The software font is covered by realme UI based on Android 10. The battery comes in at 5,000 mAh and supports 30W fast wired charging.

The Realme 7 5G will retail for £279 in its base 6/128GB trim but a limited Black Friday offer will shave off £50, bringing the price down to £229 between November 27-30. This in turn makes Realme 7 5G the most affordable 5G phone in Europe.
