Realme Neo 7: Specs and features

The Realme Neo 7 has some impressive specifications for a mid-range smartphone. It features a 6.78-inch 1.5K BOE display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, slim 1.49mm bezels, and up to 6,000 nits peak brightness. The screen also supports DC-like dimming and 2,600Hz touch sampling rate at full brightness which helps in relatively better response while gaming. Under the hood, the phone is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ chipset, paired with an advanced cooling system featuring a 7700 mm² vapor chamber, which is said to be the largest single VC in the industry.

The camera setup of Realme Neo 7 includes a 50MP Sony IMX882 primary sensor with OIS, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 16MP front camera for selfies. The device is available in three color options – Starship (silver), Submariner (blue), and Meteorite Black. The phone’s silver and blue colors feature engravings and silver accents, while the camera island appears to be housed in metal with a small HyperImage+ branding at the bottom right. The phone is IP69-rated, making it highly resistant to dust and water.

Powering the Realme Neo 7 is a 7000mAh battery, which offers 80W fast charging capability and supports reverse charging. The battery is claimed to be designed for long-term use, retaining more than 80% health even after 1800 charge cycles or five years. Realme also offers a four-year battery warranty in China, promising free replacement if the battery health drops below 80% within that time frame.

To summarize, the Realme Neo 7 is packed with top-tier hardware that promises to deliver solid performance, good cameras, and long-lasting stamina. However, as mentioned above, it remains to be seen whether Realme will launch this phone in India or not.
