Realme 7 Pro offers a Dimensity 800U processor and 5G + 5G dual SIM card allow users to make international calls, split work from play, or achieve speed superposition from two different networks. 

The battery allows up to 35 hours of calls, and up to 17 hours of YouTube entertainment. 

The smartphone comes with 30W Dart charge, a low-voltage and high-current solution that charges the device quickly and efficiently. It charges from empty in 65 minutes and delivers a 60 per cent charge in 30 minutes.
