The realme GT7 Pro has already had several leaks, revealing its key specifications. According to these leaks, the device will feature a 6.7 or 6.8-inch Samsung-made 1.5K micro-quad-curve display, with a global peak brightness of 2,000 Nits. The phone will also come with a 6,500 mAh battery and support for 120W fast charging.
