A smartphone that not only promises raw power, but truly understands mobile gamers? That's exactly what Realme set out to achieve with the launch of the GT7 Pro , and if you ask me, it's more than achieved it. In a market saturated with inflated promises and benchmarks, this new device appears to be a real coup for those who live with a (digital) controller in their hands. But what makes it so special?
Join me as I discover why this model not only competes with the big players, but redefines what a gaming smartphone should be in 2025.
What makes the Realme GT7 Pro unique?
When it comes to mobile gaming , it's not enough to have a powerful processor. You need balance, intelligent design, long-lasting battery life, and, of course, an experience that doesn't knock you off your game just as you're about to achieve your personal best. Realme seems to have listened to each of those needs.
Here are some of the reasons why the GT7 Pro is causing so much noise:
-
Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor with enhanced liquid cooling.
-
6.8” AMOLED display with 165Hz refresh rate.
-
5500 mAh battery with 150W ultra-fast charging.
-
Gaming-optimized software with extreme performance mode.
-
Ergonomic gamer design : more comfortable for long sessions.
But let's not just look at the spec sheet. Let's break it down with real-life examples.
Real gaming experience: beyond marketing
I recently had the chance to try out the Realme GT7 Pro in an exclusive demo of PUBG Mobile and Genshin Impact … and boy, did things get serious.
The first thing I noticed? The screen is a delight. Vivid colors, console-like fluidity, and zero lag. Even in battles where everything exploded at once, the processor held its own. There was no overheating or performance drops.
And the battery? I played for almost three hours straight without even plugging it in. And when I finally did, it went from 12% to 100% in just 18 minutes. Yes, I timed it.
These kinds of details make a difference, especially if you're competing or participating in mobile tournaments, where any delay can cost you the game.
Quick comparison: How does it compare to the Asus ROG Phone 8 and the RedMagic 9 Pro?
| Feature | Realme GT7 Pro | Asus ROG Phone 8 | RedMagic 9 Pro |
|---|---|---|---|
| Processor | Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 | Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 | Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 |
| Screen | 6.8” AMOLED 165Hz | 6.78” AMOLED 165Hz | 6.8” AMOLED 120Hz |
| Battery | 5500 mAh / 150W | 6000 mAh / 65W | 6000 mAh / 80W |
| Estimated price in Chile | $699,990 CLP | $949,990 CLP | $799,990 CLP |
The Realme GT7 Pro is positioned as a killer value option. And yes, it sacrifices a bit on battery life compared to the other two, but the charging speed more than makes up for it.
And what about augmented and virtual reality?
Although it's not its main flagship, the GT7 Pro is prepared for the future: compatibility with VR headsets , sensors optimized for immersive experiences, and minimal latency thanks to its latest-generation graphics chip.
This also makes it an interesting ally for those who enjoy the mobile metaverse or educational apps with AR. It's not just for shooter gamers; it's a versatile tool.
Is the GT7 Pro worth buying in Chile?
If you're looking for a smartphone for gaming without compromise , that doesn't cost a fortune and can also serve as your main phone for everyday use, the answer is a resounding yes .
Plus, considering the growing number of mobile e-sports tournaments in the Chilean market and the rapidly growing gaming community, the GT7 Pro arrives at just the right time.
Tips if you plan to buy it
