Realme GT7 Pro gets pre-order page and immersive unboxing preview
Realme claims to have amassed nearly 20,000 reservations for a GT7 Pro to date, ahead of the next-gen device's formal October 2024 launch in its native China.
Those prospective buyers might have been drawn to the upcoming flagship by its new video trailer, which purports to demonstrate that it has the build quality necessary to withstand being unboxed while fully submerged in a swimming pool.
Accordingly, the GT7 Pro should be able to keep up with other cutting-edge devices such as the Find X8 Pro, which has also recently been revealed to work underwater (which, on that note, is what its new Camera Control-style button is apparently for).
In fact, the GT7 Pro will be particularly competitive with an IP69 rating on its launch, according to the blog SmartPrix based on a tip from the leaker Yogesh Brar.
The leakers also now assert that the GT7 Pro will become the first Snapdragon 8 "Extreme" (or "Elite") smartphone to make it to India, beating the iQOO 13 with a more timely November 2024 launch.
