Realme GT7 Pro starts at 3999 Yuan! Flagship price war with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for the win?

While everyone is speculating about the price of the Xiaomi 15 series, the industry has suddenly thrown in a bombshell. The first Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 model with a revealed price isn't the Xiaomi 15, but rather the Realme GT7 Pro. And it happened so suddenly, right before the Xiaomi 15 series launch. The news came from an online retail platform, specifically the Realme flagship store, revealing the starting price of the Realme GT7 Pro to be 3999 Yuan. This information is quite explosive, and I believe everyone understands what it means. With all the flagships raising their prices recently, exceeding 4000 Yuan across the board, it's unexpected that the Realme GT7 Pro would be priced at 3999 Yuan.

However, don't be surprised. Compared to the previous generation, this price increase is significant. The previous generation Realme GT5 Pro started at 3299 Yuan for a limited time, meaning this is a direct increase of 700 Yuan. This price increase is even larger than the Vivo X200 series and the OPPO Find X8 series. Of course, this price might be a smoke screen, and the actual price could be lower.

Compared to products in the same price range, the Realme GT7 Pro actually has some unique selling points. For instance, it is the only model in the same range with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 that supports periscope telephoto, a custom Samsung screen, and ultrasonic fingerprint scanning. It also boasts a massive 6500mAh battery with 120W wired fast charging support.

Of course, due to factors like brand influence, the Realme GT7 Pro's competition won't be the flagship of its parent brand. It will likely be competing with sub-brand models in the same range, such as the iQOO 13, Redmi K80 Pro, and so on. This will depend on how these models are priced. However, the iQOO 13 is the first to be launched in the sub-series, followed by OnePlus 13, and then the Realme GT7 Pro.

Ultimately, the performance of the product and the choices and strategies of its competitors will be key. Unveiling the price at this point can have a significant impact, at least it will disrupt the pricing strategies of competing models in the same range. However, Realme has a reputation for being a price killer in the Chinese market, just like the Realme GT5 Pro last year. Who would have thought that the starting price would be as low as 3299 Yuan?

The Realme GT7 Pro's pricing strategy is undoubtedly a bombshell for the entire smartphone market. Will it be able to cut through the intensely competitive flagship market with its price advantage and powerful hardware? Let's wait and see.
