Following the successful debut of the Realme GT7 Pro in November 2023, which redefined flagship affordability with its Snapdragon 8 Supreme Edition chipset, Realme has announced the imminent release of its upgraded variant: the Realme GT7 Pro Racing Edition. Touted as a “pure-blooded performance flagship,” the device will prioritize raw power, battery efficiency, and gaming capabilities over advanced imaging features.
Performance-Centric Design for Enhanced Value
According to Chase Xu, Vice President of Realme, the GT7 Pro Racing Edition will strip away the periscope telephoto lens found in the standard GT7 Pro while retaining most core specifications. This strategic adjustment is expected to lower the price, positioning it as the most affordable Snapdragon 8 Elite phone on the market. Targeted at users who prioritize performance over photography, the Racing Edition aims to deliver exceptional value.
Key Specifications and Features
Leaked details suggest the Racing Edition will retain the GT7 Pro’s standout hardware:
Display: A 6.78-inch Samsung Eco2 Horizon Display with 120Hz LTPO 8T adaptive refresh rate (1Hz–120Hz), 2780×1264 resolution, 450 PPI, and 120% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage. The screen boasts a peak brightness of 2000nit, ideal for outdoor visibility.
Performance: Equipped with Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 8 Supreme Edition processor for seamless multitasking and gaming.
Battery: A massive 6500mAh Titan Battery for extended usage, though it remains unclear if the 120W fast charging and 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor from the GT7 Pro will carry over.
Final Thoughts
The Realme GT7 Pro Racing Edition caters to gamers and power users seeking flagship-tier performance without premium imaging extras. By focusing on core specs and aggressive pricing, Realme continues to challenge competitors in the high-value flagship segment. Further details, including final pricing and feature confirmations, will be unveiled at the official launch event later this month.
