The verdict, up front

The number-series budget that defined the line.

realme 7 was the budget that sold the realme number-series formula — 90 Hz, Helio G95, 30 W charging, the legacy ports — for $209. The 4G ceiling and filler lenses were exactly the price; it set the template every realme 8/9/10/11 followed.
