The highly anticipated realme 7 series hits UK shores today, as the world’s fastest-growing smartphone brand, realme, brings its leap-forward experience to Europe. It features leading-edge cameras and the fastest charging technology in the price segment. Both realme 7 and realme 7 Pro are the first devices to have passed the TÜV Rheinland Smartphone Reliability Verification, containing 22 major and 38 minor tests, and covering many common usage scenarios.
“Here at realme we endeavor to bring our leap-forward spirit and quality to young tech consumers” Madhav Sheth, Vice President of realme, CEO of realme Europe and India said: “realme’s constant pursuit of high quality has been applied to the design and production of the realme 7 series, making both the realme 7 and the realme 7 Pro the ever first smartphones to pass TüV Rheinland Smartphone Reliability Verification. We’ve raised the bar when it comes to quality to further improve overall reliability, which is aligned with our promise to provide first-class quality products to our consumers around the world.”

With its ample 6.5-inch screen, 90Hz refresh rate and shiny new MediaTek Helio G95 chipset, it reads well on paper, fending off competition from comparably priced phones. Fire it up and the 90Hz display is a great introduction to the Realme 7 experience, even if it’s combined with LCD technology. No, it isn’t the finest screen we’ve seen – it’s a touch washed out at certain angles and the Realme 7 Pro’s OLED panel wipes the floor with it.
Both realme 7 and realme 7 Pro are available for pre-order from now on realme.com/uk and Amazon UK

realme 7 Pro
Oddly, Realme chose to drop the high refresh-rate display when moving from the 6 Pro to the 7 Pro, in exchange for an upgrade from LCD to OLED, a change apparently informed by user feedback. The Pro’s display is also fractionally smaller, while the battery is 500mAh smaller than the 7’s too – but elsewhere it’s a clear upgrade, with better cameras, faster charging, and a Qualcomm processor.
