  • Review Summary

    Realme 7 Pro offers some good set of specs like the OLED display, stereo speakers and the 65 Watts fast charging but it misses out on others like the 90Hz refresh rate and the telephoto lens which were present on the Realme 6 Pro. Moreover, the performance remains the same with Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G, although battery life is extended.

  • Introduction - A Slight Upgrade

    Realme comes up with new launches of its mid-range series every six months, and the new series 7 was launched on September 3, 2020. The new Realme 7 Pro packs in some good specs for an upgrade but it also misses out on some specifications over its predecessor, the Realme 6 Pro. It has a new super AMOLED display over the IPS LCD, but the screen refresh rate is the standard 60Hz as compared to the faster 90 Hz refresh rate on the Realme 6 Pro. It brings with it the 65-watt Superdart charging but has the same old chipset, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G (though an efficient and powerful chipset) as present on the earlier model. Overall, the Realme 7 Pro is like a slightly different take on the 6 Pro rather than a full-blown upgrade.

    Price in India, Variants, Availability

    The Realme 7 Pro comes in two variants 6GB RAM and 128GB of storage and 8GB RAM and 128GB of storage. You can choose among the two colour options available, Mirror Blue and Mirror Silver. Realme has also introduced a new Sun Kissed Leather variant which was added a month later of the launch. The device is available on both Flipkart and Amazon India with a price tag of ₹19,999/- for the 6GB+128GB variant and ₹21,999/- for the 8GB+128GB variant.

    Flipkart is offering a buy with an exchange offer with an exchange value of up to ₹14,500 on your old device, along with other deals and discounts. It includes 5% off on Axis Bank Buzz credit card, and no-cost EMI option is also available.

    Verdict

    The Realme 7 Pro offers some good set of specs like the OLED display, stereo speakers and the 65 watts fast charging but it misses out on others like the 90Hz refresh rate and the telephoto lens which were present on the 6 Pro. Moreover, the performance remains the same, although battery life is extended.

    Realme has improved its image processing in low light photography and the Night mode photos shot by the primary camera are really impressive. The front camera could have been better in terms of software as the sensor is quite capable. It would have been better if Realme had gone for a triple camera setup which includes the primary camera, the ultrawide and the telephoto lens for optical zoom rather than having the quad-camera setup where the macro and the depth camera are not that useful.

    In terms of design, there is a slight downgrade as the back panel on the Realme 7 Pro is Plastic as compared to the glass back of the 6 Pro. But the design doesn’t feel cheap either. The matte finish split design on the back gives it the premium feel of a flagship device which it is not. Also, the weight balance is done just right, and the device is handy with an exemplary 6.4-inch display.

    So if you are looking for a device in the sub 20K price segment with a good performance, a great(OLED) display and a handy design, you can surely consider the Realme 7 pro. But if you prefer higher refresh rate and are more into gaming, then the POCO X3 with its 120Hz display and a bigger 6,000mAh battery can be a great option too at a slightly lower price of 16,999. The Realme 7 can also be another alternative with an equally good camera and a 6.5-inch LCD display with 90Hz refresh rate at just 14,999 for the 6GB+64GB variant.
