Realme launches Realme 7 5G, Watch S and Buds Air Pro – plus up to £120 off on Black Friday
Realme has this morning launched more products, including the MediaTek powered Realme 7 5G, the Realme Watch S and Realme Buds Air Pro.
In addition, there are a bunch of amazing deals for Black Friday, which are all detailed below.
First up is the new Realme 7 5G, a step-up from the Realme 7 I recently reviewed, and now priced equally (SRP wise) as the Realme 7 Pro.
Whereas the 7 Pro offers an AMOLED display and a higher megapixel primary camera, the 7 5G offers high-speed data connectivity, a higher refresh rate display, and larger capacity battery.
The Dimensity 800U chipset inside the Realme 7 5G is one of the first to support dual 5G, as well as all the important bands to ensure a great service on both 4G and 5G when using UK networks.
You can read my full Realme 7 5G review already, so there’s little need to talk much more about it other than to say that as part of Realme’s Black Friday deals, the phone can be purchased at a discounted price of just £229 (that’s £50 off its normal price!).
The Realme Watch S is also released, at a price of £74.99 and the Realme Buds Air Pro earbuds will set you back £79.99.
