"Izvestia" tested the flagship smartphone GT7 Pro

Pre-orders for the new GT7 Pro smartphone from realme will open in the evening of November 26. "Izvestia" tested the flagship device. The smartphone boasts powerful parameters: Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, IP69 protection and 6500 mAh battery.

The gray market of smartphones is growing in Russia

Retailers say that almost every third device is imported with violations - what is the danger of buying such gadgets?

The gadget features the most powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite processor for Android smartphones, which will remain record-breakingly fast until the fall of 2025. And this is the first smartphone of the "new wave", which came to Russia in the global version, told "Izvestia" editor-in-chief of the Ferra website Evgeny Kharitonov.

Previously, for devices with good cameras never installed batteries with a capacity of 6500 mAh, they were the domain of highly specialized smartphones for amateurs, he noted.

The main disadvantage of the novelty was called relatively fast heating of the smartphone during gaming sessions with maximum graphics settings. Specialists advise careful handling, do not play while charging the device and dose the time for entertainment with 15 minutes per session.

"Under prolonged load, Snapdragon 8 Elite overheats so much that it drops performance by about 40% and becomes slower than last year's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. All new products with this processor will be faster than the old ones, but only when the load is less than 30 minutes or when the load is smoothly distributed between the graphics gas pedal and the processor," - said the expert.
