Pros of the Realme GT 7
Massive 7,000 mAh battery offering excellent endurance.
Super-fast 120 W wired charging (gets to ~50% in ~15 minutes) in many regions.
Bright and smooth display: 6.78″ AMOLED, 120 Hz refresh, extremely high peak brightness (~6,000 nits).
Versatile camera setup with 50 MP main + 50 MP telephoto + 8 MP ultra-wide (depending on region) for strong zoom and general photography.

Cons of the Realme GT 7
No wireless charging included despite the high-end feature list.
USB port limited to USB 2.0 speeds in some regions – a potential bottleneck for high-end storage/performance.
Display brightness claims (e.g., 6,000 nits) may not always reach peak in real-world use.
Charging speed and battery longevity are highly dependent on charger, region and firmware — real-world figures may differ from lab specs.
Heavier/thicker than some ultra-slim phones because of the large battery; may feel less sleek in hand.
