Realme GT70 (Neo 7) A 2025 Mid-Range Powerhouse with a 7000mAh battery?
The Realme Neo 7, launching in India as the Realme GT70 in early February promises a significant improvement in the market for mid-range smartphones. This comprehensive review is based on an initial review of the Chinese version, shows the phone’s focus on efficiency and longevity of battery however, it does have some shortcomings regarding camera quality. Let’s get into the specifics.
Unboxing and First Impressions:
The unboxing experience comes with an transparent case (a refreshing departure from the previous clear cases) along with documentation, as well as an 80W charger that includes an USB Type-A to Type C cable. The phone is noticeably heavy, weighing 215.6g which is easily justified by the amazing 7000mAh battery. An original “mock drop test” on wood demonstrates the phone’s claimed robustness with the reviewer’s description of their “crystal armour glass”.
Stunning Display and Flagship-Level Performance:
The Realme GT70 boasts a captivating 6.78-inch 1.5K resolution LTPO display that has 120Hz of adaptive refresh rate, and a maximum intensity of 1400 Nits (HBM setting). This results in vibrant colors and stunning clarity, making it the perfect choice for gaming and media consumption. This visual feast is powered by the Dimensity 9300+ processor, which delivers flagship-level performance. Antutu scores are higher than 2.1 million. Although the processor does a fantastic job but the reviewer has some issues with GPU slowdowns and more-than-ideal temperatures under intense loads. The phone comes with LPDDR5X memory and UFS 4.0 storage, which allows for seamless multitasking as well as fast app loading.
Exceptional Battery Life and Fast Charging:
The battery’s capacity of 7000mAh is an outstanding feature. While many phones offer similar capacity but the GT70 is unique due to its fast charging capability of 80W and promises significantly shorter charges. The reviewer predicts a two-day battery time on one charge.
Camera: A Compromised Area:
Although it is true that the Realme GT70 excels in display and performance however, the camera system is an apparent flaw. The Chinese version comes with the main sensor with 51MP and a Sony IMX882 second sensor, whereas the Indian model will be using the Sony LYT600 8MP ultrawide sensor. The 16-megapixel camera for selfies is included in the set. The reviewer offers an Google Drive link to sample photos, and notes that although great but the skin tone optimization will likely be improved with the Indian version. Video recording in 4K is supported.

The Chinese version starts at about 2099 Yuan (approximately 27,000-28,000) and the Indian Realme GT70 expected to be slightly more expensive, at the Rs30,000 mark or less. This price puts it in a competitive position with other flagships in the mid-range.
Conclusion:
