REALME 7

amazon REALME 7 reviews

The design remains the same on the front, the back changes with a matte style.

If only viewed from the front, it won’t be easy to see the difference in the Realme 7 compared to the senior Realme 6. All changes are focused on the back. Instead of a glossy back with a diffuse light effect, transforming into many shapes when tilted at different angles in the previous life, Realme 7 switched to a matte back, emphasizing a rectangular strip of color running vertically next to the machine.

The cluster of 4 rear cameras is also refreshed, almost similar to the popular “induction cooker” style today. This type of back design makes the Realme 7 look like a compact camera when held horizontally. The face is solidly machined and sturdy. Unfortunately, the back and chassis are only made of plastic, so it feels unreal to hold.

An inherent drawback on Realme and Oppo smartphones is that the screen protruding from the chassis still appears on the Realme 7. However, the screen edge has been smoother, less needy than previous generations. The surprising point is that despite carrying a rather large 5000 mAh battery, the Realme 7 is not too thick and heavy.

Similar to Realme 6, the front of Realme 7 still follows the “mole” trend this year. Thanks to the mole design, the screen of the Realme 7 looks airy. The edges of the two sides and the top are slimmed; only the chin is slightly thicker. The mole’s size is still similar to the previous generation, slightly larger, and occupies more area than competitors like the Poco X3 NFC. Pay close attention; you can also see around the mole’s edge, the screen is still dark.

The USB Type C port layout, 3.5 audio jack, external speaker, volume up and down key cluster, power key or sim slot, a memory card are completely similar to Realme 6, with no difference. The device still only has a single speaker at the bottom, does not use the speakerphone as the second external speaker, creating a stereo dual speaker system like some rival smartphones.

The screen has overcome the phenomenon of pink and poor clarity of the previous life.

The screen parameters of Realme 7 are kept from Realme 6 with a high refresh rate of 90Hz on a 6.5-inch size, Full HD + resolution, LCD panel, Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The screen has been overcome. The phenomenon of being pink and lacking in clarity of seniors. Previously, Realme 6 used to be the smartphone with the lowest price 90Hz screen on the market. That position is no longer due to the appearance of the Oppo A53. The high-frequency screen, which usually only appears on high-end phones priced at $700 or more, has now been popularized to popular smartphones.

With a 90Hz screen, the experience on Realme 7 is smooth right from swiping the notification bar, scrolling the page when browsing the web, or surfing the message board on Facebook. Everything is going smoothly, like watching a video from 30fps to 60fps.

Like the Realme 6, the screen of the Realme 7 supports both HDR and HDR videos on YouTube. However, the device’s screen brightness is still not high, the contrast is not impressive, making HDR YouTube videos not much different from normal SDR.

Because it still uses an LCD screen, Realme 7 cannot equip an in-screen fingerprint sensor. Like the Realme 6, the device switches to the fingerprint integrated into the power button on the right side. Therefore, the power button is made large, concave down to hug the finger better. Fast fingerprint recognition speed, high accuracy.

The quality of the multi-purpose camera is good, but the macro camera has not improved yet.

The 4-camera specification has been upgraded with the main camera of 64MP resolution, switched to the Sony IMX682 sensor instead of the Samsung ISOCELL GW1 sensor. The remaining cameras have the same parameters as the previous generation, with an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera, a 2MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth camera. The front selfie camera also keeps 16MP resolution but uses a Sony IMX471 sensor.

The camera interface has not changed yet, still providing familiar features such as Night shooting, portrait removal, manual adjustment. The machine for fast shooting speed, fast image saving. The phenomenon of slow focusing or sometimes not focusing on Realme 6 no longer appears on Realme 7.

In bright enough conditions, the 64MP camera and 8MP wide-angle of the Realme 7 give good quality, bright colors, details, slightly sharp definition, good light range. The device has a color enhancement feature, similar to the super vibrant color mode on Oppo devices. In some situations where it is overcast, lacks sunlight, or is dark, this mode can improve the color and brightness of the image quite useful.

Although there is no 2X optical zoom telephoto camera, thanks to the high resolution, it is possible to use 2X digital zoom on Realme 7, and the quality is still at a good level.

In low light, the Realme 7’s 64MP camera still retains good shutter speed, brightness, and details, especially details in dark areas in the image despite the appearance of a lot of noise. However, the 8MP wide-angle camera is not like that; the colors and details of the photos are drastically reduced. Fortunately, the Realme 7 has a night mode, which can be used with both the 64MP and wide-angle cameras, greatly improving the image quality.

The 2MP macro camera continues to be just a fun, innocuous feature. Low resolution with aperture, the limited sensor causes poor detail, pale colors. Besides, the focal length is not long enough, and the focusing distance of 4cm is still far away, so the photos taken with the macro camera do not leave much impression. Using the 64MP main camera with 2X or 3X zoom, you can even create much better macro photos.

Smooth performance, a slight increase in graphics processing power

In terms of performance, Realme 7 is the first smartphone equipped with MediaTek Helio G95 processor, an upgrade of Helio G90T on Realme 6. 8GB RAM capacity and 128GB internal memory (with a memory card slot next to 2 SIMs, support up to 256GB).

Compared to Helio G90T, the Helio G95 processor mainly focuses on upgrading graphics processing capabilities when the Mali-G76 MC4 GPU is clocked to 900MHz from 800MHz of the previous generation. Meanwhile, the CPU specifications remain the same with eight cores (2 cores 2.05 GHz Cortex-A76 and six cores 2.0 GHz Cortex-A55). Quickly measured by familiar benchmark software such as AnTuTu, GeekBench, GFXBench, the performance score of Realme 7 is indeed slightly better than Realme 6 in graphics capabilities.

Realme 7 still gives a very smooth experience with common tasks, especially the transition effects when opening and closing applications happen quickly “dizzy.” Swiping to navigate to the main screen, swiping the edge to back, or swiping the bottom edge to switch between apps quickly is also very agile and smooth.

With familiar games like PUBG Mobile, Call of Duty Mobile, Arena of valor Mobile, Dead Trigger 2, or League of Legends Wild Rift, Helio G95 on Realme 7 still maintains its performance while allowing max settings all to be enabled graphics settings, get a high frame rate, good stability.

The device has also overcome the high-temperature problem of the Helio G90T chips, operating completely cool despite playing games continuously for a long time.

Battery life is enough for a day and a half, fast charging.

The battery of Realme 7, as mentioned, is raised to 5000 mAh, significantly increased compared to 4300 mAh of Realme 6. But quite surprising when Realme 7 is not thicker and heavier than Realme 6. The included charger still has a capacity of 30W with a large size, almost double the normal charger.

According to Realme, this charger uses its own Dart Charge technology, but this is still VOOC technology from the parent company Oppo. Proof when using the VOOC charger from Realme 6, or even the Warp Charge charger from OnePlus 8 Pro, still receives Dart Charge fast charging. Realme announced that it takes 65 minutes to charge the Realme 7 with the included 30W charger fully.

It took me 67 minutes to fully charge from 0% to 100%, of which the first 15 minutes charged 34% and 30 minutes charged 61%. That is a fairly agile battery charging speed, equivalent to the elder Realme 6. It can be seen that 30W charging is still enough to “carry” well the 5000 mAh battery of Realme 7.

Realme 7’s battery life in BiaReview’s standard battery tests is also good with 15 hours and 46 minutes of continuous movie watching, 6 hours and 24 minutes of continuous gaming, and 11 hours and 51 minutes of continuous web surfing. In normal daily use, I usually achieve 8-9 hours of on-screen time with intense intensity, including web browsing, photography, gaming, 4G, Bluetooth, GPS continuously. If I take the trouble to turn off the GPS when not in use, I can completely last one and a half to 2 days before needing to charge. The battery test results between 90Hz and 60Hz screens are not too big, so you can confidently turn on 90Hz mode for a smooth experience.

More pure Google software, highly customizable, can force Dark Mode for Facebook.

Regarding software, Realme 7 still comes with Android 10 pre-installed running on Realme UI 1.0 interface. Realme UI is made purer of Google, reducing the colorful customizations of ColorOS on Realme and Oppo devices. App Drawer application tray is added for more scientific app management.

Navigation gestures are much smoother. You can swipe at the bottom edge of the screen or swipe and hold from the edge of the screen to switch between apps very conveniently, similar to iOS.

The Dark Mode dark interface has appeared, and the good thing is that Realme can “force” even apps that don’t have Dark Mode like Facebook, Messenger to this interface with high compatibility. Reasonable colors a bit gray, not completely black, easier to see, especially in the dark.

Realme UI also allows quite a deep customization of the system interface from tweaking the shape and size of icons. Changing the entire interface according to themes or double-clicking the screen to turn it on and off, there is almost no need to use the power key again.

Realme UI also allows quite a deep customization of the system interface from tweaking the shape and size of icons. Changing the entire interface according to themes or double-clicking the screen to turn it on and off, there is almost no need to use the power key again. However, the device still comes pre-installed with many bloatware apps such as TikTok, WPS Office…

Summary

Realme 7 continues to converge almost all the elements to create an attractive smartphone. Realme representatives from good to good from design, performance, battery life, camera quality, and software are represented by Realme representatives. The most valuable is the high-frequency screen, agile performance, smooth experience, and 30W large-capacity fast charging technology, which significantly shortens the charging time. The limitations on the previous generation, such as slow focus camera or not too “long” duration, are overcome on Realme 7.

The “great rival” of Realme 7 is certainly none other than Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC. The advantage of the Realme 7 over the competition is the larger RAM capacity. However, the Poco X3 NFC has a better price and a longer warranty, a higher refresh rate screen, and a Snapdragon chip, with inherent higher stability.
