Realme GT 7 Pro confirmed to launch in India as the first Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered smartphone

The Realme GT 7 Pro will be unveiled in China this month with the freshly announced Snapdragon 8 Elite flagship chip at the helm. It will launch internationally next month, debuting in over ten countries, including India. While Realme hasn't revealed the India launch date of the GT 7 Pro, the brand today announced that the GT 7 Pro will launch in India next month as India's first Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered smartphone.

The Realme GT 7 Pro will be sold through Amazon in India, but it should also be available through Realme's Indian website and offline retail stores.

Power that sets new benchmarks! 🚀

We were expecting the iQOO 13 to launch in India as India's first Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered smartphone. It's rumored to debut in India in early December, but will likely be introduced in China before that.

Back in February 2020, iQOO was all set to launch the iQOO 3 5G in India as the country's first 5G smartphone, but Realme decided to rain on its parade by launching the Realme X50 Pro 5G a day before as the Asian country's first 5G smartphone. We wouldn't be surprised if iQOO returns the favor by doing the same with the iQOO 13's India launch.

Circling back to the Realme GT 7 Pro, the smartphone's up for pre-orders in China, and a recent underwater unboxing video suggested it will have an IP68/69 rating, which would be a first for a Realme smartphone.

Expect to hear more about the Realme GT 7 Pro in the coming days.
