Realme GT7 Pro With Snapdragon 8 Elite Breaks Sales Record For The First Day

JAKARTA - Realme GT7 Pro managed to set a record for the company's first day of sales for all new products just 24 hours after its launch in China. The phone is priced at 3,599 Yuan (around Rp7.9 million) for the 12GB RAM variant and 256GB of storage, which demonstrates its popularity as a device with extraordinary value thanks to impressive specifications.

However, for smartphone enthusiasts from outside the horror bamboo curtain, the Realme GT7 Pro is also available for imports through platforms like Giztop for around US$619 (Rp9.8 million) outside China.

The phone is equipped with the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, a 6,500mAh Si-C battery with a fast charging of 120W, as well as a special eye shield screen from Samsung that offers a higher peak brightness than most of its competitors. The GT7 Pro also stands out with Qualcomm's 3D ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, a feature that is rarely found in this price range.

The Realme GT7 Pro is designed with superior specifications for performance and media enthusiasts. The Samsung Eco2 Plus 6.78-inch OLED screen with a 2K resolution provides sharp visuals and smooth scrolling at 120Hz refresh rate. The new panel is claimed to reduce power consumption by 52%, making it ideal for long-term use without compromising quality. In addition, eye protection technology on the screen reduces tensions when used for a long time.

In terms of performance, the Snapdragon 8 Elite brings significant improvements to CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs compared to their predecessors. Realme complements this phone with a dual VC 11480mm2 cooling system, which is claimed to provide the "strongest heat disposal experience" in real use.

Although preliminary tests showed thermal thrusting problems while running benchmarks, Realme said it was caused by an inaccurate software setup and would be fixed in the upcoming software update.

In terms of cameras, GT7 Pro comes with a 50MP main sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS), 3x periscope zoom lens, as well as ultra-wide and macro options, providing versatile photography capabilities. The phone also has dust and IP69 water resistance certification, enabling underwater photography, an interesting feature even for flagship devices.

The large 6,500mAh battery and 120W charging minimize charging time, reaching 50% in just 14 minutes.

Overall, the Realme GT7 Pro brings together high-end components at affordable prices, which contribute to record sales. Import availability makes it attractive to global users, offering attractive options in the mid-range premium market
