Realme GT 7 Pro first impression: India's first Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered smartphone has finally been launched with the Realme GT 7 Pro. The smartphone has been creating a huge buzz among tech enthusiasts as many wish to experience the new flagship chipset by Qualcomm. Additionally, Realme's GT series smartphones are popular for bringing performance-centric smartphones, therefore launching a new generation model with the latest chipset was a smart move by the company. However, the title of claiming the “first” in the market could be tricky as several competitors are yet to make their debut.

I have been using the China variant of the Realme GT 7 Pro for over 3 weeks now to examine the chipset's performance, its integration with the device, camera capabilities, AI features, and more. So, here's my first impression of the Realme GT 7 Pro.

The Realme GT 7 Pro comes in two colour variants: Mars Orange and Galaxy Grey, both looking stunning when it comes to design. The smartphone is built with matte glass and aluminium, giving it a premium look, yet it is quite slippery and attracts dust. One of its key design features is that it has received an IP69 rating, enabling the device to be submerged 2 meters underwater for about 30 minutes. Overall, the Realme GT 7 Pro design is premium and sturdy, which definitely meets expectations.

In terms of display features and viewing experience, the GT 7 Pro features a 6.78-inch 8T LTPO+Eco2 OLED Plus display with 120Hz refresh rate and up to 6500nit peak brightness. The display is quite exceptional when it comes to the viewing experience as it brings punchy visuals with vibrant colours and detailing. It's equally fast and responsive, however, it sometimes stutters when switching between apps instantly.
