Weekly poll results: Realme 7 5G gets a lukewarm reception, its Black Friday gambit fails

The need for 5G is a contentious topic with many still not being sold on the next-gen network technology – or just plain not having access to it. Which doesn’t bode well for the Realme 7 5G whose defining feature is... well, it says it right in the name.

However, the results from last week’s poll show that lack of 5G hype is not the phone’s biggest issue. No, most voters aren’t convinced that this is the best 5G mid-ranger that money can buy, not even with the Black Friday discount it had this week.

Some are holding off until reviews of the phone come out – speaking of which, check out ours. We found the Dimensity 800U to be quite competitive with the Snapdragon 765G, battery life was great and the 120Hz IPS LCD is solid too (though the software side could use a bit of a touch up).

Unfortunately, the Black Friday discount is over. You may have a look at the Realme X50 5G, which is currently down to €280, but the Realme 7 5G is actually slightly better. There should be another deal around the corner, so if you're patient you can still score a 7 5G for under €280.
