The rivalry in the mid-premium smartphone market has increased when Realme launched the Realme GT 7, the newest model in its GT family, in India. It is positioned squarely against the OnePlus 13R at launch. Both gadgets offer flagship-level performance without going over budget, but how do they compare?

Although they differ greatly, both smartphones have large 6.78-inch AMOLED screens. The Realme GT 7 has an IP69 rating for exceptional water and dust protection, Armour Shell Glass, and a maximum brightness of 6,000 nits. This is a significant advantage, especially in terms of durability.

A ProXDR AMOLED screen with LTPO 4.1 technology and a maximum brightness of 4,500 nits is available on the OnePlus 13R. Although it lacks the GT 7's greater IP certification, its quad-curved shape and Gorilla Glass 7i protection on the front and back give it a more upscale feel.

The Realme GT 7's internal components include the Immortalis-G720 MC12 GPU and the latest MediaTek Dimensity 9400e processor. Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which has demonstrated superior performance, is the choice of OnePlus.

Both phones include UFS 4.0 storage and up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM. Three years of OS upgrades and four years of security fixes are promised for the GT 7, which runs Realme UI 6.0 based on Android 15. On the other hand, the OnePlus 13R will receive six years of security upgrades and four years of OS updates.

With a huge 7,000mAh battery and 120W wired charging, Realme leads the field once more. Although not nearly as aggressive, the OnePlus 13R's smaller 6,000mAh battery with 80W SUPERVOOC charging is still decent.
