realme has a groundbreaking three-year strategic partnership with the Aston Martin Formula One Team. As a milestone in this collaboration, the co-branded GT 7 Dream Edition features a Racing Green finish, two-wing aerodynamic design, and an engraved silver wings badge. It comes with a collector’s box including a themed case and F1 SIM card pin.
The realme GT 7 Dream Edition is equipped with a 7000mAh battery and 120W fast charging. The smartphone can reach 50% charge in 14 minutes and full charge in 40 minutes. realme GT 7 uses Smart Bypass technology to manage heat and prolong battery lifespan and is the first to receive TÜV Rheinland 5-star battery certification.
“The GT series has consistently positioned itself as an AI performance flagship, delivering groundbreaking advancements with each iteration,” says Jace Chen, Country Manager at realme. “The theme for the GT 7 series, “Power that Never Stops,” signals our continued emphasis on exceptional performance and battery life.
“Motorsport fans, gamers, and tech enthusiasts will especially appreciate the luxury design, speed, multitasking ability, and camera intelligence we have integrated into a flagship smartphone. We’re particularly proud of the IceSense Graphene tech, which keeps your phone cool under pressure while staying light, strong, and sleek.”
Dream performance and AI innovation
The smartphone features IceSense Graphene technology to offer higher thermal conductivity, 360° heat dissipation, and the highest sustained performance. The GT 7 is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9400e chipset, built on the 4nm process from TSMC. The display is a 6.78-inch AMOLED screen with a peak brightness of 6000 nits and IP69-rated dust and water resistance.
A new AI-based feature, the AI Planner, allows users to manage daily tasks with a double-tap. realme has forged a partnership with Google to integrate the Gemini AI model into its latest devices.
