Realme is ready to kick off a new flagship chapter with the GT 7, launching in China on April 23. And yes — it’s going big on battery without going bulky.
Let’s break down what makes this phone stand out.
7200mAh Battery? That’s Huge for a Flagship
The headline feature here is clear: a 7200mAh battery. That’s one of the largest batteries we’ve seen in any premium phone this year.
For comparison:
- The GT 6 had a 5500mAh battery.
- Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra? Just 5000mAh.
- Even Xiaomi’s rumored 7000mAh phone hasn’t launched yet.
Despite the massive capacity, Realme says the GT 7 remains slim at 8.25mm and weighs just 203g. That’s lighter than many phones with smaller batteries.
You’ll also get 100W fast charging, so refilling that huge battery shouldn’t take too long. Expect minimal downtime even with heavy use.
A Smarter Way to Cool Down
Realme is introducing what it calls an industry-first thermal design. The phone features a “graphene fiberglass fusion” back panel — a material that reportedly conducts heat six times better than normal glass.
That’s a big claim. If true, it could help the GT 7 stay cooler during long gaming sessions or intensive multitasking. We’ll need to see real-world tests, but it sounds promising.
Smooth Display with Pro-Grade Touch
Leaked specs suggest the GT 7 will sport a flat 144Hz BOE-made display with minimal bezels — perfect for gamers and fast scrollers alike. It’s also expected to come with an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner under the screen, offering faster and more accurate unlocks than optical versions.
The display size hasn’t been confirmed yet, but we’re expecting something around 6.7 inches.
Built Tough, With a Touch of Plastic
Realme’s using a plastic middle frame this time around — a bit of a downgrade in premium feel, but it may help keep the weight down. What’s more impressive is the rumored IP69 water and dust resistance. That rating is rare even among flagships, especially at this price tier.
MediaTek’s Flagship 3nm Chip Inside
The Realme GT 7 will reportedly be powered by MediaTek’s new Dimensity 9400+, a 3nm chip built for high-end performance and efficiency. It’s expected to compete with the best Qualcomm has to offer.
How Much Will It Cost?
The GT 6 launched at 2799 yuan (~$386) with a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 — a solid chip, but not quite flagship level.
With the Dimensity 9400+, advanced thermal design, and that massive battery, a slight price bump is expected. Still, Realme is likely to keep it under 3000 yuan (~$415) to stay competitive in China.
Final Thoughts: A Battery Beast That Doesn’t Bulk Up
If Realme delivers on its promises, the GT 7 could be one of the most practical flagship phones of 2025 — combining big power, smart cooling, and fast performance in a sleek design.
Stay tuned for the official reveal on April 23. We’ll be watching closely to see if this battery champ lives up to the hype.
