The Realme 7 Professional options the identical mirror-split design on its again because the Realme 7, nevertheless it’s quite a bit slimmer (8.7mm) and lighter (182g), even in comparison with the Realme 6 Professional. This makes it much more snug to carry and use. The body and again panel are nonetheless made from plastic, however the high quality is excellent and the cellphone feels sturdy total. The matte end for the again means it would not choose up fingerprints simply, and the Mirror Blue unit that I’ve seems good. The cellphone can also be out there in white.
The buttons are ergonomically positioned across the cellphone, and on the backside, you get the usual headphone jack, USB Sort-C port and speaker. The primary massive function to notice is the show. It is barely smaller in comparison with the one on the 6 Professional at 6.Four inches, nevertheless it’s a Tremendous AMOLED panel with a full-HD+ decision. Realme additionally mentions the usage of Corning Gorilla Glass, though it would not specify the model. The show is brilliant, colors are wealthy, and because of one of these panel, the 7 Professional has an always-on show mode and an in-display fingerprint sensor.

The again of the Realme 7 has an fascinating design
Sadly, this cellphone ditches one massive function from the Realme 6 Professional, and that is a excessive display screen refresh charge.

Realme UI ran fairly easily on the top-end variant that I had. The cellphone by no means missed a beat, whether or not I used to be launching an app, switching between a number of apps, or taking part in a heavy sport. The dearth of a excessive refresh charge felt a bit jarring to me, however that might be as a result of I’ve only in the near past examined various telephones with 90Hz screens.
Video games reminiscent of Battle Prime look nice and run properly on the Realme 7 Professional
The Tremendous AMOLED show was nice for watching movies on, and this expertise was enhanced by the stereo audio system. The stereo impact is nice, because the earpiece will get virtually as loud because the bottom-firing speaker, and Dolby Atmos helps increase the amount and audio constancy.

If we zoom in to look at each photographs, the Realme 7 Professional produced very comparable particulars in comparison with the picture taken utilizing the telephoto digital camera on the 6 Professional. Utilizing 2x digital zoom on the 7 Professional, the outcome was fairly respectable, however the 6 Professional’s telephoto digital camera did nonetheless produce barely higher particulars and smoother depth of subject.

Verdict: Do you have to purchase the Realme 7 Professional?
All issues thought of, I believe Realme has accomplished a reasonably good job in crafting the 7 Professional. It brings some significant upgrades to the Realme 6 Professional within the type of an AMOLED display screen, stereo audio system, and far quicker charging. The first rear digital camera has improved, due to the brand new sensor, however total, I believe all of the cameras usually might nonetheless do higher in low gentle. I am unsure if ditching the extremely wide-angle selfie digital camera was the most effective transfer, as not like a depth digital camera, it might really be fairly helpful.
Trying on the competitors on this phase, I do not suppose the Realme 7 Professional is a clear-cut winner. It is onerous to disregard the nice worth supplied by the Motorola One Fusion+, which has a pop-up selfie digital camera, a barely quicker SoC, and a HDR10-certified show. Poco can also be gearing as much as launch the Poco X3, and Samsung will quickly launch the Galaxy M51, each of which ought to fall within the Realme 7 Professional’s worth territory and make issues much more fascinating.
