Recently, Realme officially announced that its highly anticipated new phone, Realme GT7 Pro, will be released on November 4. However, just as this new phone is about to debut, it unexpectedly encountered numerous doubts and complaints from netizens, casting a shadow over its future market performance.
First, netizens expressed strong dissatisfaction with the timing of the Realme GT7 Pro's release. They believe that in this era of fierce competition in the smartphone market, major brands are going all out to release new phones to capture market share. However, Realme chose to release its new phone at this crucial moment on the eve of Singles' Day, which is undoubtedly "ill-timed." Coupled with Realme's insufficient brand influence, this new phone faces enormous market pressure right from its launch.
In addition to the timing of the release, netizens also questioned the screen configuration of the Realme GT7 Pro. Although the phone uses Samsung's first 1.5K full-depth four-curved screen, many consumers believe that such a screen configuration does not meet their needs. They expressed their puzzlement that since it aims to create a flagship phone, why not use a 2K screen to enhance the display effect? This doubt undoubtedly makes the screen configuration of the Realme GT7 Pro a target of criticism.
At the same time, netizens also expressed concern about the imaging capabilities of the Realme GT7 Pro. They believe that compared with the previous generation, the imaging system of this new phone has not been significantly improved and has even regressed in some aspects. Such performance obviously cannot satisfy consumers and has caused doubts about the photography effect of the Realme GT7 Pro.
In addition, netizens also criticized the design of the Realme GT7 Pro. They believe that this phone has obvious problems in terms of thickness and chin width, which seriously affect its overall aesthetics and feel. Such a design will undoubtedly make consumers hesitate and have concerns when making a purchase.
In fact, the doubts about the Realme GT7 Pro are just a microcosm of the difficulties faced by the Realme brand in recent years. As an emerging brand, Realme has always been at a disadvantage in the smartphone market competition. Its brand recognition and user base are relatively weak, making it difficult to stand out in the fierce market competition. Coupled with the intensification of competition in the smartphone market and the extension of the replacement cycle in recent years, Realme's development has become even more difficult.
According to relevant data, Realme's total activations in China in the first quarter of this year were only 796,000 units, with a market share of only 1.2%. Compared with the previous two years, Realme's market share has also shown a continuous downward trend. Such market performance undoubtedly fills people with concerns about Realme's future.
To break through the difficulties, Realme has tried to launch high-end product lines and enhance its brand influence. However, judging from the actual market performance, these efforts have not yielded significant results. Its high-end products have not been able to successfully open the market and have instead been ignored by consumers due to their high prices and insufficient brand influence.
In addition to weak brand power and intensifying market competition, Realme's shortcomings in after-sales service have also exacerbated its difficulties. Since separating from OPPO, Realme's after-sales service system has not been fully established. This makes it difficult for users to obtain timely and effective solutions when encountering problems, which to some extent affects users' trust and loyalty to the Realme brand.
In summary, although the Realme GT7 Pro has excellent configurations, it has obvious deficiencies and controversies in terms of release timing, screen configuration, imaging capabilities, and design. Coupled with Realme's own brand issues and intensifying market competition, the market prospects for this new phone are not optimistic. Judging from the current situation, Realme's future development path is still full of challenges and uncertainties. If Realme cannot solve these problems as soon as possible and enhance its brand influence, its future development prospects will be even more worrying.
