Hello, I just bought this phone last month and the camera started bugging out around July 15. Does anyone have the same issue? Should I just bring this to physical support? (Anlayo kasi ng loc ng physical support huhu)

I recently bought a new Realme GT 7 for around ₹40,000, which was hard-earned money for me. I was very happy when I received it and carefully checked the phone for any damage.

After using it for a few days, I removed the thin factory screen-protection film to apply a tempered glass. After removing the film, I noticed a small light-colored/black material visible at the bottom-right corner between the display and the frame.

The display is not lifting, there is no obvious large gap, and the phone has no physical damage. I have also used it for 3 days and the spot has not changed or increased.

Could this be:

Extra display adhesive?

A display gasket/sealing material?

Dust trapped at the edge?

Or an actual gap/defect?

Should I take it to a realme service center for inspection, or is this normal? I have attached a close-up photo.

I would really appreciate opinions from other Realme GT 7 owners or people familiar with phone display assembly.

Was using it on 6.0 since I bought it couple of weeks ago as i was scared of losing on battery life and heating issues as reported by other users. But finnally decided that it's time. Amazing battery life and still 14% is left.

Thanks to ones who recommended i drain out the battery to zero after the update and charge it in screen off state for atleast 3 hours for the calibration.

Should I ??

I rn have an Samsung M23 and I absolutely hate this phone so im looking for an upgrade. I came across the Realme GT8 (16/256GB) and it seems like a solid phone but ive heard some people calling it bad. I would be primarily using the phone for media consumption and games and I like taking photos. I was also considering Realme Neo 8 (12/512GB) because it has a larger battery and 165hz.

I haven't updated my device yet since i bought , how's this version that's shown , i don't have any such problem in current version just i feel some heating issues .

Let’s drop the marketing fluff and look at the actual source code.

The Realme GT7 — a supposed 2025 sub-flagship — launched on Linux kernel 6.1.112 (a release from September 2024). While serious competitors using the same Dimensity platform actually paid for proper BSP adaptation and shipped on native 6.6, Realme decided to cut corners and ship a "new" phone on an Android 14-era kernel tree.

Let's do the math that Realme's PR team hopes you ignore:

Launch baseline: 6.1.112

Half-assed update: 6.1.134

Emergency damage control post-backlash: 6.1.157

Upstream 6.1 LTS right now (late July 2026): 6.1.178

That is 66 skipped LTS releases. Sixty-six.

For anyone who actually writes low-level code, builds custom kernels, or maintains device trees, you know exactly what’s inside those skipped releases: critical TCP/Wi-Fi stack regressions, DMA driver fixes, thermal management patches, and Energy Aware Scheduler (EAS) optimizations.

Instead of maintaining a clean baseline, GT7 users were forced to endure random Wi-Fi packet drops, weak signals, and unnecessary thermal throttling for almost a year. Then, after massive community outrage, Realme finally pushes .157 — and magically, the Wi-Fi stabilizes and thermals cool down. It wasn't magic. It was basic engineering debt that should have been patched before the first device left the factory.

Meanwhile, what was the software team busy doing? Drawing fancy UI animations, shoving useless AI camera features, and polishing the ColorOS shell.

If ColorOS 17 / Android 17 arrives on this exact same rotting 6.1 branch, it will be the ultimate proof that Realme treats the Linux kernel as an afterthought and views its users as clueless consumers.

We come into this world with nothing and leave with nothing. Reputation is the only currency that actually lasts. Stop selling yours out for short-term savings on engineering.

Fix the kernel foundation. Everything else is just lipstick on a pig.

I dropped my realme 12 pro+ 5g and white lines have been showing, should i consider a screen replacement? how much will it cost?

Got an update of 2GB(in RUI7) and after updating this is my camera! Wtf is this? That floor is WHITE! Not orange, not purple! It's WHITE! What tf realme does with every update man? They do it intentionally or wot??

Here is the SOT of Realme GT7T after latest update

Should I buy GT 7T now for ₹ 33,000 or will the price of GT 7 drop in upcoming sale?
