realme GT 7 Pro with next generation Snapdragon 8 Elite coming to Malaysia 18 November 2024

Smartphone purveyor realme will be the first to deploy a phone with the next generation Snapdragon 8 Elite aka the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset in Malaysia. Dubbed the realme GT 7 Pro, the flagship phone is slated for imminent deployment in a gala launch at the Piazza at Pavilion Bukit Jalil mall this coming 18 November 2024.

realme GT 7 Pro specifications and details

While official details are scarce about the exact configuration of hardware for its Malaysia debut, the official China launch of the realme GT 7 Pro has shared what specifications and hardware it has in broad strokes.

At its China debut, the realme GT 7 Pro was spotted with orange, black and white colourways though official images shared for the local market only have the black and orange hued variants which likely infers that the white one colourway may not be coming to Malaysia. Regardless of colour the realme GT 7 Pro will have IP68/69 dust and water resistance.

The rest of the hardware on the realme GT 7 Pro consists of a 6.78-inch Eco2 OLED display co-developed with Samsung with a 120Hz refresh rate, 2,780 x 1,264 pixels resolution and a peak brightness of up to 6,000 nits. 

Powering the realme GT 7 Pro is the cutting edge Snapdragon 8 Elite processor with up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage depending on region. While it is confirmed to be coming to Malaysia this coming 18 November 2024, the exact storage and RAM configuration remains a subject of speculation. What is certain is that the phones will run Android 15 overlaid with Realme UI 6.0 along with a slew of sophisticated Next AI capabilities.

The rear of the phone will have a triple 50MP camera array built around a primary 50MP F/1.8 main camera with a Sony IMX906 sensor and OIS, a 50MP F/2.65 telephoto camera with a Sony IMX882 sensor and OIS as well as an 8MP ultrawide camera with a Sony IMX355. Of note here is that the phone has a special underwater photography mode. Keeping the phone juiced is a 6,500mAh battery with 120W wired fast charging.
