Realme 7

Realme 7 Verdict

Brand: RealmeProduct: Realme 7Key specs: 6.5-inch super AMOLED display, Helio G95, 64MP primary camera, 30W dart chargePrice: ₹14,999Rating: 4/5Realme is a brand that needs no introduction, especially if you are living in India. Over the past several years, the company has earned quite a reputation for launching flagship-level phones every six months. The latest smartphone series to enter this chain is the Realme 7 series.The Realme 7 series consists of two smartphones: the Realme 7 Pro and the Realme 7, which is the star of today’s review. As far as the price goes, at ₹14,999 the Realme 7 sits comfortably between the Realme 6, which costs ₹13,999 and its ‘Pro’ sibling, the Realme 7.However, in terms of the specifications and performance, it leans more towards the Realme 6 delivering meaningful updates to the same. For instance, with the Realme 7, you not only get a better display but also a bigger battery. You also get a design that is way cooler and, might I add, way classier than the Realme 6.You also get some interesting step-ups compared to the Realme 7 Pro. You get a smarter 90Hz display, a bigger battery and a gaming processor with the Realme 7, things that remain amiss in the Pro variant. While that might seem like a shocker and even a bit confusing at times, but the fact is that it is those qualities that make the Realme 7 a better pick over its elder sibling.ALSO READ: Realme 7 Pro review: Something borrowed, something blue DesignRealme has gotten several things right in the case of its series 7 smartphones and design is surely one of them. The Realme 7, just like its Pro sibling, comes with a simple and subtle split-mirror design that is far more refined and classier than the Realme 6’s comet design and Realme 5’s diamond finish.The Realme 7 is available in Mist Blue and Mist White colour variants. It has got a plastic back with a frosted glass appeal that looks particularly soothing in the Mist White colour variant that I used. It also has the Gorilla Glass coating on top. While the Gorilla Glass coating does make it less fragile, it doesn’t make it immune to fingerprints. The good news, however, is that the back of the phone, especially the way the light reflects off the surface coupled with the transparent silicon cover that you get in the box makes the dust particles or the fingerprints hard to stick, which in turn helps to keep the phone mostly clean.

Realme 7 review: The better sibling

The Realme 7 has a classy design along with a camera setup that is almost at par with the Realme 7 Pro.
