Realme GT 7 Pro Racing Edition arrives with bypass charging and one less camera

Sagar, 13 February 2025

Realme launched the GT 7 Pro last November, and as promised, the brand unveiled its Racing Edition today. Like the regular model, the Realme GT 7 Pro Racing Edition is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, but we are looking at differences in the camera, display, storage, and battery departments.

While the Realme GT 7 Pro features a triple camera setup on the rear comprising 50MP primary, 50MP telephoto, and 8MP ultrawide units, the GT 7 Pro Racing Edition sports a dual camera setup, which doesn't include the telephoto camera. Its primary camera also uses a different sensor: Sony IMX896 instead of the IMX906. The 16MP selfie camera remains the same, though.

Moving on to the display, the Realme GT 7 Pro packed a Samsung Eco2 OLED Plus screen with 120% DCI-P3 coverage and an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner underneath, while the GT 7 Pro Racing Edition is built around a screen having 100% DCI-P3 coverage and an optical fingerprint reader embedded.

Moreover, the Realme GT 7 Pro Racing Edition uses faster storage (UFS 4.1 vs. UFS 4.0), and its battery supports bypass charging. You can check the detailed specs comparison of the GT 7 Pro and GT 7 Pro Racing Edition here.

80% limit doesn't become useless, if you bypass the battery at 100%, you're still destroying the battery, while not even using it. 80% limit + AC state is powerful on the other hand, like my laptop is doing right now, turning into a PC inst...

I remember back in the days this "premium feature" was standard and some phones like the first Huawei Honor did work without a battery.
