This is the Realme X7 Max an alternative to the popular Realme - GT and it's made for the Indian market globally. It'll be sold as the Realme - GT neo. The X7 Max and the GT Neo look to be the same phones as the regular GT except they have a high-end MediaTek chipset replacing the snapdragon 888. Looking at the Realme X7 Max with a glossy stripe accent and shiny dare to leap logo, the same thing with the GT Neo. It even comes in the same colors when it catches the light in just the right way. Its textured matte finish seems to sparkle unlike the Realme - GT this vac is made from plastic, not glass. The phone is overall on the lighter side but it doesn't feel cheap.
The display is a 6.43-inch AMOLED with a 1080p resolution a fast 120hz refresh rate and a punch hole for the selfie camera. It's just like the screen of the Realme - GT except that this one has dragon trail glass protection and supports hdr10, not hdr10+. The fast 120-hertz refresh rate means that swiping and scrolling the UI looks extra smooth it's all quite responsive thanks to a 360hz touch sampling rate. However, it wasn't able to get any of the games, tried to run it above 60fps just like with the Realme - GT. The display itself is really nice. It's sharp and as an AMOLED quite contrast too. Colors are vivid by default and can be made pretty accurate if you play with the color settings and max brightness is respectable here too and this can get boosted up to 640 nits in auto mode when out in the bright sun, for audio the Realme X7 Max 5g has a traditional headphone jack and a pair of hybrid stereo speakers the top speaker is also the earpiece you also get Dolby Atmos support. the speakers are very similar in quality to those on the Realme - GT, they earned a rating of very good on loudness charts, and sound quality is decent but not particularly impressive, for your biometrics the Realme X7 max has an under-display fingerprint reader and is quite fast and responsive and you get 128 or 256 GB of storage onboard which isn't expandable.
The biggest difference between the Realme X7 max and the Realme - GT is the chipset rather than running on a flagship Snapdragon 888, the X7 max has a Mediatek Density 1200 5g which is built on a 6-nanometer process. It doesn't quite reach the high benchmark scores of the GT but performance is still flagship-grade comparable to that of phones that run on a snapdragon 860 or 870 chipsets. Games run great if you ignore the lack of high fps support and the thermals here are decent for something outside of a dedicated gaming phone plus you get 5g connectivity and the interface runs smoothly and hiccup-free. This interface is Realme UI 2.0 based on Android 11. It's quite clean and straightforward you have a smart sidebar quite similar to Samsung's edge panel. It's a convenient place to hold shortcuts for apps and functions, another interesting feature is that you can open supported apps within a mini window or a larger floating window, handy for multitasking. In the personalizations panel, you can find a bunch of options for changing the look of your interface from icons to themes and always on display styles and you have a gamespace app that stores shortcuts to your games as well as performance and notification options.
The cameras are exactly the same as those on the real me GT. There's a 64 Megapixel main camera and 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera and a 2-megapixel macro camera. 16 megapixel photos from the main camera are solid with low noise punchy colors and plenty of detail. It's not exactly a flagship-grade camera but it's quite decent. Portrait shots don't have stellar subject separation but they are good quality-wise with nice detail sharpness and colors. The ultra-wide camera is just average in quality for the class. Its photos have a different color rendition from the main camera's contrast and saturation aren't great either. Two-megapixel shots from the macro camera are decent, you get enough detail for this resolution and the colors are nice. Getting a sharp photo was a challenge though because of the lack of autofocus. Selfies are taken with a 16-megapixel front-facing camera and these have good detail and contrast and a decently wide dynamic range. In low light, the main camera holds up pretty well quality-wise there's a decent amount of detail thanks to the laid-back noise reduction and colors look true to life. The dynamic range is okay with shadows that aren't totally crushed and highlights which aren't all blown out, turning on night mode has a subtle effect, you get some of the highlight detail restored but that's pretty much it. The ultra-wide camera shoots nighttime photos which are dark and soft with limited dynamic range but there is net mode support and it not only fixes up the clip highlights but also makes the photos much sharper. Videos can be captured with the main camera and up to 4k resolution at 30fps, this footage is solid with plenty of detail and low noise. The colors are quite saturated though the ultrawide camera can only shoot in 1080p resolution and is not very impressive. The footage is lacking in detail with dull colors and some visible noise. There is electronic stabilization available for your 1080p videos from either camera wasn't very impressed here major bumps and shakes get smoothed out but there are plenty of smaller ones left behind and the footage is softer.
So that's the Realme X7 max 5g or GT neo if you prefer, there's a nice-looking design a great AMOLED screen with a fast 120hz refresh rate, stereo speakers, good battery life with decently fast charging, and good cameras for the class and while you get a MediaTek chipset it's flagship-grade. all of these add up to a flagship killing package plus at the end, this phone offers pretty much the same user experience as the Realme - GT except for the charging speed so if you can find the X7 max or GT neo either one is worth recommending as a cheaper alternative to the realme - GT.

The Realme X7 max has a 4500 milliamp-hour battery just like the real me GT though perhaps due to a more efficient chipset battery life is better here the X7 max scored a good endurance rating of 110 hours in proprietary tests. The phone also supports 50 watts super dart charging and was able to go from zero to 60 percent in half an hour even though it's slower than the Realme GT 65w charging is still quite solid.
