iPhone 17
The iPhone 17 adopts the new aluminum design language shared across the lineup, giving the base model a more premium look and feel than any previous standard iPhone.
Realme GT 7 Pro
Premium aviation aluminum frame with Gorilla Glass 7i and IP68/IP69 water resistance — a first for Realme. At 223g and 8.55mm thick, it's reasonable for the battery size. However, the phone is extremely slippery and practically demands a case.

iPhone 17
ProMotion 120Hz finally arrives on the standard iPhone, making the 6.1-inch OLED display significantly smoother than previous base models.
Realme GT 7 Pro
The 6.78-inch Samsung Eco2 LTPO OLED is the phone's crown jewel, with up to 6,500 nits peak brightness making it one of the brightest smartphone displays ever made. GSMArena measured 2,336 nits in real testing — surpassing the company's own claims. Excellent color calibration, Dolby Vision support, and 120Hz refresh rate complete the package.
iPhone 17
The 48MP main + 12MP ultrawide dual camera delivers impressive results with improved computational photography, though the lack of telephoto remains the biggest gap versus Pro.
Realme GT 7 Pro
The 50MP main camera produces great daylight photos with excellent detail, and the 3x periscope telephoto delivers solid results with good dynamic range. However, the 8MP ultrawide is embarrassingly weak for a phone at this price — better suited to budget devices. The main sensor was also downgraded from the GT5 Pro.
iPhone 17
The A19 chip handles daily tasks, gaming, and Apple Intelligence features with ease, providing a consistently smooth experience.
Realme GT 7 Pro
One of the first phones with the Snapdragon 8 Elite, scoring 2.62-2.78 million on AnTuTu — roughly 24% better than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Real-world performance is smooth and multitasking is excellent with best-in-class RAM management. However, the phone gets uncomfortably hot under sustained load, and there's evidence of benchmark manipulation.
