This announcement was confirmed by Realme's Vice President, Chase Xu, marking an exciting development for tech enthusiasts in the country. While specific details about the Realme GT 7 Pro's features and pricing are still under wraps, there is considerable buzz around its potential hardware. A well-known Chinese tipster has suggested that the GT 7 Pro could be among the first devices to incorporate Qualcomm's forthcoming high-performance chipset.

This information hints that Realme's upcoming flagship may debut with the next-generation Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC.
