The Realme 2 Pro was released after just a single month after the launch of the Realme 2 in October 2018 for a price of Rupees 14990 for the 4GB variant and Rupees 16990 for the 6GB variant. It is quiet competitively priced with all the features and specifications that it offers.
The display on the device is a 6.3 IPS LCD Capacitive, Multi-touch display with a ‘droplet’ notch design on the top that houses the 16MP front camera. The corning gorilla glass 3 provides the support to the screen and helps you to protect the device against accidental device drops. The design of the Realme 2 Pro is aesthetically pleasing with its no nonsense design with its glass back, but it is a magnet for smudges, fingerprints and scratches.
The Realme 2 Pro runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset with an Octa-core processor and an Adreno 512 graphics chipset. The phone runs on the Android v8.1 Oreo and the company has planned upgrades for Android v9.0 Pie in the works. It has the Color OS v5.2 as the skin on top of the Android OS.
The device runs smoothly with is 4GB RAM and there were very little lag as it works seamlessly with the Snapdragon 660. Heavy apps and games like PUBG run smoothly with very little frame drops. The fingerprint sensor and the face unlock just works and there are no mis-reads. It still has the 3.5 mm jack and has the option of fast charging.
The cameras on the device are 16MP each with an additional 2MP camera at the back. The cameras capture decent pictures and the color reproduction is good and the zoom works well. The low light performance is average and the images show some loss of detail and color in the night. Otherwise the pictures are good to post on social media.
The Realme 2 Pro is available in three color variants of Black Sea, Ice Lake and Blue Ocean.
