The Realme GT 7 Pro will debut in November, the first-ever flagship phone equipped with Qualcomm’s cutting-edge Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset in India. This flagship device sets new industry standards for performance, firmly positioning Realme at the forefront of the high-end smartphone market.

This advanced architecture and optimised tuning is speculated to deliver exceptional power, setting a new standard for AI-driven performance in smartphones.
As the first 8 Elite flagship to be launched in the Indian market, the realme GT 7 Pro is set to showcase top-tier performance in the Android flagship category. Realme claims, “With the industry’s highest Antutu benchmark score surpassing 3 million, this new device isn’t just about raw power, it represents a seamless fusion of speed, efficiency, and intelligent AI integration. By integrating the Snapdragon 8 Elite, Realme is committed to delivering an uncompromised user experience.”
Qualcomm also announced that companies such as Samsung Electronics, Asustek Computer, and Xiaomi, among others, will be utilising the new chip.
Earlier reports suggest that the Realme GT 7 Pro may feature a Samsung-sourced quad micro-curved display with DC dimming. It is expected to include a 50-megapixel main camera alongside a periscope telephoto lens, though details about the latter remain unclear. Realme appears to be retaining an 8-megapixel ultra-wide sensor, similar to previous models, and may include a 50 MP front camera. This camera setup closely resembles that of the Realme 13 Pro+.
The device is anticipated to offer IP69 dust and water resistance, an in-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, and a sleek design with a thickness of approximately 9mm.
Additionally, the smartphone is rumoured to be powered by a 6,500mAh battery with 120W fast charging capabilities.
As a flagship device, it will be powered by the forthcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite (or Snapdragon 8 Gen 4) processor. The design is expected to be slightly different, featuring a square camera module that houses all the lenses and the flash.
The device is likely to feature a 6.78-inch 1.5K BOE X2 display with a punch-hole cutout and slim bezels.
