New realme GT 7 Pro flagship with Snapdragon 8 Elite launched at RM3,699 in Malaysia
realme has come in entirely from left field with the launch of the first phone in Malaysia to pack the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. Dubbed the realme GT 7 Pro, the flagship phone packs a surprising punch with a host of powerful features that can give incumbent brands a run for their money.
In terms of hardware, the specifications of the realme GT 7 Pro are a literal checklist of what to include in a flagship phone. Befitting its pedigree, it has a flagship-grade 6.78-inch RealWorld Eco2 Display from Samsung’s own foundries. The display features FHD+ (2,870 x 1,264) pixels, an impressive 120% DCI-P3 which means that it exceeds the colour gamut needed for content creators, has a 120Hz refresh rate and has a whopping 6,500 nits peak brightness which is among the brightest smartphone displays to date in the market.
For Malaysia, realme is sticking to just one storage configuration for the realme GT 7 Pro with the phone packing 12GB RAM and 512GB of storage. As mentioned, the phone runs the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and has a 11,480mm2 vapour chamber to keep the hardware cool while running the latest Android 15 and their one realme UI 6.0 firmware under the hood.
The rear sports a respectable camera setup with a 50MP main camera with OIS, a secondary telephoto camera also with OIS and an 8MP Ultra wide angle camera capable of up to 8K@24fps video capture. Up front, it has a single 16MP selfie camera. Of note is that the phone has a special underwater photo mode that lets you capture snaps in up to about 2 metres of fresh water which works out to the average swimming pool.
Keeping the phone ticking along is a large 6,500mAh battery, which is one of the largest seen in a smartphone with fast 120W wired charging though there is no wireless charging available.
