Realme GT 7T hands-on
Say hello to the Realme GT 7T! It sits just below the GT 7, costing €100/INR 5,000 less. We'll address the differences in a bit, but let's start by examining the GT 7T on its own.
The Realme GT 7T ships with a case and a USB cable in Europe, but adds a 120W charger in India. The phone comes in 12/256 GB and 12/512 GB flavors, while the GT 7 goes up to 16/512 GB (in its Aston Martin-inspired Dream Edition).
In the hand, the Realme GT 7T is striking with its weight. It's just 202 grams - not light, but certainly impressive considering the 7,000mAh battery inside. The use of a plastic frame and fiberglass back panel makes this reasonable weight possible.
The Realme GT 7T comes in the same IceSense Black and IceSense Blue colours as the GT 7, but adds a Racing Yellow, a nod to designs of old - remember the GT 5G Racing Yellow and the GT Neo3 150W?

We love the vegan leather finish. It truly feels exquisite to the touch. The shade is nice and very eye-catching. This would be our pick of the bunch.
The display of the Realme GT 7T differs from that of the GT 7. It's not an LTPO panel, has a few more pixels, and is 0.2-inch bigger. We didn't really notice any difference between the two (the LTPO panel of the GT 7 might make a difference with the battery life, however).
We love the Racing Yellow
The middle frame is plastic like on the GT 7, but it gives off a very convincing brushed metal effect. The frame is color-matched on the Black and Blue units, too. On the yellow, it has a silvery-metallic finish.
Let's talk about the differences between the Realme GT 7 and the GT 7T. You wouldn't notice them in the hand (Racing Yellow vs Dream Edition aside). The GT 7T has the same 50MP 24mm f/1.8 main and 8MP 16mm f/2.2 ultrawide cameras as the GT 7. The same goes for the 32MP 21mm f/2.5.
The Realme GT 7 does however offer a third camera on the back - a second 50MP unit with a 2x zoom (so around 48mm) with a bright f/2.0 optic. We liked the photos from the 2x camera in our review of the Realme GT 7.
The other difference is the chipset - Realme "demoted" the GT 7T to the Dimensity 8400 Max over the Dimensity 9400e. Both are built on the 4nm process, but the 9400e adds extra connectivity options such as Wi-Fi 7.
The processor inside the Dimensity 9400e has four Cortex-X4 prime cores - one peaking at 3.4GHz and three at 2.85GHz. The Dimensity 8400 Max relies only on Cortex-A725 cores - one at a maximum of 3.25GHz, three at 3.0GHz, four at 2.1GHz.
The graphics side is more slated towards the Dimensity 9400e, which has an Immortalis-G720 MC12 vs the MC7 on the Dimensity 8400 Max.
Because you still get the 7,000mAh battery and 120W charging, along with the same display visual quality (if not its LTPO tech), the GT 7T might present a very interesting alternative for those on a budget. Realme GT 7T 5G

Pixel Superfans invite hints Pixel 10 phones could launch earlier than their predecessors
Google unveiled the Pixel 9 series smartphones (except the Pixel 9a) last year in August, and if you expected the Pixel 10 lineup to follow the same launch timeframe, that might not be the case since the Pixel Superfans invite hints at an early launch of the Pixel 10 series. Google Pixel 9a The folks at Android Authority shared an invite sent by Google to the Pixel Superfans for a 1.5-hour Pixel Penthouse event in London on June 27, where "they will get hands on with pre-release Pixel devices and features." Google's Pixel Penthouse event invite for Pixel Superfans The invite doesn't divulge anything about these pre-release Pixel devices, but if we had to guess, these would be the Pixel 10 smartphones. Google says the Pixel Penthouse is "this year's exclusive pre-launch event," hinting at an earlier-than-expected launch of the Pixel 10 series, possibly by the end of July. Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold's leaked renders (Source: Android Headlines) Remember that Android 16 is also slated to get a stable release earlier than Android 15. Google confirmed that it would be released in Q2 2025, meaning before the end of June, so the launch of the Pixel 10 series sometime in July is very much possible. Source

Deals: Realme GT 7 and 7T launch, Xperia 1 VII on pre-order, Galaxy S25 Edge arrives
Several new releases are clamoring for your attention – some come with solid discounts, others not so much. Here's a closer look at the new offerings. The Realme GT 7 is equipped with a Dimensity 9400e – despite the name, this is closer to the 9300 than it is to the 9400. As we note in our review, the chip is fast, but sustained performance is an issue. Still, you get a lot of hardware for the price. This includes a 6.78' LTPO OLED (120Hz, 1264p+, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, 6,000 nits peak brightness) and a 7,000mAh battery with 120W charging and battery bypass. Battery life is quite awesome! The triple camera on the back includes a 50MP main, a 50MP 2x telephoto and an unremarkable 8MP ultra-wide. The phone is rated IP69. It comes with Android 15 out of the box and will receive 4 OS updates and two extra years of security patches. The Realme GT 7T is €100 less, but you give up quite a bit. Not the IP69 rating and not the 7,000mAh battery either (complete with 120W charging and battery bypass). That said, the 6.8' display is a non-LTPO panel (it still reaches 6,000 nits peak, though). Also, the chipset is knocked down to a Dimensity 8400 Max – quite fast, but doesn't challenge flagship chips the way that the 9400e does. The 50MP 2x camera is gone too. Their predecessors are still around – the Realme GT 6 gets you that LTPO panel that the 7T doesn't and the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 holds up decently against the Dimensity 8400. This model also has a 50MP main, 50MP 2x tele and 8MP ultra-wide. The battery is smaller – not that 5,500mAh is small (charging is the same at 120W). And the water resistance is only IP64. Realme GT 6 €290 off Read our review 12/256GB - €410 at Amazon DE Then there's the even cheaper Realme GT 6T. The 6.78' LTPO panel (same as the GT) is nice and the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 gets close to the 8s Gen 3. However, we'd rather spend €50 extra and get the higher performance chip and the tele camera (which is missing from the 6T). Realme GT 6T €190 off Read our review 8/256GB - €360 at Amazon DE Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge launched this week, which means that the free storage upgrade promo is over. You can get a €50 discount on the 512GB model if you are a Prime Student member, but it's not the same. The Sony Xperia 1 VII launches next week. The phone brings some notable upgrades, but some things (like the telephoto camera) still need work. The longer software support window is nice – 4 OS updates and 2 extra years of security patches. Still, Holy Moly, Batman, what was Sony thinking with that price? Yes, you get a free pair of Sony WH-1000XM5, which are pretty great over-ear headphones, but the new XM6 are even better. The Honor 400 and 400 Pro launched last week. The Pro model is powered by last year's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and boasts a 200MP camera (1/1.4', OIS) in addition to a 50MP 3x telephoto and 12MP ultra-wide. The phone is rated IP69 and has a 6.7' 120Hz OLED display. The battery for Europe is only 5,300mAh ('only' because other regions get 6,000mAh) and it supports fast wired (100W) and wireless (50W) charging. The vanilla Honor 400 drops down to a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 and an IP65 rating. It also has a slightly smaller 6.55' 120Hz OLED display, but the battery has the same capacity (5,300mAh for Europe) except now with 66W wired-only charging. Honor 400 Read our review 8/512GB - €500 at Amazon DE The Nothing Phone (3a) is one of the few phones in its price range that has a telephoto camera – 50MP 2x (50mm) is on the short side, but it does a fine job. There's also a 50MP main (1/1.57', OIS) and an 8MP ultra-wide. The phone is powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 and a 5,000mAh battery with 50W charging. Its IP64 rating is on the low side for water resistance. Nothing is planning to deliver only 3 OS updates, but the phone will continue receiving security patches for a total of 6 years. About a month ago, Sony raised the prices of the PlayStation 5 in Europe and several other regions. Then Microsoft and Nintendo announced price hikes for their consoles too. Now Sony has cut the PS5 price back down. So, you can have a PS5 (Slim) for €450. Sony PlayStation 5 Slim €100 off You can also pick up an additional controller – the basic DualSense or the DualSense Edge. The Edge has extra controls (paddles on the back), remappable buttons and replaceable analog sticks. We may get a commission from qualifying sales.
