While an exact release date for GT 7 Pro hasn’t been revealed yet, watchers expect a November release. This device is notable for being the first in India to feature the new Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. Ahead of the official launch, key specifications have surfaced through TENAA certification.
The Realme GT 7 Pro is anticipated to showcase a 6.78-inch Samsung Eco² OLED Plus micro-curved display with a resolution of 2780 x 1264 pixels. It will likely support a variable refresh rate from 1 to 120Hz and boasts a peak brightness of 6,000 nits.
Under the hood, it is anticipated to offer storage options ranging from 128GB to 1TB and RAM variants from 8GB to 24GB. The device is expected to feature a 6,500mAh battery with 120W fast charging and a triple rear camera setup, including two 50MP sensors and an 8MP lens, complemented by a 16MP front camera. The phone might run on Realme UI 6.0 based on Android 15, potentially with IP68/69 certification for water resistance.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to address two rallies in poll-bound Jharkhand on November 4, Union minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan told reporters. He added that the PM and Home Minister Amit Shah will kick off the election campaign in the eastern state.
“For the development of Jharkhand, a double-engine government is required here. People of the state cannot be happy as long as there is a JMM-Congress (RJD) government. Development work came to a standstill here, and the law and order situation turned worse with over 7,400 rape cases and more than 8,000 murders in Jharkhand during the present regime,” Chouhan said.
The Jharkhand assembly polls will be held in two phases — November 13 and November 20. Counting of votes will take place on November 23.
