Realme GT7 Pro: Price, Launch Date, and New Features Revealed
Realme’s highly anticipated GT7 Pro flagship is set to launch on November 4, with pre-orders already open in China. According to a recent leak, the Realme GT7 Pro will start at CNY3,999, which is approximately $560 or €520, marking a 15% increase from its predecessor, the GT5 Pro, which launched at CNY3,399 last year.
Enhanced Specs and Premium Features
The Realme GT7 Pro boasts an advanced Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and a new Samsung Eco2 OLED display, promising high-end performance and vivid visuals. It’s expected to come with an impressive 6,500mAh battery and 120W fast charging, enabling users to charge their devices swiftly. Additionally, the GT7 Pro features an IP69 rating, ensuring durability against dust and water, and three powerful cameras designed for high-quality photography.

Competitive Pricing Strategy Amid Inflation Concerns
Our sources suggest that the price increase could be attributed to the premium hardware enhancements. This aligns with recent trends, as brands like Xiaomi are also adjusting prices for their latest models, with the Xiaomi 15 series and Redmi K80 lineup expected to see a CNY600-700 ($100) hike. This surge comes despite China’s low inflation rate, which has stayed below 1% for nearly a year, showing that premium smartphones are becoming a priority for consumers.

Realme’s Timing with Singles Day Shopping Festival
Launching a week ahead of Singles Day (11.11), the GT7 Pro release is strategically timed to tap into China’s largest shopping event. With the premium smartphone market growing, as per IDC’s recent report, Realme’s pricing approach could either draw attention to the GT7 Pro’s advanced specs or drive consumers toward more budget-friendly alternatives.

As we approach the launch, Realme’s decision to elevate its flagship’s base price raises the stakes, setting the GT7 Pro as a strong contender in the competitive premium segment.
