Realme’s GT series is once again making waves in the smartphone space. Following the recent appearance of the Realme GT 7 on various certification and benchmarking sites, a new leak suggests the phone could be launching very soon. At the same time, early details about the Realme GT 8 Pro are starting to surface, promising serious upgrades for the performance-hungry crowd.
While the company has yet to officially confirm launch dates for either model, tipsters have revealed a lot about what we might expect.
GT7
The upcoming Realme GT 7 is reportedly packing some impressive specs under the hood. According to popular tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the phone will likely feature the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ chipset, a top-tier processor that aims to rival Qualcomm’s best offerings.
One of the standout features? The battery. The leak suggests that the GT 7 will come with a massive “7X00mAh” battery — which likely translates to a capacity somewhere above 7,000mAh. That would be a significant jump from the Realme GT 6, which houses a 5,800mAh unit.
Charging
Alongside the huge battery, Realme isn’t skimping on charging speeds either. The Realme GT 7 is tipped to support 100W wired fast charging, ensuring users won’t have to wait too long for a full top-up.
Although the charging speed is a slight downgrade from the GT 6’s 120W charging, the increased battery size may make up for it in overall usage time. It’s all about finding the right balance between power and convenience.
Display
The Realme GT 7 is also expected to sport a flat display, ditching the curved edges seen on its predecessor. The GT 6 featured a micro-curved screen, which gave it a sleeker look but isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. The GT 7 seems to be going for a flatter, possibly more practical design.
In terms of build, it’s said to be slimmer and lighter than the GT 6, which weighs 206 grams and has an 8.43mm thickness. That should make the phone more comfortable for everyday use without sacrificing its high-performance DNA.
Launch
According to the same leak, we might not have to wait long for the Realme GT 7. The device is likely to debut in China in April. This fits Realme’s typical release pattern, considering the GT 6 launched in China in July 2024.
Here’s a quick comparison of GT 6 and expected GT 7 specs:
| Feature | Realme GT 6 | Realme GT 7 (Expected) |
|---|---|---|
| Chipset | Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 | MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ |
| Battery | 5,800mAh | 7,000mAh+ |
| Charging Speed | 120W | 100W |
| Display | Micro-curved | Flat |
| Weight | 206g | Lighter than 206g |
| Thickness | 8.43mm | Thinner than 8.43mm |
GT8Pro
Moving on to the Realme GT 8 Pro, leaks are just beginning to trickle in — but they’re already getting attention. According to another Weibo tipster, Smart Pikachu, the phone might be powered by a yet-to-be-announced Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset. That means it could become one of the first devices to debut Qualcomm’s next-gen flagship SoC.
The GT 8 Pro is also expected to sport a flat OLED screen with a stunning 2K resolution, making it ideal for gamers and media lovers alike. It may include a 7,000mAh battery as well, matching the expected capacity of the GT 7.
Extras
The Realme GT 8 Pro might also feature an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor — a step above the usual optical sensors in terms of speed and accuracy. On the camera front, it’s tipped to include a periscope telephoto shooter, giving it an edge in zoom capabilities.
While there’s no word yet on the GT 8 Pro’s official launch, these leaks point to a device that could easily compete with the best Android flagships later this year.
