Cameras

The Realme GT 7 features a triple rear camera setup similar to the GT 7 Pro, 

with one key difference: the tertiary 50MP lens. The handset includes a 50MP

 primary sensor, an 8MP ultrawide lens, and a 50MP telephoto unit with 

2x optical zoom instead of 3x. That said, the front camera sees an upgrade from 

16MP to 32MP for selfies and video calling. 

The camera setup is typical of what you get on smartphones within the segment. 

There are also several modes to explore, including an AI Landscape mode that 

applies environment-specific filters, like Mountain, City, and Island, to enhance 

your landscape shots. Moreover, the smartphone supports 8K videography

 at 30fps from the primary camera and 4K at 30fps from the front.

Talking about the real-world performance, the Realme GT 7 delivers consistently

 natural and balanced photos, especially when it comes to colour accuracy and 

dynamic range. Moreover, it handles light well in both daylight and low-light scenarios, 

keeping highlights in check and preserving detail in shadows. In dimly lit environments, 

the handset avoids excessive grain and flare, producing crisp shots. Selfies look sharp 

and lifelike, with accurate skin tones. Overall, the GT 7 offers a refined, true-to-scene 

photography experience that outperforms many in its class.
