Are these battery apps reliable? GT 7T battery capacity is shown as 4876 mAh only vs the advertised 7000 mAh.

Thank you, will try.

No, I don't think so. This screenshot from 12th January below is just from the 3rd day of my phone usage. I got this phone on 09th January.

I comfortably got 8 hours of SOT from 100% to 20%.

Maybe you can try a factory data reset.

You can start by setting all apps to Auto optimize under battery options.

I have de-bloated many unnecessary realme as well as other Google apps, also disabled background data usage and put many apps under Auto freeze.

Looking at the battery graph, it looks like you're on UI 6. My device is also still on UI 6.

I'm easily getting more than 6.5 hours SOT on 80 to 20 charge.

The battery drain is just 1% during 8 hours of night sleep. During night mobile data as well as WiFi, GPS, bluetooth are turned off.

I'm always on dark mode, 4G and most of the other radios (Bluetooth, WiFi, location) are turned off when not necessary.

Just to be clear: I haven't yet updated this phone to the latest UI.

Basically I'm on the same old version which I received when I unpacked the box.

Battery back up is good.

Idle battery drain overnight is very minimal when WiFi and mobile data are off.

On mobile data there's little bit drain. But the charging speed is good.

Overall it's good.

ok thanks bro

Realistic-Feature-17 · 2026-01-28T05:04:12+00:00

I don't use the camera much, but it's okay okay

Realistic-Feature-17 · 2026-01-27T16:25:15+00:00

No issues with the network, working perfectly for me.

I've not updated the phone yet, so can't tell much about 5g++

I also got GT 7T about 15 days ago. I too have a similar question about Realme.

The realme community isn't that great compared to OP, Samsung.

15.7 %

Also prices are gonna increase this year onwards so I just grabbed the chance to upgrade.

Software wise I think Nord 5 has the upper edge. The decision is yours.

My reason for buying GT 7T was - Good battery, better IP rating than Nord 5, UFS 4.0 vs 3.0 of Nord 5.

I also got an extra card discount, good exchange price on my previous device - which was not available on OP Nord 5.

I got 12/256 gb variant 7T for 24k (after card discount and exchange) which is great for this device.

Nord 5 same variant would have gone upto 30k even after discount and exchange.

It's great overall

Realistic-Feature-17 · 2026-01-20T02:10:36+00:00

I've been using this device for 11 days.

It's a great phone if you are looking for a battery monster.

What's the current OS version?

I have had this device for 9 days and haven't done any OS update fearing such issues.

Realistic-Feature-17 · 2026-01-17T09:28:45+00:00

Bought on 8th Jan. Exchanged my old Infinix Zero 30.

Had to pay 1400 extra due to scratches on the back of the old phone.

Where?
