realme 7 5G: price

The new realme 7 5G smartphone is sold at a list price of 279 euros.

Aesthetics and design

From an aesthetic point of view, the new member of realme has nothing to envy to more expensive smartphones. The FHD + screen from 6,5 inches, for example, has some extremely small frames, which contribute to its aesthetic appeal. Even the back, with a two-piece coloring and a very rich rear photographic department, return a 'premium' feeling.

Realme 7 5G review: a quality smartphone at an affordable price The "illusion" only lasts until you pick up the device. The low weight, despite the huge battery from 5000 mAh, he reveals, along with the touch, the body of plastic of the device. Not that this is in itself a negative factor, on the contrary: plastic is made of quality and it turns out solid, with arguably greater impact resistance than many glass rears now common on higher-end phones.

Another sign of the budget price range of this device is the presence of a audio jack. A detail here too positive that saves the audio department as a whole, characterized for the rest by a decent speaker system but of the type mono.

Daily fluidity, performance and characteristics

Despite the presence of a processor MediaTek, generally considered less performing and capable than their counterparts Qualcomm, the performances proved to be extremely satisfactory. Between the chip Dimension 800U and the screen with refresh rate a 120 Hzin fact, the navigation interface, opening and using apps and multitasking general turn out a lot fluids e free of ailments.

Also 'autonomy and charging speed da 30W are features that contribute to a seamless experience. The first, which has practically always settled between two and three days of autonomy and 5-6 hours of screen use, eliminates the need to charge the phone during the day. The second, on the other hand, greatly reduces the time attached to the cable, with full recharges in about an hour.

The access modalities are also very satisfactory: both the optical face unlock that a side fingerprint sensor. The first, not being based on an infrared sensor, is fast but probably not sure, and is not in fact proposed as a biometric identification method from the mobile banking o password manager. The second, on the other hand, turns out to be the perfect combination of safety e speed, beating in the latter department many of the more modern (and expensive) sensors integrated in the display.

Realme 7 5G smartphone: weaknesses

However, since this is a phone from just under € 300 not everything is perfect and there are obviously more or less acceptable compromises. The first concerns the photographic department, which is rich and valuable for this price range, but which nevertheless presents several limitations. On paper, the components are very respectable: on the back we have a main sensor from 48 MP, flanked by a 8Mp ultra wide angle, a lens monochromatic for details and a sensor macro da 2 MP. In front, however, the sensor is unique and from 16MP.

The photos taken are mostly good and in general perfectly usable on social media for stories e post. However, the loss of details and poor color quality in any condition that is not perfectly illuminated, even in contexts where other cell phones would have no problems. If then many software features, such as the AI scene recognition or the Expert mode, are well done, others, like the modality Ultra Macro or the night, on the other hand, they leave more to be desired.

Another sore point concerns the operating system. In general the really UI, also thanks to the hardware seen before, it has never been slow or awkward. There are also several useful and valuable features, such as the ability to Cloning different apps and more discreet handling of notifications during play sessions. The flaw is rather in the quantity of pre-installed software (Noto anche come bloatware), which runs from redundant al advertising. Many of the additional apps are user-delectable, but others, such as the service ORoaming for the purchase of data packages, they are instead fully integrated into the phone.

Conclusions: to buy or not to buy the realme 7 5G

To conclude our review of the realme 7 5G, we leave you with our opinion on the purchase of the device. Net of the compromises seen, in our opinion the realme 7 5G remains a great mobile, extremely valid both considering the price range and the general performance necessary for everyday life.
