Realme Neo 7x: Flagship-Level Power on a Budget
The Realme Neo 7x is stealing the spotlight as the first smartphone to feature Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 SoC. According to Realme’s Weibo post, this chipset shares the same “micro-kernel architecture” as the premium Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, promising flagship-tier efficiency and performance for gaming and multitasking.
But that’s not all. The Realme Neo 7x packs a 6,000mAh battery with bypass charging technology, recently seen in the Realme GT 7 Pro Racing Edition. This feature minimizes heat during charging and extends battery lifespan—a significant win for gamers and power users. Despite the hefty battery, Realme claims the device is impressively slim at 7.97mm thickness (thinner than the 8.56mm standard Realme Neo 7).
Durability is another highlight: the Realme Neo 7x boasts IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance, making it a rugged yet sleek option for outdoor enthusiasts.
Realme Neo 7 SE: MediaTek Muscle Under CNY 2,000
The Realme Neo 7 SE targets budget-conscious buyers without compromising on specs. It’s confirmed to run on MediaTek’s Dimensity 8400-Max SoC and is expected to retail below CNY 2,000 (roughly Rs. 24,000). Leaks suggest it will feature:
- A 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display (1,264 x 2,780 pixels) with a 120Hz refresh rate.
- A 50MP primary camera, 8MP ultrawide lens, and 16MP front shooter.
- A colossal 7,000mAh battery with 80W wired fast charging—perfect for all-day use.
- An in-display fingerprint sensor for security.
If these leaks hold, the Realme Neo 7 SE could dominate the budget segment with its premium display and battery combo.
Pricing & Competition
Realme is positioning the Realme Neo 7x in the CNY 1,000 range (approx. Rs. 12,000), making it a steal for Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 performance. Meanwhile, the Realme Neo 7 SE’s sub-CNY 2,000 price tag places it against rivals like the Redmi Note 13 Pro and Poco X6.
With pre-reservations already live, Realme is banking on hype to drive early sales.
Why These Phones Matter
The Realme Neo 7 series represents Realme’s aggressive push into the mid-range market with cutting-edge specs at accessible prices. The Snapdragon 6 Gen 4’s debut in the Neo 7x could set a new benchmark for budget gaming phones, while the Realme Neo 7 SE’s massive battery and 80W charging challenge competitors to up their game.
