Realme 7 Review in Hindi, Review of Realme 7
realme 7 design
Realme 7 has a mirror-split design, which creates interesting patterns when light falls on it. We had the Mist Blue color option of the phone, but the phone also comes in White color. Overall, the Realme 7 looks different from the back compared to the previous model, which was something the company desperately needed as the rest of the phone didn’t see much change.
In the rest of the design, Realme 7 is quite similar to Realme 6. Fingerprint sensor, SIM tray and all ports are provided at the bottom on both the phones. The Realme 7 is actually thicker (9.4mm) and heavier (196.5g) than the Realme 6. The credit for this goes to its big battery. Texting or photography with one hand isn’t as easy due to the extra weight.
Realme 7 feels sturdy. It still comes with plastic in the frame and back panel. The SIM tray has three slots for two nano-SIMs and a microSD card. It comes with a 6.5-inch full-HD+ LCD panel with a hole-punch cutout and Gorilla Glass 3 protection against scratches. Like Realme 6, it has a 90 Hz refresh rate. The display can be very bright and colors appear well saturated. We noticed some off-axis vignetting at the edges of the screen when there’s a light background, but it’s not a noticeable problem.
Overall, the Realme 7 feels solidly built for a budget phone. However we are not too happy about the increase in weight, which definitely makes it feel heavy in everyday use.
Realme 7 performance and software
Realme 7 is the first phone to come with MediaTek Helio G95 processor. This is an updated version of the Helio G90T that was seen in the Realme 6, but it’s not a major upgrade. The only change is that the clock speed of the included Mali-G76 GPU has been increased from 800Mhz to 900MHz. The rest of the specifications of the chipset seem to be the same. It is still a 12nm octa-core chip.
The base variant of Realme 7 has 6 GB RAM and 64 GB storage, which is priced at Rs 14,999 and its 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage is priced at Rs 16,999. As before, it comes with LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.1 flash storage.
The performance of the phone is good. Realme 7 runs on Realme UI based on Android 10. It recognizes faces quickly and accurately and its side-mounted fingerprint sensor is also fast. The interface is simple, which feels fast considering it has 8GB of RAM. Apps generally load quickly and scrolling through menus feels smooth thanks to the 90Hz refresh rate. Features like live wallpapers and smart sidebar, built-in screen recorder, and many gestures and shortcuts are nice add-ons.
Realme 7 is also good at gaming. Battle Prime looked great at the highest graphics settings and gameplay was smooth. Racing games like CarX Drift Racing 2 also provide a good experience. The Game Space app helps organize all your games in one place and gives you easy access to things like screen recordings and WhatsApp messages while you play.
realme 7 battery life
The Realme 7 comes with a 5,000mAh battery, which is much larger than the 4,300mAh capacity of the Realme 6. Even with typical heavy usage I easily got a full day and a half of backup on a single charge. The Realme 7 lasted a little over 24 hours in our HD video battery loop test, which is great performance.
Realme 7 comes with 30W Dart Charge fast charging support, which charges it from zero to 100 in about 65 minutes. If the Realme charger you have doesn’t work, you can also use fast charging with 15W USB-C power delivery.
Realme 7 cameras
The third major change in Realme 7 compared to Realme 6 is the primary rear camera. It still has 64 megapixel resolution, but Realme has a Sony IMX682 sensor instead of the Samsung GW1 sensor. Realme also says that the company is using a new “Ultra High Definition” algorithm for the 64-megapixel, which will deliver better clarity and detail than the sensor on the Realme 6. ,
Here is a comparison of the cameras of Realme 7 and Realme 6, which will give you a clear idea of how much has changed in the camera setup. If we zoom in on a section of the buildings, we see that the Realme 6 captured a cleaner photo with less grain, but the textures were quite smooth. Realme 7 captures textures better, but there is some grain in the photo.
However, when shooting in the default photo mode, there is a noticeable improvement in the pixel-binned images captured by the Realme 7. It comes with better dynamic range and exposure, with better detail than the Realme. Low light photos look very clear. Shots captured using Night Mode look good. Overall, the new sensor is slightly better than the old one and it is not bad.
The Realme 7 also does a good job with close-ups. Detail and colors are very good and autofocus works well. However, the rest of the cameras are pretty much the same as we have already seen on the Realme 6. To a large extent, you will get similar experience in both the phones.
The ultra wide-angle camera captures a larger area, but detail and colors appear weaker than the primary camera sensor. This problem becomes more visible after cropping the photo. Portrait shots generally looked good and you get the option to adjust the background blur before shooting. The 2-megapixel macro camera isn’t special and even photos taken in good lighting look quite poor.
We found the 16-megapixel selfie camera to be okay. Selfies taken during the day look decent, but we would have liked if HDR had worked better. Portrait mode is useful, as it crops the background correctly. You can get usable selfies in the evening or at night, provided there is good lighting all around. Night mode is available, but selfies appear sharper in our experience.
Verdict
The Realme 7 doesn’t come with any huge upgrades over the existing Realme 6, but it is marginally better enough with its bigger battery and better primary camera sensor. Overall performance is great, battery life is tremendous and the 90Hz panel performance makes general use easy and smooth. The Realme 7 looks great, but it is heavier and thicker than the Realme 6 and the video recording quality in general could be better. At a starting price of Rs 14,999, it offers good value.
We think Realme 6 users don’t need to worry about an upgrade, as they won’t notice much difference in the Realme 7 compared to their existing smartphones. The base variant of the Realme 7, however, is a good pick for those who want a high refresh rate screen but are on a tight budget.
