In the world of smartphones, there are very few rivalries as prominent as the one Realme and Xiaomi share in India.
In less than three years, Realme has managed to dethrone Xiaomi on many occasions. Each month, they seem to jostle at different price bands in hopes of winning the masses’ pockets. With the 7 Pro,
the company aims to grab a piece of the Rs 20,000 segment with an offering that seems unmatchable in many ways.
When compared to its predecessor, the Realme 7 Pro brings changes to nearly every spec in both good and bad ways.
It seems as if it is looking to blur the line between flagships and mid-rangers in some ways, while being conservative in others.
The result is a very different mix that prioritizes user experience rather than specifications.
For starters, it is one of the cheapest phones with a Super AMOLED display. While it is better than its competitors visually,
that comes at a cost of going back to a standard 60Hz refresh rate. Similarly, it moves to a new 64MP camera stack but loses out on the telephoto lens which the 6 Pro boasted of.
Even the choice of materials and the battery capacity seem to be behind the competition,
but using it for hours daily rekindled my appreciation for lightweight phones. It more than makes up for the smaller battery with 65W fast charging,
making it the fastest charging phone in the country and even beating most flagships in this regard.
As evident by these changes, the Realme 7 Pro looks to democratize many features which were previously unseen in this sub-Rs 20,000 segment. With them,
it successfully manages to deliver a reliable and consistent experience, making it an easy phone to recommend.
Just be vary that the competition might not be too far. For now, it gets a strong recommendation from us.
