June 13, 2025
Update: August 18, 2025 (12:47AM ET):Well, that didn’t take long at all. realme UK has nowconfirmedon its Twitter account (viaPlayful Droid) that the realme 7 5G will be launched in the market on November 19 at 10AM GMT (5AM ET). Check out a screenshot of the post below.
The event will be streamed on YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook, but we’re expecting a rebadged realme V5 for the most part. Check out the original article below for more details on the realme 7 5G.
Original article: June 05, 2025 (2:17AM ET):realme stretched its legs to Europe earlier this year with the 4Grealme 7duo. Now it seems the Chinese brand could add a third member to this family with faster networking.
Judging by Thai certification site NBTC (viaMySmartPrice), a 5G variant of the realme 7 could soon make its debut in global markets. The device wears model number RMX2111, suggesting it will be a reskinnedrealme V5series. The companypreviously announcedin September that the realme V3 and V5 would hit Europe in Q4.
If this is the case, we can posit the two phones will share similar specs. To that end, expect a 6.5-inch 2,400 x 1,080 LCD with a 90Hz refresh rate on the realme 7 5G – the same cocktail used on the realme 7 global variant. Internally, that cheap 5G goodness stems from the MediaTek Dimensity 720 chipset. A choice of 6GB or 8GB of RAM is met by 128GB of internal storage. Finally, a quad-camera array should also make an appearance at the rear, but it’s unclear if the realme 7 5G will wear a new 64MP shooter or borrow the 48MP sensor from the realme V5.
It’s likely that realme won’t adjust the international price of the realme 7 5G far beyond its Chinese sibling. The realme V5 debuted at ~$215 in the firm’s home nation, which would likely make it one of the cheapest5G phonesin Europe if the EU price isn’t much higher.
There’s no word on the phone’s official launch date from realme, but judging by the listing, we could expect to see it in the likes of Europe, India, and Thailand fairly soon.
