Cameras: New Sensor is an upgrade?
Both the 7 and 7 Pro come with the same camera setup this time. The quad rear camera setup comes with a 64MP Sony IMX682 primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, a 2MP portrait lens, and a 2MP macro lens.
Talking about the front camera setup, the Realme 7 sports a 16MP selfie camera while the 7 Pro packs a 32MP selfie camera inside the punch hole.
Changes: Realme 7 had the same camera setup as Realme 6, except for the Samsung GW1 sensor has now replaced by the new Sony IMX 682 sensor. However, in 7 Pro you somehow get a downgrade as the 6 Pro has a 12MP telephoto lens for up to 20x zoom and a dual selfie camera.

Wrapping Up
With the Realme 6 series, Realme surely started a revolution in the mid-range segment by offering more refresh rate display and may other good specs. However, an upgrade of the series within six months and that too with very minimal changes doesn’t make any sense.
