Realme 7 5G Unboxing & FULL Review It Runs So COOL! By TechTablets

Hey guys welcome back to another video, it's yes, another Realme phone, so they've released the real me, seven, the Realme seven pro and the last phone for the year. That is at least I hope is the Realme seven, five g, so it has the density 800u with a 5g modem. If you wanted the 5g for a value price, then you got it with this particular phone now. It is running, of course, android 10, roomy UI. It has six gigabytes of ram 128 gigabytes of storage. Furthermore, it's UFS, 2.1 spec is the model that Realme sent out to me here in exchange for the review you're watching right now, now, 5 000 William hour battery with 30 watt charging, 48 megapixel main rear camera, 16 megapixel selfie, that's enough of reading the spec sheet. Let's take a look and see if this phone is worth the price tag for what is on offer from realm, along with the phone.

Of course, you are going to find in the box a CPU case, so it is great that manufacturers are continuing to do this. Give us an included case straight out of the box important guy, a little of information there now this case here does have a raised lip around where the camera rear glasses and the cutout for the power button fingerprint reader, our charger, not a bad size, it's 30 watts, so it will take approximately one hour to fully charge that 5000 William hour battery. But I'll give you an exact time in this in-depth review, and then our USB cable- and you can see just in here- is our sim tray tool. The roomy seven 5g has a 6.5-inch screen. It's full HD plus resolution the build quality the frame around the outside.

This is all plastic. So, just like the previous realm 7 and the 7 pro that I reviewed in the channel, we've got a sim tray tool here on the upper left-hand side. This takes two NATO sims or micro SD card the volume up and down buttons. They've got a good feel to them, but they are plastic just like that frame. Now we have a nice sort of mirror finish here on the back.

Now it doesn't pick up fingerprints too bad a few little smudges, as you can see right there, and I do like the way it does reflect here now. This is made out of plastic. Some people see this as a con other as a pro. So if you drop it, it won't smash like glass will, but it doesn't feel quite as premium in hand. Now for our cameras.

Here we have a 48 megapixel main sensor: f, 1.8, it's from Samsung, and we've got an 8 megapixel ultra-wide f 2.3, two 2 megapixel cameras, one handle is black and white for a portrait effect. The other is for macros and, to be honest, like I've mentioned in other videos. I really wish they didn't do this. I would rather have a higher quality ultra-wide with autofocus instead of the two 2 megapixel cameras, there's also a dual tone led flash and this protrudes. By about one and a half millimeters the camera glass up, the top.

We do have a secondary microphone, so there is no IR transmitter on this one, but good to see they put the mic in this. The two microphones, because the Realme seven only had a single mic, and it didn't actually offer any noise cancellation in calls down below here loudspeaker. So just a single loudspeaker, microphone type c port here does not support video out and a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack, with relatively good quality. It doesn't have any static hiss or any problems and good loudness on the right-hand side, our fingerprint reader. It is the always-on capacitive type, and it doubles as a power button.

Now this fingerprint reader demonstrate is very good. You can see that is really quite quick, and I have found it to be extremely accurate, and I actually prefer this over an end screen one. Why? Because they simply work better, and it is faster and more accurate. Now it does come with a pre-applied screen protector on it, which is great again. A lot of manufacturers are doing this.

In fact, most of them are at least the ones out of china that I review a front 16 megapixel webcam here now. This one has an aperture of f 2.0, and it's being used in their other previous mobile phones. No changes there. Earpiece at the top doesn't have any loudspeaker capabilities. There's no status led with this either and the frame around the outside of this gorilla glass, 3, screen 6.5 inches, as mentioned before, is plastic as well around the outside. So even though it's plastic, if I give it a bit of a flex in hand, it doesn't make any creaks, it doesn't feel cheap.

It is a solid quality build. It just will not feel as premium, of course, as the more expensive phones with metal frames around them and glass on the rear onto the screen now. So the resolution of this one is 1080. By 2400 we have a maximum brightness that I have measured with my meter of approximately 443 nits. So it is not the brightest screen out there.

You can still make it out in direct sunlight, as you can see from the sample I'm showing you. I took that when I was out, of course, and that's the main thing now looking at whites here, is it a uniformed white with this IPS panel? It is not because just on the edges is where you see it, and it's normally just a light background, and it's not an issue for most people, but there is. I wanted to point out a tiny little of what I call like a shadow around the cutouts. I've pointed this out in many of my videos of IPS panels, and it's just a trait we're going to get with the IPS. Unfortunately, if it was OLED or AMOLED, we would not be seeing that, and we would also see uh deeper blacks.

Now touch response is very good. I've got no problems with that and I love the fact that it's 120 hertz, of course, at this price point, is great and Realme does give us a lot of settings under the display here. So adaptive brightness is there. Of course, all phones have this dark mode. That is another thing.

That's very handy now, dark mode with an IPS panel is not actually going to be saving us really any battery life, unfortunately, like an old LED, but it's easier on the eyes. We've got our eye comfort mode, which is just reducing the blue light, and then you've got other settings in here. Adaptive sleep there as well. You can adjust the refresh rate so by default it's actually on auto select now auto select is real means, adaptive variable refresh rate. It will change depending on what you're doing so.

The UI might be running at 120 frames per second 120 hertz, and then you'll go into something else. That's more just like a static image. It will drop it right down and save on battery life, but for my testing and the whole time using the phone, I've kept it on 120 just to keep it really smooth, and it does offer, of course, the best possible experience there. Now we've got other scrap scaling options there, which is all standard and normal, and what about the gestures so swiping to go up home recent apps and everything that is all working perfect. So I'm very pleased with the optimization of this Ronda performance, the fluidity of it.

It is very good most of your applications. They do load up really quick, which is great to see now when you sometimes go up to your recent apps. If you've been gaming, or you minimize and get out of something, you might notice, then a couple of frame dips- just minor ones, but it really does not seem to bog down or hard to bog down it's only when you've got like a lot of heavy apps opened in the background that this may happen now. Task management ram management a little heavy-handed, I'm seeing a lot of this recently because of the more aggressive battery management to save our battery. They close apps off in the background, so things like an tutu will probably have to reload if it's been sitting there, if it's a third-party app now, there are ways around this, of course, that you can just simply go in and select the option there to lock it, which in fact I've already done, so you go and unlock that, and that should keep it alive in the background, and it won't kill it off.

So, let's have a look first, also here at a couple of little bits and pieces that I have taken screenshots off so when you first get this particular phone you'll notice this that you're going to have about 112, gigabytes, free and, as I mentioned, it's running, android 10 room, UI one, and you do get a little of bloatware, but nothing like some manufacturers like Samsung, for example, uh, Xiaomi and others. They put a lot of bloatware. I mean some of those brands out there. I remove almost two gigabytes of bloatware rubbish that they put on there, and you only get about three or four or five. For example, bloatware amps on here like Facebook's, there we've go twp office.

I know some of those things are handy to people, but I consider it to be bloke for me personally anyway. So the an tutu score, it's good. It's not bad at all. The density 800u performances, I think, for the price of what this phone is selling for and going to be selling for even cheaper. This is great uh, not a weakness, but the GPU is not as powerful as others and with some gaming, which I'll show you later on.

We do actually have to lower settings down just to get the best possible frame rate. Now the internal storage UFS 2.1, spec um, it's not bad at all, I mean sequential reads- are very good right yeah I mean not amazing the right speed there, but the random reads and writes they are important, and they are really not bad at all. So that's not going to bottleneck this particular phone here. It would probably be more the GPU that would be some kind of bottleneck for it. So camera 2 API support level 3 is here which is great.

But yes, it is MediaTek, meaning to get that Guam port may be a little more difficult and require a little more patience and hunting around to find something or something on DA developers. Wide vine level. One support is there, so that is great, and you can see the supported refresh rates, HDR 10 as well, and we do have a safety net status pass so great for your banking applications and, of course it does have NFC. This particular uh version that I have now. This is a bug something's going on I've seen this on the Realme seven and the seven pro uh that we cannot exceed wireless speeds.

For some reason, I don't know why of 200 megabits per second, if placed some sort of cap, it's either MediaTek or realm needs to address this. I've noticed with the domestic 1000 plus no such problem. You can go right up to almost 900 megabits per second, but this is kept at 200 for some unknown reason, which means download speeds can be a little slower, especially when you're downloading huge amounts of data like seven gigabytes. For that large game, GPS works really. Well, it forgets the MediaTek GPS of a couple of years back.

It was terrible. No, it's actually quite good. Now. Good accuracy is right well down to one meter now battery time, charging here, 17 to 100 that took me this time, 53 minutes and our battery life fixed test, 200 net calibrated display ram for 12 hours and 25 minutes, and I forced the 120 hertz. Okay.

This is a decent score. It is not the best I have seen, but it is still very good for 120 hertz. Now, if you leave it on the adaptive refresh rate, then you can see, I would say, probably about 15 hours a good two days for most people, this particular fine. The battery life is good, so charging from seven percent to a hundred this time here took me just under one hour, so it is faster charge. Considering this larger capacity we have onto our gaming performance.

So this is not an absolute monster. If it comes to gaming performance, I did have to run actual low settings here, because I found that when I ran medium settings or higher, you wouldn't get a very decent frame rate in demanding games. You get around 40 frames per second on battle, royale with Call of Duty right now, as you can see, I'm playing on the multiplayer maps. It's not too bad. It's around 60 frames per second between 55 and 60, and then grim fella and also real racing did run really well.

But what really surprised me was the thermals. The thermals on this phone are just crazy. Okay, it runs so cool after one hour of gaming. It only got up to 35 degrees. Unbelievable I've never seen this well, not this year at least a phone that runs so cool after one hour of heavy gaming on to our audio quality, so voice calls.

They do have noise cancellation with this one. It's not like the Realme 7, which lacked it, but the pro had it. This is like the pro it's got it, and we've just got the single downwards frying speaker right here now you can use your Bluetooth audio. Just fine wide audio as well sounds good, maybe not the greatest I've heard, but it's still very good and that single loudspeaker I would rate as it's not bad, but it would have been nice if they'd also had one in the earpiece, but here's a sample of it, of course, at 100 volume moving over to our cameras now so the front-facing camera, which you're currently looking at, does not have any electronic image stabilization at the time of me posting this video now, hopefully it will come in a firmware update. We have seen in the past that when Realme pushes out updates, they normally do later on add electronic image stabilization.

I don't know why it's missing here, and it's a shame. We do not have it because it kind of ruins this quality here. As you see, it shakes around the previous phones, but the front-facing cameras have had the electronic image stabilization, but let's take a look now at the rear cameras, 4k 30 frames per second sample, so we have electronic image stabilization with a 48 megapixel Samsung sensor and, as you can see as I walk ahead, it does a reasonably good job of removing just the motion of me walking here now. If I jog you can see, it then does shake around a little without any optical image. Stabilization, of course, in this category and pricing group you wouldn't expect it to have it now.

The autofocus I find does work well. I haven't really experienced any problems so far, testing it out and overall for 4k 30. I think the quality is reasonably good here that we're looking at, but let's have a look at the ultrawide now, which is 1080p maximum. The ultrawide quality is not as good as the main camera. I find it slightly disappointing because we don't seem to have any electronic image stabilization using the ultra-wide camera.

So we get a lot more in this shot, but it doesn't look as sharp and as detailed of course, as 4k from the main sensor, a little of blurring and noise around the edges. I've also picked up on, and the main thing is that lack of stabilization, which I hope Realme will add in an up and coming firmware update all right. So what we saw from the camera samples that I just showed you that nighttime performance, not so great, but I was actually pleasantly surprised with some of those daytime stills looking very good, especially that hibiscus flower, a lot of cameras and even flagships will not actually be able to capture all the different colors of that flower around the little veins on the petals, and things would be normally clipped out even on expensive phones so impressive to see that there so far with the phone. In my time using it, I'm enjoying it the build quality while, yes, all plastic. That a lot of people may say is a con is actually solid, good, there's, no creeks, there's no cheap feeling to it.

It doesn't have any rough edges, nothing like that. It's actually a good build for a plastic phone. Now that fingerprint reader, as I demonstrated, and even now, that it's very quick it works well face unlocking just to mention that too. I don't normally use it myself anymore, because it's not really that secure, but it does work good with this. Now it does fully charge in about an hour and the UI is very fluid.

It's fast, it's great! It's well optimized, there's not a lot of bloatware in the ROM. Furthermore, it is very, very good in terms for the price and what room you're offering with this phone, but not everything's perfect. I did notice that little problem with the maximum wireless speeds- I don't know, what's going on there. I hope that Realme will be able to fix this with a firmware update, or it could actually be a limitation with the MediaTek wireless for some reason. Their wireless 5g on the 5 gigahertz band, that is, it, doesn't want to go over 200 megabits per second and even on the 2 gigahertz band, 2.4 gigahertz, that is, it won't go over that either. So something is up, there should be actually a little faster GPS performance is well, is good.

Gaming performance is maybe one of the downsides to this really because you can run a lot of those. You can fake run all the demanding titles fine, but you need to use lower settings. I think to get that fluid frame rate, as I showed you with Call of Duty, but fantastic thermals. I really did not expect this like I, I played and played and played on this for an hour, and I get that can't be right. Maybe the screen was off because, but I was using it.

Of course, I was there playing. How can it not get over 35 degrees? It just runs so cool. It almost feels, like they've, almost throttled the chip down to maintain such great thermals, but they haven't, and then you don't lose that much battery gaming for like an hour, I think it was about 12 battery. I lost, and it's that's unbelievable. That's really, really good.

So it looks like it's quite good for gaming for long term gaming, but it won't give you just absolute best frames per second the highest visuals with this won't be there yet, and a lot of developers aren't simply supporting the demand city 800u. Now all up, I think, for what you're getting as a package for that 279 pounds. I would think yeah, that's okay, it's not bad at all, but of course, they're going to be having that special price for Black Friday, which drops the price then down to 229 pounds, and that's when I say definitely for 229 pounds, it's worth it're getting quite a lot, the faster refresh rate, all that spec. I talked about the larger battery great battery life. That then, I think, is worth it.

So thank you so much for watching my review of the realm 7 5g and I do hope to see you back in the channel with the next up and coming video.
