This BIS listing, along with Madhav’s recent tweet suggests that the device might not be far away from an imminent launch.

Besides, India is not the only country where the device is heading. Countries like Thailand, Taiwan, and the majority of Europe are likely to get the series soon. Recently, the device received Thailand’s NBTC and Taiwan’s NCC certifications. NBTC was a mere model number listing whereas NCC certification had shown the images(front, rear), batteries(2250mAhx2), and charger(65W). And it mostly looks similar to the Chinese model but we will have to wait and see if it gets any new color or storage variant.

Realme X7 Pro 5G Specifications

Anyway, realme X7 Pro 5G comes in China has three colors- Xingyu Black, Gradient Color, and Fantasy White. It features a 6.55-inch sAMOLED 120Hz display, MediaTek’s Dimensity 1000+ SoC paired with up to 8 GB of LPDDR4x RAM, and 256 GB of UFS 2.1 storage. For optics, we have a quad-camera setup with a 64MP main lens, an 8MP ultra-wide, 2MP macro, and depth lenses. A 32MP sensor tucked underneath the punch-hole for selfies.

Other features include an in-display fingerprint sensor, 4,500mAh battery with 65W fast charging, SA/NSA 5G, Bluetooth 5.1, Wi-Fi, 4K video recording, dual-frequency GPS, NFC, stereo speakers, and more. It runs Realme UI based on Android 10 out of the box.
