This has been confirmed by realme Vice President Chase Xu on Twitter, with the global launch of the GT7 Pro happening on November 18 and the India launch happening on November 26. While it is expected to launch in countries like Malaysia and Thailand, it’s still not clear if the GT7 Pro will go official in the Philippines. realme Philippines Country Head Jacky Chen did share photos of the GT7 Pro last week, so we’re optimistic at a possible local launch within the end of the year.
Aside from using a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and having a stunning Mars Orange colorway, what makes the GT7 Pro interesting is its huge 6500mAh battery that supports 120w charging, making it the best possible combination among flagship phones right now. Other notable features include a 50-megapixel 3x periscope camera, IP68/69 rating, and Android 15-based realmeUI 6.0 out of the box.
