While this might seem like an
obvious expectation, even with such
a big cell, the inclusion of a more
powerful processor, a higher refresh rate
display and 5G should all contribute
to greater power drain. Instead – no
doubt partly thanks to Realme UI’s
stern power management and the
Dimensity800U’ssmaller7nmprocess- theRealme7 5G matches, or in some
instances,outperformsthe4Gmodel’s
powerprofile.
The phone doles out an impressive
nine hours of screen-on time, which

inclusion of 30-watt fast charging under
Realme’s ‘Dart Charge’ branding.
In our tests, the included charger
took that sizeable 5,000mAh power pack
from empty to 62 per cent charge in
30 minutes – 4 per cent more than the
standard Realme 7 charged up in the
same time frame. A
full charge takes, on
average, a sliver over
an hour, which is also
very respectable.
If, for whatever
reason, you want to
get more life out of
a single charge of
the Realme 7 5G’s
battery, there are a
number of methods
on offer. Realme UI
