It features the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, boasting a 45% CPU performance improvement and a 40% GPU performance improvement, with two 4.32GHz super-cores and six 3.53GHz large cores. Its robust performance handles demanding applications effortlessly. To ensure sustained high-performance output, the Realme GT7 Pro premieres an 11480mm steel-plated dual VC cooling system, which Realme claims is its "most powerful cooling experience ever." Testing under 35 ambient temperature showed an average frame rate of 59.9 fps over two hours of a high-load turn-based mobile game test, and 60.1 fps over two hours of a large open-world mobile game test, demonstrating exceptional cooling and stable performance.

The Realme GT7 Pro features the world's first polarization-free straight-screen flagship, the Samsung Eco Sky Screen. Utilizing Samsung EcoOLED Plus technology, it eliminates the polarizing layer, resulting in 0 polarization of the emitted light, closely approximating the polarization-free state of natural light. This significantly reduces eye strain, offering a more comfortable viewing experience; Realme calls it the "endpoint of natural light eye protection." The Eco Sky Screen also boasts lower power consumption; official data indicates up to a 52% reduction in power consumption at the same brightness level.

This screen also uses a custom Samsung S2 flexible screen, featuring an industry-leading 120% DCI-P3 color gamut, a peak brightness of 2000 nits (officially claimed as the "industry's highest peak brightness"), and support for HDR high dynamic range and Dolby Vision, delivering vibrant and realistic visuals.

Limited), achieving an industry-leading 10% silicon content and supporting 120W light-speed charging (officially claimed to charge to 50% in 14 minutes). It incorporates a proprietary longevity algorithm to ensure a 4-year battery lifespan.

For performance optimization, the Realme GT7 Pro includes the GT Performance Engine + AI adaptive frequency adjustment technology, along with the Sky Communication System 2.0 and a proprietary self-developed dual-side high and low-frequency gaming antenna, ensuring stable and fast network connectivity. It also premieres 1.5K+120Hz super-frame super-resolution concurrent technology and 4D game vibration, offering leading compatibility with games like "Zenless Zone Zero" and supporting "Teamfight Tactics" at 120Hz high frame rate and ultimate picture quality, providing gamers with an ultimate gaming experience.

The imaging system comprises a new 50MP ultra-light-shadow periscope telephoto lens supporting AI telephoto super-resolution, 6x lossless zoom, and up to 120x zoom, delivering powerful photography capabilities.

The Realme GT7 Pro has an IP68+IP69K waterproof rating, a first-ever underwater photography mode, and an amphibious ultra-light-shadow periscope lens using a warship-style triple-fold periscope module. It supports underwater fingerprint unlocking, underwater tapping, underwater zoom, automatic water drainage upon exiting, direct camera activation, screen capture, and front/rear camera switching, providing a comprehensive underwater photography experience.

The Realme GT7 Pro runs Realme UI 6.0, offering 4 years of system updates and maintenance and 3 major Android version updates, with enhanced dynamic effects and parallel animations. System features include AI Portal 2.0, supporting drag-and-drop of WeChat files and WeChat address cards, as well as Realme Share, enabling file transfer with Apple devices for a more convenient user experience.

In summary, the Realme GT7 Pro, with its Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, periscope telephoto lens, Eco Sky Screen, 6500mAh large battery, and 120W fast charging, is one of the most worthwhile performance and imaging flagship phones available.
