First Look and Build Quality
The realme GT 7T feels premium thanks to its unique IceSense Graphene design, which not only looks sleek but also helps keep the phone cool during heavy use.

The large 6.8-inch LTPO AMOLED display offers a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and an impressive peak brightness of 6000 nits, making it perfect for bright outdoor conditions. With minimal bezels, the screen provides an immersive viewing experience.

The power button and volume controls are conveniently placed on the right side, while the bottom houses the SIM tray, USB-C port, microphone, and speaker. The top edge features the second speaker for dual stereo sound and a useful IR blaster for controlling appliances.

At the back, the dual-camera module sits prominently but neatly. The phone weighs around 202g and its slim 8.25mm thickness further adds to the comfortable grip. It feels solid yet balanced, and the IceSense Blue variant’s frosted matte finish resists fingerprints and adds a touch of elegance.

Performance That Packs a Punch
The realme GT 7T is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 8400-Max 5G processor, built on an advanced 4nm process for great efficiency and speed. With its octa-core setup and ARM Mali-G720 MC7 GPU, the phone handles everything from smooth multitasking to graphics-heavy gaming with ease.

It comes with a generous 12GB of RAM and 256GB of fast UFS 3.1 storage, plus an additional 12GB of dynamic RAM expansion, giving users up to 24GB of memory when needed. This ensures the GT 7T can keep multiple apps open and handle demanding tasks without breaking a sweat.

According to realme, the GT 7T scores over 1.78 million on AnTuTu benchmarks, a figure we’re eager to test soon ourselves. We’re especially excited to put its gaming capabilities to the test for everyday use, to see how it performs during long gaming sessions and multitasking.

Camera Setup
The GT 7T comes equipped with a 50MP Sony IMX906 main sensor with OIS for sharper, steadier shots. There’s also an 8MP ultra-wide camera for group shots and landscapes. On the front, you get a 32MP Sony IMX615 selfie camera that supports 4K@60fps video.

Battery Life and Charging

The realme GT 7T is equipped with a 7000mAh battery. It’s designed to keep up with extended use, whether that’s gaming, streaming, or simply juggling multiple apps throughout the day.

When it comes to charging, the 120W SUPERVOOC fast charger included in the box does a solid job. realme claims it can charge the phone from 0 to 100% in under 30 minutes, which is impressive considering the battery size. While we’ll be testing that claim in our full review, it's clear that the GT 7T aims to minimize downtime and keep users powered up quickly.

First Impressions
The realme GT 7T 5G makes a strong first impression with a well-rounded mix of performance and features. It’s powered by a capable processor, complemented by a vibrant AMOLED display, a flexible camera setup, and a large battery with fast charging. The IceSense design not only adds a stylish touch but also helps manage heat during extended use.

It looks to be a solid choice for users looking for powerful specs without the premium price tag. We’re looking forward to testing how it holds up in everyday use, especially in areas like photography, gaming, and battery life.
