The Realme X7 Max is the company’s new premium mid-range smartphone, after being delayed due to the lockdown in India. Today, it was unveiled alongside a pair of new smart TVs.
A rebranded Realme GT Neo for the country, the Realme X7 Max joins the X7 and X7 Pro from earlier in the year in the company’s affordable 5G smartphone portfolio. While it was originally supposed to launch in early May, it still manages to be India’s first smartphone to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chipset.
