  • Comes with high IP66/IP68/IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance, adding to its durability.
  • The 50MP main rear camera with a Sony IMX882 sensor and OIS takes clean, high-resolution, and detailed pictures.

What we don't like about realme Neo7 SE (12GB + 512GB)

  • The 16MP front camera is considered a downgrade from the 32MP lens on the previous model (Realme Neo 6 SE).
  • Charging speed has been reduced from 100W on the predecessor to 80W on this model.
  • The 8MP ultra-wide camera is considered decent but not the best in its class.
  • The phone does not have a 3.5mm audio jack or support wireless charging.
  • Some users express concerns about Realme's software update policy, with a lack of major Android updates being a potential issue.
  • The phone was initially launched only in China, which has led to availability issues and concerns about the global version and pre-installed ROMs for international users.

Verdict

The Realme Neo 7 SE (12GB + 512GB) is a powerful mid-range smartphone featuring a 6.78-inch 1.5K 120Hz LTPO OLED display with a stunning 6000 nits peak brightness, powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8400-Max chipset. Key pros include a massive 7,000mAh silicon-carbon battery with 80W fast charging, an IP69/IP68/IP66 rating for dust and water resistance, and a capable 50MP main camera with OIS. Potential cons are a downgraded 16MP front camera compared to previous models and the absence of a 3.5mm headphone jack.
