realme is taking its latest flagship phone global. After a successful launch in China, the realme GT 7 Pro is ready to “explore the unexplored” with an international debut on November 18.

(Update, November 18: The realme GT 7 Pro has arrived globally!)

realme vice president and global marketing president Chase Xu confirmed that the GT 7 Pro will go official in most countries on the 18th, including Malaysia. India will get its own launch event a bit later on the 26th. It’s still unclear if the Philippines will be included in the rollout. While the company’s country head for our market, Jacky Chen, shared photos of the device last week, he stayed mum on a local release date.

November 18th for most countries, and November 26th for India.

Loving the Mars color variant

The realme GT 7 Pro is no ordinary upgrade. The brand crammed Qualcomm’s newest and most powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite processor into the smartphone. Paired with a maximum of 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage, the Android 15-based GT model should be able to handle anything you throw at it — hardcore gaming, 4K video editing, even juggling a dozen apps at once.

The GT 7 Pro also boasts a 6.78-inch 1.5K OLED display with a 120Hz variable refresh rate. Even better, it features an LTPO Eco² panel that’s engineered to deliver stunning picture quality without sacrificing battery life. The technology can reportedly reduce power consumption by up to 52%, so you can enjoy those vibrant visuals for longer. Not that this flagship is wanting in the battery department. It packs a massive 6,500mAh battery with 120-watt fast-charging support, after all.

Imaging is handled by a 50-megapixel Sony IMX906 f/1.8 main sensor with optical image stabilization, a 50-megapixel IMX882 f/2.65 telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and OIS, and an 8-megapixel IMX355 f/2.2 ultrawide camera.

There’s more: realme has made the GT 7 Pro tough as nails. With IP68 and IP69K ratings, the phone should be able to survive dust storms, dunkings in the pool, and even a high-pressure water jet.

And the best part? It won’t break the bank — at least In China, where the realme GT 7 Pro is priced from ¥3,699 (roughly P30,410 or $$521). No wonder it shattered the company’s first-day sales records there. Hopefully, this premium model will be offered in global markets at a price that’s hard to beat, too.
