Reports have surfaced that as many as four Chinese smartphone brands, such as OnePlus, iQOO, Realme, and Redmi, are preparing to launch affordable flagship phones in China. While the Redmi K70 Ultra will be powered by the Dimensity 9300+ chipset, the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro, iQOO Neo 9S Pro+ and Realme GT 7 are expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. Tipster Smart Pikachu shared some details about the OnePlus and Realme flagship phones and their expected price range.
Realme GT 7
On June 20, Realme will launch the Realme GT 6 smartphone based on Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 to the global market. Speaking of the Chinese market, Realme introduced the Realme GT 5 Pro in December 2023. This year, the brand launched the Realme GT Neo 6 SE and GT Neo 6 phones in China. Early rumors suggested that Realme GT 6 could be the name of Realme’s upcoming flagship phone.
However, a leak from Smart Pikachu suggests that the brand may have decided to ditch the Realme GT 6 brand and instead call it the Realme GT 7. Readers should note that the GT 7 moniker is not yet official. The brand has already confirmed that it will release the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4-powered Realme GT 7 Pro by the end of this year, suggesting that the GT 7 could be the next phone.
OnePlus Ace 3 Pro, Realme GT 7 price: What to expect
A leak has revealed that the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro and Realme GT 7 share many similarities, making them ideal for users who prioritize performance. Both phones are equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and 1.5K screens (one is curved and the other is flat). Both support 100W fast charging, with the Realme charging slightly faster and the OnePlus having a slightly larger battery.
In addition, both models have a special graphics chip and a powerful cooling system. For those who are not focused on camera performance and are considering a price range within 3000 yuan (~420 USD), these two phones offer good options. Thus, it seems that the Ace 3 Pro and G7 could cost between 3000 yuan (~420 USD) and 4000 yuan (~560 USD). Both phones are expected to hit the market in July.
