Flagship killers are becoming very competitive these days, and we firmly believe that the realme GT 7 is among the solid options available in the Philippines. It may not be the popular option, but the GT 7 has solid features that should get your attention if you’re looking for a flagship killer that offers value for money.
Let’s start of with the battery, which is the GT 7’s biggest strength. At 7000mAh, it is one of the biggest batteries we’ve seen on any phone, and it shows: using it as our daily driver, it’s easy to use the GT 7 for two days before needing to charge it–and that’s a feat for any flagship killer. The GT 7 is not just all about having a big battery: it matches that with 120w wired charging, making it a dream combination for those who want the best of both worlds.
As a flagship killer, the GT 7 has the internals to boot: Dimensity 9400e, up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM, and 512GB UFS 4.0 storage. Critics underestimate the potential of the Dimensity 9400e, and our tests prove that it’s performance is in between the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Snapdragon 8 Elite, making it a good processor of choice if you’re into heavy gaming. Running titles like Genshin Impact at the highest settings is a breeze for the GT 7 thanks to additional cooling provided by its IceSense graphene back cover. Heavy gamers will appreciate the GT 7’s bypass charging feature, which allows them to power the board directly while playing to preserve battery health.
Proper flagship killers are an all-rounder with their cameras, and the GT 7 delivers with its main camera that uses an IMX906 sensor and has OIS, an 8-megapixel ultrawide, and a 50-megapixel telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom. During our time with the GT 7, we found the cameras to be very capable especially for the main shooter that can shoot 8K videos if you want to future-proof your content. realme’s suite of HyperImage+ features give you tools to refine your images before posting them on social media.
Of course, the GT 7’s flagship killer cred is not complete without talking about its display: it’s a top-end LTPO AMOLED panel with 120hz refresh rate and an insane 6000nits peak brightness, making the GT 7’s display legible even if you’re using it outdoors. You also have goodies like HDR10+, Dolby Vision Support, and Widevine L1 for all your video binging needs, and its stereo speakers are at par with other flagship killers in terms of audio quality.
To round it all up, realme means serious business when it comes to software: aside from having Android 15-based realmeUI 6.0 out of the box, realme promises 4 Android updates and 6 years of security updates on the GT 7, ensuring users a good update commitment that’s deserving for a flagship killer.
The realme GT 7 is priced at Php 37,999 for the 12GB/512GB variant and Php 39,999 for the 16GB/512GB Dream Edition variant. The GT 7 is available at all authorized realme stores nationwide and online at their official Shopee store.Â
