Recently, the realme GT6 smartphone was officially launched, starting at a price of 2799 yuan. After more than a month, news about the next flagship model, the realme GT7, has emerged.
According to leaks from tech bloggers, the realme GT7 Pro's product capabilities will be comprehensively enhanced, featuring ultrasonic fingerprint technology, periscope telephoto lens, ultra-large battery, and 100W fast charging.
Firstly, the blogger stated that the new device will feature a quad-curved display with a resolution of 1.5K, utilizing BOE's X2 substrate, which may undergo custom parameter adjustments and renaming.
Previously, the realme GT Ne6 SE debuted with BOE's S1 screen substrate, breaking the 6000nit brightness barrier for the first time in smartphone screens. It was also the only screen in its segment to adopt the 8T LTPO circuit scheme, supporting direct refresh rate switching for improved smoothness.
Compared to 7T LTPO, 8T LTPO adds a pixel reset transistor circuit, enhancing pixel update frequency.
This advantage allows for direct refresh rate switching, enabling the screen to jump from 1Hz to 120Hz instantly upon touch, eliminating the need for intermediate refresh rates and enhancing perceived smoothness.
BOE's X1 screen substrate debuted on the OnePlus Ace 3, featuring a custom 1.5K resolution.
The advancements in the realme GT7 Pro's screen technology signal the direction of smartphone display technology, emphasizing the combination of high resolution, brightness, and refresh rate.
In terms of performance, the new device will be equipped with the top-tier Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen4 processor, 16GB RAM, and 1TB storage. It will also feature a 6000mAh battery supporting 100W fast charging, although wireless charging may not be available in engineering prototypes, and it remains uncertain for the final production models.
Notably, the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 adopts Qualcomm's proprietary Nuvia Phoenix architecture, upgrading to an all-big-core "2+6" configuration, eliminating small cores entirely. Compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen3's 3.3 GHz clock speed, the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 boasts significant performance improvements.
Alongside the performance upgrade, rumors suggest a 25-30% price increase compared to the current Snapdragon 8 Gen3 processor, with an official release scheduled for October. However, the authenticity of these rumors requires further verification.
Another highlight of the new device is its single-point ultrasonic fingerprint recognition, conveniently located for easy unlocking. It also boasts IP68/69 dust and water resistance.
For photography, the device will feature a new LYT600 3X periscope lens, albeit without telephoto macro capabilities.
According to the blogger, the periscope lens employs a mid-range sensor, likely the common 1/2-inch OV64B sensor with native 3x optical zoom without cropping.
Additionally, during the realme Tech Carnival on August 14, Xu Qi, Vice President of realme, Global Marketing President, and President of realme China, confirmed the year-end launch of the realme GT7 Pro flagship, skipping the GT6 Pro.
Lastly, looking back at the previous-generation realme GT5 Pro, it featured the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 chip and wireless charging, starting at 12GB RAM + 256GB storage for just 3298 yuan, setting a new low-price record for Snapdragon 8 Gen3 flagships and earning the title of best value-for-money in its segment.
The new realme GT7 Pro is expected to continue pushing the price boundaries of the Snapdragon 8 Gen4, reinforcing its position as the best value-for-money option.
In summary, the new device continues the realme GT series' tradition of top-tier performance, with trade-offs in photography. However, the leaked specifications reveal upgrades in peripheral features, including ultrasonic fingerprint recognition and IP68/69 dust and water resistance, typically reserved for premium flagships.
Previously, realme showcased 320W UltraDart Charging Technology, capable of fully charging a 4420mAh battery in 4 minutes and 30 seconds. However, due to its experimental stage and specific battery capacity requirements, this technology will not be featured in the next-generation realme GT7 Pro.
