Realme 7 Pro Review & Unboxing (EU version) By TechTablets

So, it is also time now to do my complete, in-depth review of the realm 7 pro so in the channel. I just recently posted the review of the Realme seven. They have released them now here in Europe and there is a slight difference compared to the other regions that they've released, and that is the megapixel count on the cameras. Well, with the pro model. Here, we've got the 64 for the main camera on the rear. It has an 8 megapixel ultra-wide.

Just like the Realme 7. , the front-facing camera gets a spec bump as well, so it's not 16 megapixels, but 32 megapixels on this one and another key difference is the screen. So the Realme 7 pro has an AMOLED screen with an in-screen fingerprint reader. The resolution is full HD plus, and it is a Samsung panel, a very decent panel. If you don't mind the 60h refresh rate, that is, if you want 90, then of course you go for this model here, the realm 7.

And then the chipset. This one has the snapdragon 720 g. My model has 8 gigabytes of ram and 128 gigabytes of storage. So apart from the phone in the box, we do get their 65 watts super dart charger. Now this one is really, really quick, so their official claim is 34 minutes, and I'm seeing charge times of about 36 minutes 35 minutes, but it's always going to be under 40 minutes.

It's very, very fast, of course, for a 4500 William hour battery. Here's our cables. This is type c to USB and there's a little of paperwork, and they include this CPU case here and here's what the phone looks like in the case. So there's a raised lip here around where the camera rear glasses, which is good, that's going to keep it from getting scratched up. If you place it camera down on a table that is, and the buttons they're all protected as well, and a good bit of protection here with a raised lip also around where the screen is so not bad for an included case.

So this finish I have here is called the mirror blue. You can see why they call it mirror because at certain angles it does reflect and have a bit of a mirror-like finish to it. It doesn't actually look too bad. Now the rear of this tapping on it. You will notice that, yes, it is plastic here.

The frame around the outside is also plastic and then painted. So our cameras on the back we've got glass covering them with a middle frame around the outside 64 megapixel main sensor, eight megapixel ultra-wide, and we do have the two not so useful, two megapixel cameras which, to be honest, they could have actually done without here. One is handling depth, information for portrait shots and the other is a two megapixel macro, and you can imagine that two megapixels we're not actually going to get very detailed shots. It's not too bad for what it is for two megapixels, but I'll give you a sample that later on in this review. So, on the left hand, side here, we've got volume up and down made out of plastic here, as mentioned, the frame is plastic and then a sim tray which takes two NATO sims and a micro SD card.

You can have all of those three at the same time, which is good to see and then the front screen here you can see the bezels aren't too bad left and right and the top a little of a chin to it, and this one does have the same cut out here at the front, but instead of 16 megapixels, like you get with the Realme seven, the Realme seven pro has a better front: 32 megapixel, camera, f, 2.0 aperture and an in-screen fingerprint reader with this one. It's not the side one. Now I've noticed that this fingerprint reader is actually, in my experience a little slower than the side. One definitely slower I'll, just show you the Realme seven, this one's capacitive always on and just tapping it. It is very, very quick, and I'll do that.

One more time see it is really fast, and I'll just demonstrate that in screen one again that it is well that time it was actually quite quick. It's just a fraction slower, I found so down the bottom. We've got a 3.5, millimeter, headphone, jack microphone, type c port doesn't support video out, and you wouldn't expect this, of course, for the price this phone is selling for downwards firing loudspeaker and the 3.5 millimeter output on this phone is good. It is loud, it's clear, it's not quite maybe the best I have heard, at least in this group and calorie price range. I think there are other brands that do if it's slightly better, but overall, no real complaints.

It does sound quite good, and if I take a look here at the top, you'll see there's just a single hole here, so no IR transmitter. This is a secondary mic used for noise cancellation in calls and also used in video, and we also have a secondary loudspeaker that is in the earpiece. So this is another difference compared to the Realme seven. The realm seven only has the single downwards firing loudspeaker, where we have dual lounge speakers on this model. So with this phone here we get an AMOLED panel and that's another key reason to go for this model over the Realme seven, because you've got a far superior higher quality screen.

Now this particular AMOLED, it's made by Samsung, it's covered with gorilla, glass 3, and we do have very deep blacks being an AMOLED panel, and we're looking at a white image. Here we don't have any issues like we do with the IPS screen on the real me.7 has a tiny bit of darkness around the very edges or around the notch, with this particular model right here, and you don't get that with the Realme 7 pro, but the realm 7 pro the refresh rate on this one is just 60 hertz, which is a shame. I would have really liked to have seen a 90 hertz, refresh rate screen AMOLED in this model, and you've got the 90 hertz, but in the cheaper realm 7 model. If you want that- and you don't min dips panels, so in direct sunlight, edits, almost 600 nits of maximum brightness, it does feel a lot better in the sun versus the Realme seven. I've found in my experience, testing both of these and onto our UI performance, so it runs android 10, and it's Realme ui1 that they are running with this and the performance is excellent, very well optimized, I feel they've just got it down, even though it's running at 60 hertz.

Yes, it's not going to be as smooth as the 90 hertz. We get with this guy. The Realme 7, but the performance for 60 hertz screen phones seems to be very, very good. Well optimized. I do like the way that everything is loading in very, very quick.

Of course, your different apps and the main thing too, with it is, I haven't, encountered any glitches or bugs or anything so far in my time, using it, which is great so, as I pointed out before, the European model, if you have a look on the toggles right here, there's no toggle for NFC. That's because this model doesn't actually have it, but the global version does that have NFC. It will be slightly thicker slightly wider, now haptics on this one, the haptic motor makes a little of noise, it's quite a weak engine and not amazing haptics with this particular phone here and recent apps. I've noticed that if you leave something for around about 20 minutes depending on how demanding it is, if it's like a game, it can kill it off a little quicker than maybe you'd like when you swap over and do a little of multitasking there. So the internal storage.

This is UFS 2.1 spec and these speeds are fine for that kind of storage, very good, random reason, rights, they're not going to bottleneck when paired up with the snapdragon 720. Definitely not, and I've noticed that everything is very quick anyway. The app launch times, there are no complaints here from me about that so wide vine level, 1 cert, which is great Netflix Amazon, prime full HD camera 2. API support is level 3. This is the maximum, so that means it is out of the box going to support your Guam ports.

Google, camera port, so check that out now I do have a little of an area of complaint here that I'm sure a wireless update is going to fix. Hopefully, the wireless performance doesn't seem to be that great for five hooking up to my wireless on the five gigahertz band. It should be over 200 megabits per second, but for some reason I cannot get over that- and I use other phones with similar spec, and I'm able to get much better speeds than this, almost double, so something's up with the widest speeds. There. I've noticed that with 4g no such problems, it's running at full capacity that I get from my carrier, no issues there.

It's just the wireless needs to be tweaked. Now our GPS working just fine, we see a lot of satellites. We normally get a very good average signal strength and the accuracy is not going to get any better than three meters. That is the cap and the limit with, of course, the Qualcomm chipsets an tutu score very kind of similar score to the real me. Seven.

In fact, the Realme seven here, the cheaper model with its hello g95. It's a slightly better score here than the snapdragon 720 g. The GPU seems to be a little faster there. This one gains a little more in the CPU score, but overall the performance of both of them seems about the same. However, the cheaper model because of the 90 hertz screen, even though okay, it's a lower quality panel, it's IPS! It does actually feel a little faster in general because it is running at 95 frames per second versus the 60 on this one right here.

So when you first get the phone as well, just to point out that there is actually a little of bloatware that you're going to see on board it's not too bad, and you can uninstall things. It's not like they've decided to make a bloatware thing like Facebook, a system app, no okay. So that's pretty much stand there with most brands as well they're going to put a little of bloat on there, but you just uninstall it. So I did run the fixed battery life test here of PC mark. So this just runs until it gets down to 20 from 100 battery with this screen calibrated to 200 nits, and it got a very good run time here of 15 hours and 23 minutes.

That's a lot better, of course, than what you'll get with the Realme seven. So this translates into a two-day phone for most people with the 4 500 million-hour battery and remember it fully charges in just 34 minutes this phone, very quick charging and good battery life. Okay. So I'm going to have to take back what I said about this being completely 100 bugs free, because this happened when I was recording that I went to go to the gallery, and it just would not load on me and completely just froze up everything, and this was a real pain and that caused me to close things down. So it looks like there are a few bugs to iron out here in the firmware, so firmware updates will be coming with this particular model onto our audio quality, so we have 3.5 millimeter headphone jacks on both of the Realme seven models which is great to have, and just like the Realme seven- that I've also reviewed the really seven pro does not have any static over the line and the volume is good. Overall, it's a good quality.

Now the loudspeakers downwards firing on the Realme seven, that's it and then, of course, on the seven pro it's down with firing and the earpiece so dual loudspeakers and overall, it does actually sound better as you'll hear now from this sample. So looking at our gaming performance here now, I tested out a couple of titles and Call of Duty. This is on the max frame rate option with the medium setting. It looks great, plays really well no real problems, the occasional little hiccup now and then, and something a little more demanding is shadow gun legends that I do like to test out. It's possibly a poorly optimized game as well, but running on the highest setting at 60 frames per second, the occasional little starter.

But overall the experience is quite good. Now, the phone after gaming for one hour. This is a test I like to do now, as I game for one hour check on the thermals did get quite warm to the touch. So on the back of it, it's a little cooler than the front, and it will reach approximately 46 degrees in my experience of testing it out here, so that is actually two degrees cooler than the MediaTek powered realm 7 after one hour of similar gameplay. So moving over to our camera, here's the night mode.

Now I just wanted to point out that this also works night mode with the ultra-wide, and you've got even a promo, which they call the pro nights cape. So you've got that option there and then video. Of course, you can use the ultra-wide as well, so the ultrawide only got 1080p max main sensor is 4k 30 maximum and in the photo mode here standard as well. So it's got the digital zoom options here, as you can see so five times. I wouldn't use that one personally digital zoom at two times is actually acceptable in okay portrait mode here, 64 megapixel mode.

You also have the pro 64 megapixel mode, so you can adjust the shutter rate, the white balance and your ISO and then under more. You can find various other options in here, so the ultra macro expert mode there, as well with pro mode. Basically, so, let's have a look at some photo samples now shot on the realm 7 pro front-facing video samples, so 1080p maximum. We do have electronic image stabilization. You can see, as I walk ahead, that it is nice and steady.

So this is good. However, I've noticed that the audio something is up here with the audio with the microphones in video that it sounds muffled. It sounds like that they just haven't, got the stereo separation, correct, they've merged the two channels into one, and it's just out of time sync, or I'm talking into a jar. What it sounds like apart from that the 1080p quality is pretty good. It does have some dramatic changes sometimes to the exposure, but this is kind of normal.

It's a little sensor and me being in direct sunlight. Now sometimes can overexpose a little step into the shadow, and you'll see it. It seems to handle these conditions not too bad. It's just that audio, which I'm sure they're going to fix in a firmware update, needs to be corrected. So with the rear camera we've got.4K 30 frames per second with electronic image. Stabilization audio nitrate is a good 320.

Kilo bits per second focus seems to be good. I haven't really seen any major problems and the electronic image stabilization. It does work well, but there's no optical, of course, with this one, it's just all electronic. You sometimes see a little of butter coming through with that electronic image. Stabilization is susceptible to a little of wind noise as well, and I'll just jog ahead slightly to show you that electronic image stabilization worst case scenario changing the resolution now to 1080p has enabled the ultra-wide video mode which I'm currently shooting with does not look quite as good.

It looks a little washed out, especially around the edges. I just feel that this lens and the sensor is not quite up to the job of video. It's really lacking a little in just details and quality overall do okay. So judging from the photo samples that I've been looking at now on my monitor that it definitely has slightly better cameras versus the Realme seven, this model here. So that's one reason to go for it.

You get the electronic image stabilization with the front-facing camera, and you get slightly better portrait photos slightly, better stitching as well. So one thing with these cameras on the roomy phones, and we've seen in the past models as well as those two megapixel cameras. I really wish that they would actually just forget about it. So just drop the two 2 megapixel cameras and instead of an 8 megapixel ultra-wide, give us a 20, megapixel, ultrawide or a 13 with a better lens and a slightly better sensor, I think, would be more valued than say a two megapixel macro, and I'm sure people in the comments would probably agree with me or even two times. Optical portrait camera instead of those macros instead of those two megapixels, would be more handy, at least in my opinion.

So, yes, we have a plastic build to it. It's not actually bad. I mean it. Okay, it's plastic, so it doesn't feel super premium versus a much more expensive phone with the glass with the metal. But it's not bad now.

This has, of course, the AMOLED screen in it. If you need an AMOLED screen, and you don't wan tips again the version to go for, but sadly it's 60 hertz and I think that it's a bit of an error. They really should have released a 90 hertz refresh rate screen with this one I think, would then be a little more competitive, the likes of say the polo, x3 and FC could go head-to-head a little more with that particular phone. But as it stands, well, it's not really going to. Is it and the European model doesn't have the NFC, but the global version does, so there's quite a few differences there.

So the step-up in the camera is a step-up on the charging performance as well versus the standard. Real me seven is good to see so very quick, 64 65 watt charging, sorry, and it will take only about 35 34 minutes to fully charge. This phone is great for a large 4 500 million hour capacity. Now this phone will be a two day. Better iPhone for most people, standby drain seems to be standard on this model.

I'm not seeing anything strange there. However. I've got to point it out, because I see everything and I report everything in my videos uh that it does seem to have a few little bugs in the firmware. So the one I pointed out with the audio quality and video sounds a bit muffled. That needs to be corrected.

Wireless speeds, as well, should be faster than for some reason. I'm getting this strange, 200 megabits per second cap on the speeds that shouldn't be there. Hopefully, the firmware update, should be able to actually fix that, and then I noticed that the gallery locked up on me with just a white screen. I managed to capture that on film, so it's very minor, but of course they will be addressed and there will be firmware updates coming out. So thank you so much for watching this review here.

So now you know a bit of the key differences as well between the Realme seven and then the seven pro here at least the European models, and if you are interested check out the review of the realm 7 with the MediaTek chipset, this one of course has snapdragon and that one's got the 90 hertz screen. But it's an IPS.
