The Realme GT 7 Pro is gearing up to make its debut in the Indian market next week, marking a crucial moment for the phone’s success. While the pricing in its home country is considered reasonable, concerns have been raised regarding the international pricing, which is expected to be higher than the converted value of ₹42,000/$505/€465.
In a recent poll, the pricing issue emerged as the top concern among voters, with over a third expressing worries about the potential cost. Despite this, approximately one-fifth of respondents expressed interest in the phone and indicated that they would closely monitor its availability in their respective regions.
Although many people appear satisfied with the phone’s hardware, there have been notable complaints. For instance, the Indian models of the Realme GT 7 Pro will feature a smaller 5,800mAh battery compared to the 6,500mAh capacity found in the Chinese variants. This downgrade is attributed to the varying regulations governing battery-powered devices across different regions. Additionally, criticism was directed towards the 8MP ultra-wide camera.
While a significant portion of voters are also eyeing other recent flagship models, most are awaiting their global launch, similar to the Realme GT 7 Pro. As a result, direct price comparisons are challenging, and only relative values based on Chinese prices can be considered.
To stay competitive in the market, the Realme GT 7 Pro will need to offer a price point lower than most Snapdragon 8 Elite and Dimensity 9400 models. The upcoming week promises to reveal the official pricing strategy set by Realme, shedding light on the phone’s potential success in the global market. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
