Introduction
Realme is back with another mid-range refresh, and this time, the Realme 7 Pro arrives right on schedule — just six months after its predecessor. Instead of a massive overhaul, Realme has fine-tuned the formula, offering two fresh takes on the Realme 6 lineup.
The Realme 7 Pro doesn’t completely outshine the 6 Pro, but it does bring some interesting changes. The highlight? A stunning Super AMOLED display — though it sacrifices the 90Hz refresh rate. Realme actually let fans decide through social media polls, and the majority chose a 60Hz OLED over a 90Hz LCD.
It also trades in the telephoto lens and ultrawide selfie camera for stereo speakers and blazing-fast 65W SuperDart charging. With a slightly smaller frame, the phone keeps (and even improves) its 4,500mAh battery, promising a full charge in just 34 minutes. Let’s see how it holds up in real life.
Design, Build, and Handling
At first glance, the Realme 7 Pro feels just right — sleek, lightweight, and easy to grip. It’s compact enough to handle comfortably, with its 6.4-inch AMOLED display hitting the sweet spot between size and usability.
The frosted plastic back gives it a premium glass-like finish while being more durable and grippy. However, fingerprints are a constant battle. The matte-finished plastic frame complements the design nicely, adding to its sturdy feel.
Compared to the Realme 6 Pro, it’s noticeably shorter and 20 grams lighter — something you’ll feel instantly. The punch-hole front camera is also smaller and less distracting this time around, ditching the dual-lens cutout for a cleaner look.
Display
This is where Realme made a bold move. The Realme 7 Pro swaps its predecessor’s 90Hz LCD for a 60Hz Super AMOLED display. The 6.4-inch Full HD+ screen (1080 x 2400 pixels, 411ppi) delivers vibrant colors, deep blacks, and solid contrast.
While some may miss the high refresh rate, Realme says users preferred better colors and contrast over smoother scrolling. And for most people, that trade-off makes sense.
Brightness is impressive too — 460 nits manually and up to 585 nits with adaptive brightness. Streaming looks great thanks to Widevine L1 DRM support, meaning you can enjoy full HD quality on Netflix, Prime Video, and YouTube.
Battery Life
Realme has done a great job optimizing battery life. The 7 Pro packs a 4,500mAh battery (slightly larger than the 6 Pro’s 4,300mAh) alongside the power-efficient Snapdragon 720G chip.
In tests, it delivered over 16 hours of web browsing, 18 hours of video playback, and an overall endurance rating of 113 hours — a solid upgrade from the previous model. It easily lasts a full day of heavy use or even two days of moderate use.
Charging Speed
Charging is where the Realme 7 Pro truly shines. The 65W SuperDart charger is a beast — hitting 50% in just 12 minutes and a full 100% in around 34 minutes, exactly as Realme claims. It’s one of the fastest charging phones in its price segment, rivaling even some flagships.
Software
The Realme 7 Pro ships with Android 10 and Realme UI 1.0, offering a clean, near-stock Android experience with a few handy customizations.
The optical in-display fingerprint sensor is fast and accurate, and face unlock is quick (though less secure). The interface feels fluid, with features like Dark Mode, Always-On Display, and customizable icon packs for a personal touch.
Performance
Under the hood, the Realme 7 Pro packs the Snapdragon 720G, the same chipset used in the 6 Pro. It’s paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB UFS 2.1 storage in the European version.
Performance is smooth across the board — from multitasking to gaming. It handles daily tasks with ease and can run demanding games like PUBG Mobile and Call of Duty smoothly at medium to high settings.
Camera
The Realme 7 Pro sports a quad-camera setup:
- 64MP main sensor (Sony IMX682, f/1.8)
- 8MP ultrawide lens
- 2MP macro lens
- 2MP depth sensor
The 64MP main shooter delivers sharp, detailed photos with great dynamic range. Low-light shots are solid too, thanks to the Night Mode. The 8MP ultrawide camera performs well in daylight, though it struggles a bit in low light.
On the front, you get a 32MP selfie camera that captures bright, detailed selfies with good color balance.
Overall, photo quality is excellent for the price, and the AI enhancements (like Dazzle Color) add a punchy look — though sometimes a bit too much.
Verdict
The Realme 7 Pro nails the essentials — AMOLED display, fast performance, great battery life, and ridiculously fast charging — all wrapped in a stylish and compact design.
At around €300, it’s a strong contender in the crowded mid-range market. Yes, it drops a few features like the 90Hz screen and telephoto lens, but the upgrades easily make up for it.
If you want a phone that charges in minutes, looks premium, and performs consistently — the Realme 7 Pro is hard to ignore.
