Realme GT 7 Pro Camera, Photo and Video Quality

Realme GT 7 Pro camera is okay but not the best. It doesn’t have a strong zoom or underwater features like some other phones. Camera setup is:

Main camera: 50MP, good for photos.
Zoom camera: 50MP, okay for zooming.
Ultrawide camera: 8MP, good for wide shots.
Front camera: 16MP, not as good as older model’s 32MP.

It can go underwater with IP68/IP69 rating and has an underwater mode.

Daylight Photo Quality

In good light, photos look clear and colorful. Main camera is good for portraits. Zoom camera is okay for zooming.

50MP mode doesn’t make much difference and zooming to 2x or 3x is fine but not perfect.

Zoom Camera (3x)

3x zoom works well for details and colors especially for portraits. Zooming to 6x still gives okay results.

Ultrawide Camera

Ultrawide camera (8MP) is fine for wide shots. It has good colors but sometimes sky looks weird.

Conclusion
