realme GT7 Pro Review: Speed, Style, and Gaming Excellence at a Competitive Price
Released globally on November 4, 2024, the realme GT7 Pro makes a bold entry into the gaming-focused GT series. Packed with cutting-edge technology and sleek design, this flagship killer promises premium features at a competitive price point. Here’s an in-depth look at the GT7 Pro’s key specifications, standout features, drawbacks, and pricing in Bangladesh.
Key Features of the realme GT7 Pro
.
Design and Build Quality
The realm GT7 Pro boasts a refined and durable design, featuring a Gorilla Glass 7i front, Panda Glass back, and an aluminium frame. It is both stylish and tough, with IP68/IP69 certification, which provides resistance against dust and water (up to 2 meters for 30 minutes). This is a notable upgrade from the realm GT6’s IP65 rating, which offers less water protection.
At 222.8g, it is heavier than the competitor vivo iQOO 13 (213g) and Huawei nova 13 Pro (209g). However, the added weight gives it a solid, premium feel.
The GT7 Pro is ergonomic, with dimensions of 162.5 mm by 76.9 mm by 8.6 mm, though it might feel bulky for users accustomed to lighter phones.

The available colours—Mars Orange, Galaxy Grey, and White—cater to various style preferences.
Display Quality
The 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display on the realme GT7 Pro delivers an outstanding visual experience. With a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ support, and a peak brightness of 6,500 nits, the screen excels in indoor and outdoor settings. This is a significant improvement over the realme GT6, which has a peak brightness of 6,000 nits.
Compared to competitors, the GT7 Pro’s display is brighter and more vibrant than the Huawei nova 13 Pro. The vivo iQOO 13 offers a slightly larger display (6.82 inches), but its resolution and colour performance are on par with the GT7 Pro.
Camera Performance
The realme GT7 Pro is equipped with a triple-camera system featuring a 50MP (f/1.8) main sensor with OIS, a 50MP (f/2.7) telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, and an 8MP (f/2.2) ultra-wide lens. This setup delivers detailed and vibrant photos in various lighting conditions.

Its Night Mode and AI-assisted image processing ensure excellent low-light performance. When compared to the Huawei nova 13 Pro, which features a 50MP variable-aperture main sensor, the GT7 Pro holds its ground but slightly trails in terms of natural colour reproduction. However, the realme GT7 Pro’s telephoto lens with OIS outperforms the vivo iQOO 13’s 2x optical zoom for long-range shots.
The GT7 Pro’s rear sensor supports a maximum of 8K video recording at 24fps, which outwins the Huawei nova 13 Pro’s 4K video capacity.
Its 16MP (f/2.5) front camera offers decent selfies but it falls short in comparison with vivo iQOO 13’s 32MP sensor. On the other hand, the Huawei nova 13 Pro wins the race with its 60MP front sensor which is superior for selfies and wide-angle group shots.
Processor and Performance
The realme GT7 Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset (3nm), delivering cutting-edge performance for apps, multitasking, and heavy workloads. Its Adreno 830 GPU ensures smooth gameplay and high-end graphics rendering.

Compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in the realme GT6, the new chipset delivers a 15% boost in processing power. The vivo iQOO 13, which shares the same chipset, performs similarly but slightly edges out in sustained tasks due to better heat management. Meanwhile, the Huawei nova 13 Pro, with its HarmonyOS optimization, is more efficient for everyday productivity but lacks the brute power of the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
Software and User Interface
Running on realme UI 6.0, based on Android 15, the GT7 Pro offers a clean and user-friendly interface with plenty of customization options. The software is smooth, responsive, and free from lag.
In contrast, the Huawei nova 13 Pro, running HarmonyOS 4.2, provides excellent integration with Huawei’s ecosystem but lacks access to Google services, which may be a dealbreaker for some users. The vivo iQOO 13’s Funtouch OS 15 is similarly feature-rich but comes with more pre-installed bloatware compared to realme UI.
Storage Options
The realme GT7 Pro offers multiple storage variants, ranging from 256GB to 1TB, all paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM. The inclusion of UFS 4.0 storage ensures blazing-fast read and write speeds, making it a perfect choice for power users.

While the vivo iQOO 13 and Huawei nova 13 Pro also offer up to 1TB of storage, only the GT7 Pro features UFS 4.0 across all models, ensuring a faster experience.
Gaming Performance
The realme GT7 Pro is a powerhouse for gaming. It handles demanding titles like Genshin Impact and PUBG Mobile with ease, maintaining high frame rates and consistent performance. The advanced cooling system prevents overheating during extended sessions, an area where it surpasses the realme GT6, which experiences slight thermal throttling under heavy loads.
While the vivo iQOO 13 delivers similar gaming performance, the GT7 Pro's 6500mAh battery (international version) provides longer playtime, making it a better choice for marathon gaming sessions.
Battery Life
The 6500mAh battery in the international version of the realme GT7 Pro ensures all-day battery life, even with heavy usage. For Indian users, the phone comes with a slightly smaller 5800mAh variant, but it still offers excellent performance.

The 120W fast charging technology is a standout feature, allowing the phone to charge from 0 to 50% in just 13 minutes. This outpaces the Huawei nova 13 Pro, which supports 100W charging, and matches the vivo iQOO 13’s 120W speeds. The GT7 Pro charges fully in under 37 minutes, making it one of the fastest-charging phones in its class.
Huawei nova 13 Pro has a 5W reverse charging option which lacks in GT7 Pro and vivo iQOO 13.
