Realme 7 Pro Review - Almost a perfect midranger!

**Realme 7 Pro Review: A Mid-Range Powerhouse**

The Realme 7 Pro is a mid-range smartphone that has been making waves in the market with its impressive camera capabilities, superior display, and fast charging technology. In this review, we'll dive into the details of this device and see if it's worth spending your money on.

**Camera Performance: A Key Selling Point**

One of the standout features of the Realme 7 Pro is its camera performance. The phone is equipped with a dual-camera setup, which includes a primary camera and a macro lens. We tested both cameras against each other, using the same Sony sensor as the POCO X3, and found that the details on both devices were pretty much the same. However, we noticed that the Realme 7 Pro's images had a better dynamic range and pleasing color scheme, making it a more favorable option for landscape photography.

In terms of portrait mode, the Realme 7 Pro excels, with its ability to capture a really good sky and maintain subject skin tones nicely. The macro lens, on the other hand, is not as useful, and we can't help but feel that a telephoto zoom lens would have been a better addition.

However, when it comes to self-portraits, both devices suffer from an unusual red tint in their images. While the Realme 7 Pro can maintain better background colors than the POCO X3, neither device is able to achieve good dynamic range and exposure in the background. Nighttime images also favor the POCO X3, with better details and natural-looking colors.

We tested both devices' Knight Mode, which preserves detail preservation and maintaining exposure equally well. However, the Realme 7 Pro's images are slightly more processed and unnatural due to saturation.

**Videos: Stabilization and Dynamic Range**

The Realme 7 Pro can record videos at 4K 30fps, which is impressive for a mid-range device. While the dynamic range of these videos is not as good as that of 1080p footage, the phone's stability and colors are still commendable.

If you want higher FPS, you can shoot in 1080p 60fps, although it lacks EIS (electronic image stabilization). The resulting footage is fairly stable with a good dynamic range and color accuracy.

**Battery Life: A Slightly Improved Offering**

The Realme 7 Pro has a relatively large battery cell, which may not be the largest upgrade from previous devices. However, with a more energy-efficient Super AMOLED display and a 60Hz refresh rate, it delivers slightly better endurance than its predecessor, the Realme 6 Pro.

It's worth noting that faster charging mechanisms can degrade your battery over time, so the phone's 65W SuperDart Fast Charging support is both a blessing and a curse. While it quickly fills up the device, you should be cautious about its long-term effects on the battery health.

**Speakers: A Stereo Output with Limited Depth**

The Realme 7 Pro has stereo speakers that sound impressive on paper but fall short in reality. They're loud and balanced well enough for casual listening, but lack depth, which may not be ideal for music enthusiasts.

However, when paired with headphones, the audio quality is more pleasing.

**Is it Worth Spending Money On?**

Considering its features, build quality, and superior display, the Realme 7 Pro is a solid mid-range option. While we can't help but feel that some specifications could have been improved (such as faster charging technology or a better chipset), this device still offers value for money.

If you're looking for a mid-range smartphone with impressive camera capabilities and a great build quality, the Realme 7 Pro is definitely worth considering. However, if you want to spend more on your phone and prioritize features like telephoto zoom lenses or higher refresh rates, there may be better options available.

**Verdict**

The Realme 7 Pro is a mid-range powerhouse that checks most of the boxes for a great value-for-money smartphone. While it falls short in some areas, its camera performance, display quality, and fast charging technology make it an excellent choice for those looking for a budget-friendly device with impressive capabilities.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey guys so today i will be talking about the ryomi 7 pro i have used this phone for quite a time now actually i've had it as my secondary phone while i was reviewing the real me seven and then i switched to the real me seven pro as my primary phone after it was done regardless of that how is the ryomi 7 pro in real life should you pay more for the ryomi 7 pro or just go for the regular ryomi 7 instead i will talk about all of that in this video but before getting started a huge shout out to osmo cables for sending over this amazingly rugged fast charger it's called the osmo extra charge okay most of the time what happens is native chargers that come with the phones are not that durable for that osmo has this wide range of chargers with these high quality rugged cables that don't get damaged that easily the brick also has an led indicator that can come quite handy the one i have has two options for cables usb a and usb c so if you have another cable lying around you can charge two devices at once which i think is really cool if you want further information about osmo cables you can check their website anyway let's get on with the review first of all the design of the realme 7 looks incredibly attractive especially this silver color variant that i have with me the company has given up on the gradient finish this time and this dual tone finish looks different and overall nice i also have to give credit to riomi for nailing the ergonomics as well the phone is pretty lightweight with good grip and it's not bulky like the last generation realm 6 pro or its closest competition the pogo x3 the build here is not glass but rather it's plastic so it can get scratched easily in the long run i for one do not mind the plastic build but glass would have certainly been better and one more thing the rear me seven pro is a well-built phone too if you have watched the real me seven review on our channel you may know that i have huge concerns regarding its build quality but that's not the case here moving on i also like the display quality of this device it has good touch sensitivity and the color reproduction is fantastic as well here you get a slightly smaller 6.4 inches amoled compared to the 6.6 inches ips lcd panel on the vm6 pro it still retains the regular 60hz refresh rate but you guys know that i would always go for a 60hz amoled display over a 90hz ips one because of this i do not actually mind the trade-off realme has done on the 7 pro similarly the punch hole cutout on the top is not obtrusive at all and is a lot better than the bulkier pill shaped cutout we saw on its predecessor the display can also get fairly bright so all is well on the display front and since this one's an amoled screen you get the fingerprint sensor baked inside the display itself which works perfectly most of the times moreover it also comes with always on display so i could not be happier about reomi 7 pro's display well although this display is receiving a thumbs up in almost all the aspects i do have a little concern which is the fact that it is only protected by the gorilla glass 3 plus while i think ryomi should at least be offering the gorilla glass 6. matter of fact this is a direct downgrade from the ryobi 6 pro which provided a much tougher gorilla glass 5. now on to the performance after having used this phone for about a month i am not particularly disappointed by it nor am i too excited about it either what i mean is the rearmi 7 pro is supposed to be an upgrade over the realme 6 pro but still you get the same level of performance as it houses the exact same snapdragon 720 g chipset maybe they could have gone with the snapdragon 732g which is slightly better i don't know but the newer snapdragon 750 g would have been really great maybe we will get to see that on the realme 8 pro instead anyways snapdragon 720 g has not particularly disappointed in terms of performance because well it is still a well well-performing soc that can handle fair share of load while being power efficient as well i have not faced a single problem on my everyday use with this device normal tasks run flawlessly apps open fast and multitasking is a breeze even with heavy apps it's only while gaming that i kind of wish the phone could do better and those were the times i wanted the ryomi 7 pro to have a better processor yes you can get a pretty smooth 35 to 40 fps gameplay under smooth graphics and ultra frame rates in pubg mobile but still when it comes to gaming i am greedy for a little bit more other than pubg i played call of duty that can go up to very high graphics and very high frame rates and give smooth gameplay also other games like asphalt 9 infinity ops etc run very well on this phone okay now getting to the software you're greeted with the rearmi ui 1.0 on top of android 10 and next month it is scheduled to receive the real miui 2.0 update based on android 11. and realme has considerably done well with the security updates on this device too at the time of writing this review my unit is running on september security patch which is not bad for a mid-range phone yet there is always room for doing better in this regard i guess now let's move to the cameras the realme 7 pro has 4 cameras at the back and a 32 megapixel sensor for selfies sadly the telephoto lens that we saw on the vlb6 pro has been replaced by a not so useful depth sensor which is a big letdown if you ask me anyways the three remaining lenses here are an upgrade you get a new 64 megapixel sony imx682 wide angle sensor which by the way every other mid-range phone is using these days then there's an 8 megapixel ultra wide angle lens and finally a 2 megapixel macro sensor about the images from the primary lens i actually am quite happy about them to be honest under a well-lit condition they are detailed and have a good dynamic range the best part is the colors in the pictures as they look very pleasing to the eyes although you will instantly figure out that there is some color processing being done to make the images more popping likewise the wide-angle images have similar colors too which is not the case with many other mid-range phones that i have tested so far they are not as detailed as the primary camera but look good nonetheless moving on i am fond of the reomi 7 pro's portrait images too the phone manages to make the sky look really good in portraits which is why i prefer the realme 7 pro's portraits over pogo x3s also the subject skin looks a little better on the 7 pro on the other hand the macro images like on most mid-range phones are pretty much useless and since i'm also using the poco x3 whose review should be out in about a week's time i tested these two cameras against each other because they used the same sony sensor what i found was the details on both the devices were pretty much the same however viewer me's images are slightly punchier than poco's which is more noticeable in landscape images so if you make me choose i would definitely go for realme's camera setup because its images have a better dynamic range and pleasing color scheme okay moving to the selfies both the rearmi 7 pro and the poco x3 have this unusual red tint in them as a result i am not a big fan of both of them but the 7 pro is capable of maintaining better background colors than the x3 in portrait selfies though both the phones cannot manage good dynamic range and exposure in the background talking about the nighttime images the pictures from the poco x3 look slightly better as they have better details and natural looking colors while we only saturate its pictures a bit more and is also inferior in details there's a dedicated knight mode on both the phones whose performance is neck to neck in regards to detail preservation and maintaining exposure but again ryomi saturates the images here too making them look a bit more processed and unnatural so this is the one area where realme can do better with a software update for videos like any other mid-range phone the realme 7 pro 2 can go up to 4k 30 fps at this resolution too the footage is stable enough so i'm really happy about that however the dynamic range is not as good as the 1080p footages also if you want higher fps then you have the option to shoot in 1080p 60fps as well although it lacks eis it is fairly stable with a good dynamic range and colors so it's not wrong to say that the cameras on the rearmi 7 pro work well yes technically the macro lens is not that useful and i would have really preferred a telephoto zoom lens instead but the primary camera on this device does a good job so overall i am really happy with the cameras on the ryomi 7 pro extending my happiness is the phone's battery life too it has a milliamp hour cell which i know is not a sizeable upgrade from the 6 probe but with a more energy efficient super amoled panel and a 60hz display it delivered a slightly better endurance than that of the rearmi 6 pro not to forget the fact that it is coupled with a whopping 65 watt super dart fast charging support that fills up the device in no time but with this you will have to be a little worried about your phone's battery house over the years as a faster charging mechanism degrades your battery a bit quicker additionally the speakers on the rear mi 7 pro give a stereo output which sounds very impressive on paper but in reality they're not that good i mean they're loud and the audio is fairly balanced as well but they kind of lack depth however it is more than fine for casual listening though and the audio from the headphones sounds good enough too so is the real me 7 pro worth spending your money on well yes considering that it almost sticks all the boxes off a good value for money smartphone it is definitely better than the real me 7 with a better build with a superior amoled display and better thermals however call me a little greedy but i think realme could have made slightly better decisions with the specifications for instance giving up the 65 watt fast charging to put in a better chipset would have been a wiser choice considering fast charging technology degrades battery health in the long run and we all know that the last generation 30 watt fast charging is still very fast or instead of a better chipset the company could have given in 90 hertz screen i mean imagine if in 90hz amoled screen came for the ryomi 7 pro's price that would have really made it stand out so that was all for our review of the realme 7 pro which mid-range phone would you choose for yourself the rear me 7 7 pro or the poco x3 do let us know in the comments below till then i'm pratimatikari and thank you so much for
