The new device carries the 'Pro' moniker and brings some noticeable improvements over the Realme 2. The company is banking on the Realme 2 Pro's faster functioning, better imaging hardware and a more appealing design with the teardrop notch to fill the potholes left by the Realme 2'due south underwhelming functioning.
Today, we have the top-end version of the Realme ii Pro which packs 8GB of RAM coupled with 128GB of internal storage, while an octa-cadre Snapdragon 660 SoC ticks under the hood.

So, is the Realme two Pro worth all the hype? Is the new Realme smartphone a genuine contender which tin dethrone the Redmis out there and go the next mid-range champion? Well, an exhaustive review is the only fashion to find out.
Realme 2 Pro Specifications
Ane of the biggest improvements introduced by the Realme 2 Pro is the faster Snapdragon 660 processor, which is a huge upgrade from the Snapdragon 450 inside the Realme 2 which delivered a sub-par performance. Moreover, an upgraded imaging hardware and college memory configurations nowadays the Realme 2 Pro every bit an alluring mid-range offer.

What's In The Box?
The Realme 2 Pro comes packaged inside a very minimalist box with the signature red and white accents, and the same story of minimalism trickles down to the box contents. The box contents cover just the fundamental accessories, and honestly, we cannot complain about the lack of goodies such as a headphone, especially at such a competitive price point. Let'due south have a look at what comes arranged inside the Realme 2 Pro's retail packaging:
- Realme 2 Pro smartphone
- Transparent protective embrace
- ane USB Cable
- 1 Adapter
- User manual
- SIM ejector tool
- Warranty card
Design and Build Quality
Realme has taken a very different design approach for their new smartphone which is all about understated aesthetics, smooth curves and a solid in-hand feel.
Personally, I like the new design philosophy adopted by the company for the Realme 2 Pro.
The device is made out of a fabric which looks and feels similar glass, save for the rim around the edges which is coated in a matte black colour to lucifer the shade of the rear console, which the company calls Black bounding main. However, the device too comes in Bluish Ocean and Ice Lake color options. The edges are curved ever so subtly and they perfectly merge with the metallic rim without whatever sharp corners whatsoever.
When it comes to in-hand feel, the Realme 2 Pro is a joy to apply.
The top border is arid except for a unmarried microphone hole, while the bottom edge houses the USB Type-A Port, another microphone pigsty and the speaker grill. On the correct side is the power button, which is located at but the perfect height to comfortably reach with the thumb, while the left edge houses the ii book buttons.
All the buttons provide a practiced tactile feedback, and despite being recessed compared to other smartphones, they don't feel mushy at all.
The right edge also houses the SIM+microSD tray which can host 2 nano SIM cards and a microSD bill of fare simultaneously. Thankfully, Realme did not go for the hybrid slot which sacrifices the dual SIM functionality if you want to use a microSD card slot.
In that location is a very assuring heft to the Realme 2 Pro, and I can clinch you that the Realme 2 Pro does non look any less premium than other smartphones in the same price bracket out at that place, and fifty-fifty those which are priced considerably higher.
The glossy rear console has a slight depth effect to it, which looks nice.
Merely in that location is a downside to all that glossy amuse, as the Realme 2 Pro is a fingerprint magnet. And truth be told, if you don't use a protective cover, you'll find yourselves cleaning the rear console multiple times throughout the day. The glossy rear panel is made via the injection molding process which requires 15 layers of sectional lamination and is claimed to be heat and bear upon resistant to a certain extent.
The Realme 2 Pro is a piece of beauty on its ain, but when y'all compare it with the Realme ii'south flashy design with diamond-cut patterns and an overall blocky profile, you lot'll realize that the Realme two Pro is really a much more refined device in terms of build and aesthetics.
The dual rear camera set-upwards is located at the left corner and is surrounded by a pill-shaped metal enclosure, accompanied by an LED flash, while a slightly recessed fingerprint sensor sits below it.
All in all, Realme has washed a really good chore when it comes to the Realme 2 Pro'south blueprint and build quality, and at that cost betoken, in that location is hardly any other smartphone out there which can outdo the Realme two Pro on the fronts of aesthetics.
Display
The Realme 2 Pro packs a6.3-inch FullHD+ (1080×2340) displaywith a nineteen.5:9 aspect ratio and a pixel density of 409 PPI. The side and meridian bezels are virtually non-existent, with only a 5.5 mm thick chin at the bottom with rounded edges, granting the device an impressiveninety.8% screen-to-torso.
Coming to the Realme ii Pro's signature design chemical element, there is a waterdrop-shaped notch at the top, or as the company likes to phone call it, a dewdrop notch. We have already seen this notch design on the Oppo F9 and the F9 Pro, and it looks equally stunning on the Realme ii Pro. The minimalist appeal of the tiny, waterdrop notch is a beauty in itself and looks manner amend than the ugly, wide notch we take come to see on the iPhone XR, iPhone XS and the iPhone XS Max trio, as well equally an increasing number of Android smartphones.
The notch houses the proximity and the ambient sensor as well as the front facing photographic camera, and above it sits the pocket-size earpiece which is about equally broad as the wide notch itself. Realme claims the earpiece employs a new channel sound transmission engineering science which ensures that the size of the audio hardware is small without compromising the sound fidelity.
Every bit for the display itself, it is only gorgeous and quite brilliant when information technology comes to color reproduction, which is why hues announced punchy and saturation is never an consequence.
My only qualm is that the blacks are not as deep as AMOLED panels, just overall, the Realme 2 Pro'due south display won't disappoint you. When information technology comes to sunlight legibility, the Realme 2 Pro'southward display performs significantly better than the panel on similarly priced devices such as the Redmi Note 5 Pro and the Xiaomi Mi A2, both of which pack an LCD panel also.
The peak brightness level of the Realme 2 Pro's LCD panel is sufficient to render all content perfectly under daylight. However, under directly sunlight, there is a noticeable dimming, just not strong enough to render the text on the screen unreadable. Viewing angles are also decent, and there is minimal washing out of colors when you sentinel the content on it from different angles.
But there is ane major outcome that volition surely annoy users in the long run- content optimization. While playing games or watching videos in full-screen style, the notch covers up a small area of the on-screen content and stands out every bit an eyesore. This was particularly noticeable in case of games like PUBG, in which the shooting push was half covered by the notch.
The issue can be resolved by tweaking the full-screen tool in the settings carte, which hides the notch by applying a blackness bar of the same meridian. But and so, it also adjusts the native aspect ratio of the on-screen content, which either leaves a blank infinite at the edges or stretches out the content.
In case of games similar Injustice 2, the aspect ratio adjustment just stretched out the content to fill the whole screen, which is certainly not appealing to look. Similarly, in case of YouTube videos, you either take to live with the blank space around the content in its native resolution, or stretch out the content and let the notch cover a portion of it.
Another consequence is the bottom bezels. Information technology is evident that Realme utilized a rectangular LCD panel which has been covered with a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass on top and a thick chin of lesser bezels with rounded edges. The rounded bezels hide a footling bit of content at the 2 lesser corners of the LCD panel, and information technology does create an issue if you use the full-screen manner with navigation gestures.
For example, in instance of PUBG, the rounded bottom bezel covered a significant portion of the 'x' button used to go back in the game's UI. We hope that Realme resolves this content optimization issue, or else, it would emerge equally a major drawback for a beautiful display which tin easily be regarded as 1 of the all-time in its toll bracket.
User Interface: ColorOS is Simply Meh!
The Realme ii Pro boots ColorOS 5.2 based on Android 8.1 Oreo. Allow me tell this to yous firsthand- the UI is fluid, merely the aesthetics are not every bit clean every bit you lot would expect from stock Android. I won't rule out ColorOS as beingness a terrible Android peel, just it needs a lot of visual and functional refining to catch upward with the likes of stock Android or fifty-fifty other Android skins.
I encountered no problems while using the smartphone, but the pattern of the default icons took some fourth dimension getting used to. Now permit's talk about some of the ColorOS features which I certainly establish bully. First of all, there is a dedicated 'Smart Assistant' characteristic which can exist accessed by swiping right on the dwelling screen.
The Smart Assistant basically acts equally a command center where users can access tools such every bit Quick Functions for quickly launching frequently used apps, check the conditions, track health vitals such every bit steps walked, and do a lot more. The whole department can be customized to a limited extent with widgets, tools and content users want to access in a jiffy.
There is a similar feature called 'Smart Sidebar', which allows users to populate it with certain apps they utilise frequently and always want them at their disposal. The 'Smart Sidebar' tin be accessed past swiping a sparse sidebar at either border of the screen.
Yous can add effectually 12 apps to the 'Smart Sidebar' widget which is divided into iii boxes, with the one at bottom housing the apps. The ane at the center hosts quick tools for taking a screenshot and screen recording, while the one at the top houses the File Access tool and the default photographic camera app.
Another noteworthy feature I discovered in ColorOS was that it offers 4 unlike versions of navigation gestures, which differ in the manner the 'recent' and 'app switch' tools can be accessed. Although it is not a standout feature, information technology is definitely a neat addition, especially for left-handed users. Apart from that, there are a few other smashing features such equally:
- Personal information protection to safeguard the security of sensitive data such as call history, contacts letters, etc.
Talking about security, the device has a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor which is quite fast and easily recognizes the fingerprints in less than a second. The Realme ii Pro likewise has support for Face Unlock functionality, which is surprisingly fast too.
The facial recognition feature is more than reliable when used in a well-lit environment, considering the hallmark feature performs erratically in dim surroundings.
- 'Fake base station blocking' to protect users from getting duped by malicious parties who send fraudulent letters and ads bearded as base of operations stations of genuine mobile operators.
- A 'Kids Space' style which restricts smartphone usage time and admission to certain apps, prohibits app installation/deletion and system modification, restricts cellular usage and also prevents apps from sending letters which facilitate transactions.
- Security features such equally 'Realme Secure Keyboard', 'Verification Code Protection', restricting the power to enable screen recording or taking a screenshot, etc.
These were the features that I found to be particularly useful, and even though a bulk of them can exist found on other custom Android skins too in ane form or the other, their mere presence certainly bodes well for Realme's Android skin.
ColorOS does not offer annihilation extraordinary which can make it stand out from the crowd, but it does a host a majority of tools and features that won't go out users wanting for more.
And then, equally I said before, ColorOS is but meh, only a cleaner interface with a dash of minimalist styling would have been much better.
Operation: The 'Pro' Badge is Justified
Realme might not accept excelled at developing a bully Android peel with ColorOS, merely the company certainly nailed it when it comes to choosing the correct processor for the Realme two Pro in the Snapdragon 660, and then optimizing it for the software.
Right off the bat, the device simply blazes past any task y'all throw at it.
And hey, having 8GB of RAM at your disposal certainly helps, which is why nosotros are a little skeptical whether the Realme 2 Pro's low-finish version with 4GB of RAM will be able to evangelize the aforementioned blazing fast performance.
Apps similar the photographic camera, dialer, WhatsApp and Instagram launched without a hitch, and then was the case with resources-intensive apps like PUBG, Mortal Kombat X, although the latter two took their ain sweetness fourth dimension to load. However, once the apps started, at that place was minimal to no stuttering or lag, except on a few occasions which are too few to mention.
I won't say that the Realme 2 Pro is lightning fast, but yep, you certainly won't observe yourself complaining about a sluggish user experience.
Coming to the performance aspects, here is how the Realme two Pro fared at benchmark tests:
The Realme two Pro scored an impressive133324 points on AnTuTu, which is in line with other smartphones packing the same chipset, and significantly higher than other smartphones in the same toll bracket. On Geekbench 4, the Realme 2 Pro posted5419 points on the charts in multi-core test, while the single cadre points tally stood at 1451 points.
When it comes to the graphics-intensive 3DMark benchmark, Realme 2 Pro'due south points tally stood at 1235 in 3DMark's Sling Shot Extreme – OpenGL ES test and 975 points in the 3DMark'south Sling Shot Farthermost – Vulkan test. For the sake of comparison, here's how the Realme 2 Pro fared against the Xiaomi Mi A2 and the Nokia vi.ane Plus Pro on synthetic benchmarks:
Device | AnTuTu | Geekbench four- Single Core | Geekbench 4- Multi Core | 3D Mark Sling Shot Extreme – OpenGL ES |
---|---|---|---|---|
Realme two Pro | 133324 | 1451 | 5419 | 1235 |
Nokia 6.1 Plus | 115398 | 1336 | 4820 | --- |
Xiaomi Mi A2 (4GB RAM) | 129863 | 1626 | 4565 | 1265 |
But every bit we take repeatedly stressed in the past, synthetic benchmarks are only a flash of a device's functioning and they practice not truly reflect a smartphone's in-hand performance. And so, I tested the device in multiple scenarios which involved heavy multitasking with at least 10-12 apps running in the background, split up-screen multitasking, often switching between apps, videography, and a lot more than. The Realme 2 Pro handled information technology all without a hitch.
In a bid to really push the device to its limits, I tested multiple games on the device ranging from lightweight games such every bit Cut The Rope, Aroused Birds and Doodle Army 2: Mini Militia to graphically-intensive titles such as PUBG, Mortal Kombat X and Injustice two and Cobblestone 9: Legends.
PUBG was set to medium graphics settings at default and ran without a hitch, and even after upping the graphics settings to 'Loftier' and the frame rate to the highest level with realistic graphics style, the battle royale game ran without any stutter or noticeable frame drop at all.
The next game I tried on the Realme 2 Pro was the very resource-intensive Mortal Kombat 10, and simply equally in the case of PUBG, the fighting game worked flawlessly without whatsoever lag or freezing at all, however, I wish that the amount of fourth dimension information technology took to load the game could have been bottom.
In instance of Injustice two, the Realme 2 Pro'south Snapdragon 660 processor proved more capable plenty to run the game without any stutter whatsoever, which is goose egg short of a solid statement because Injustice 2 is one of the most resource-intensive games out at that place. I did discover a few occasional frame drops, but they were as well few to mention and didn't spoil the gameplay in whatever manner.
The final game I tried on the Realme 2 Pro was Asphalt nine: Legends, and despite some initial skepticism whether the device would be able to the graphics of the demanding game, I came to realize that the Realme 2 Pro's chipset is powerful enough to handle the game with ease.
Camera: Expert, Merely Not Outstanding
The Realme 2 Pro packs a 16MP + 2MP dual rear camera set-up, accompanied by a 16MP front sensor. The Realme two Pro's imaging hardware is a significant upgrade over the Realme 2's camera fix-up, only does the higher megapixel count of the Realme ii Pro's sensors provide a noteworthy comeback in the photographic camera performance? Let's discover out.
Daylight Shots
The Realme ii Pro'south camera captures sufficiently detailed images in broad daylight with vibrant colors and adequate depth, notwithstanding, there are 2 sore points that volition keep the images from existence a knockout. Starting time of all, there is a lot of overexposure and unnecessary processing which somewhat washes out the colors, especially if the object in focus has a rich color contour.
Even when the HDR mode is on, in that location is only a minor departure that you lot will detect in the color reproduction. So, if yous are a fan of punchy shades and value colour accurateness, and so the Realme two Pro is certainly not the correct device for you.
Bokeh Shots
When it comes to Bokeh shots, the Realme 2 Pro performed reasonably well and delivered some actually skillful shots with rich details and vibrant hues. However, the same overexposure issue persists here too, with the epitome processing algorithm washing out the colors in a bid to make the images announced brighter and smoother. Depth details are sufficient, just when it comes to object recognition, the device fails frequently.
Edge detection is certainly non the smartphone's forte, because the blurring betwixt the background and foreground is often riddled with inaccuracies, and parts of the subject in focus are often mistakenly blurred.
Take a look at the epitome below and you'll know what I am talking about:
Withal, if you can ignore the slight inaccuracy in the object detection and faulty blurring while taking bokeh shots in broad daylight, the Realme 2 Pro can certainly be trusted with taking some Instagram-worthy photos. There are a few filters too, which tin come in handy if yous want to have artistic photos, simply do proceed in mind that you tin can't control the intensity of the filter you are applying.
When information technology comes to the quality of bokeh shots clicked by the Realme 2 Pro in daylight, it falters on some aspects such as excessive processing, and excels at some parameters such as capturing more than depth.
Every bit you can come across in the images below, the Mi A2 captures amend quality images when it comes to colour accurateness, while the Redmi Notation 5 Pro produces a hazy outcome. The Realme 2 Pro for 1, loses some points for an underwhelming edge detection, but the overall color contour is pleasant enough.
Low Light Shots
What the Realme 2 lacks in daylight photography, information technology more makes upward for information technology in low-low-cal photography. In low-light conditions or environs with dim artificial lighting, the Realme ii Pro's photographic camera actually shines and captures better quality images than the Xiaomi Mi A2 and the Redmi Annotation 5 Pro. Merely take a wait at some of the sample shots clicked in low-light conditions:
There is some racket in the photos clicked at night, but the colors are punchy and the overprocerssing issue is barely noticeable hither.
The Realme ii Pro's imaging prowess is again at full brandish when information technology comes to capturing bokeh shots in indoor conditions. Just take a look at a few comparison shots taken with the Realme 2 Pro, the Mi A2 and the Redmi Note five Pro and you will see how the Realme device outperforms its rivals:
Selfies
The Realme ii Pro can take some decent quality shots with its 16MP front camera, merely the overexposure issue and aggressive image processing once again accept a toll on the quality of pictures clicked past the front camera.
Equally you can see in the images below, the Realme two goes for excessive brightening in case of selfies captured in daylight, and in the process, ends up washing out the true colors, while the Xiaomi Mi A2 preserves the natural colors with a little bit of oversaturation in tow.
The aforementioned extra effulgence event plagues the selfies captured by the Realme two Pro in well-lit indoor weather. Despite sufficient corporeality of ambient lighting, the Realme ii Pro appears to be hellbent on calculation an extra layer of illumination which not just whitens the image, only likewise masks the existent skin color as well as the shades in the environment
Videography
The Realme 2 Pro is capable of recording 4K, FullHD and Hd videos at 30FPS, withal, the ability to record videos at 60FPS would take been an added bonus. The Realme two Pro's imaging hardware features Electrical Paradigm Stabilizationto minimize blurring, which i helpful to a certain extent.
Realme 2 Pro FullHD Video Recording Sample
As you lot can conspicuously notice in the video in a higher place, there is a lot of shaking and instability, coupled with a grainy output and light flickering. Details are barely there and color accurateness is just adequate.
Realme two Pro 4K Video Recording Sample
In example of the 4K video recorded by the Realme 2 Pro, the higher resolution and more detailed visuals are instantly noticeable, and EIS is just not capable enough to make up for the absence of OIS.
So, here is the conclusion. The Realme 2 Pro might non have the best cameras in this price range but it yet has some very skillful cameras and that's when you are taking photos. The Realme 2 Pro is definitely the phone for recording videos.
Bombardment Life: Comfortably Breezes Past A Solar day
The Realme 2 Pro packs a 3,500mAh battery, which is a pregnant downgrade from the 4,230mAh unit inside the Realme two. With that in mind, I had some major doubts regarding the bombardment backup of the Realme ii Pro, given the fact that the now smaller battery has to power a larger, higher resolution display and a beefier processor.
The Realme 2 Pro's iii,500mAh battery provided a full day's worth of usage, which is certainly something non every smartphone tin can avowal of.
When it comes to charging, the Realme 2 Pro'due south 5V/2A rated charger juiced up the device in just around 2 hours, which is not also shabby at all, and suggests that fast charging is at play here. The Realme 2 Pro reached 33% battery status in but around thirty minutes, while the lx% effigy was attained in 55 minutes.
The internet corporeality of time it took the device to go from 0-100% was 2 hours and 11 minutes while sitting idle. But do keep in mind that charging times might vary if you lot use the smartphone while it is connected to the power source.
In my fourth dimension using the Realme two Pro as my daily driver, I recorded an boilerplate bombardment life of around 9 hours and 45 minutes, with my usage blueprint involving continuous cyberspace connectivity, streaming a few Full HD videos on YouTube, clicking images, recording videos and multiple gaming sessions.
I had some initial doubts regarding the 3,500mAh unit inside the Realme ii Pro, but I was more than content with its performance.
The device also comes with a battery direction tool which is powered by an AI that intelligently directs power to arrangement resource in order to optimize battery usage without affecting the net operation. There is also a Ability Saving manner which selectively turns out background apps to shut-down the machine-sync functionality, optimizes the brightness output and turns off the vibration response on impact input to reduce the battery juice.
Audio
There is one notable aspect which works in the Realme 2 Pro's favor, and that'southward audio: the device can get pretty loud. You lot can choose between 16 volume output levels, but I didn't experience the need to heighten the book levels across the 50-60% mark because the audio output was sufficiently loud while sitting with friends in a room.
Every bit for the sound quality, well, the Realme ii Pro'south speakers deliver a treble-heavy sound with minimal bass. So, if y'all aim to play bass-heavy songs with the book cranked up to the max level, you are in for some disappointment. Also, the device has an unwelcome trend of suppressing the vocal and instrumental clarity when the volume is to a higher place the 60% mark.
I compared the Realme two Pro's audio output with that of the recently launched Laurels 8X and found that information technology wins on loudness, but lags behind the Accolade device when it comes to depth, range and clarity. As for telephony, the audio quality during calls was clear and won't get out you wanting for more.
Connectivity
The Realme 2 Pro is a dual SIM device which supports dual 4G VoLTE connectivity standard and has support for WLAN 5G, which means the device can hook to the conventional ii.4GHz band as well every bit the faster and congestion-gratis 5GHz network. As for cellular connectivity, the Realme two Pro has back up for WCDMA, GSM, TD-LTE and FDD-LTE standards, nevertheless, it misses out on NFC. In that location is also support for Bluetooth 5.0 onboard, which means data transfer rate would be considerably faster.
All the same, nosotros encountered two major issues with the Realme 2 Pro's connectivity profile.
Beginning, despite claiming to back up dual VoLTE, we didn't discover a setting for it on the device, and neither does the VoLTE sign testify on the summit of the brandish. Second, the Realme 2 Pro does not work when a Reliance Jio SIM is used. The device successfully connects to a Reliance Jio signal, but automatically disconnects the outgoing calls and returns an 'out of reach or switched off' tone in case of incoming calls. What's fifty-fifty more surprising is the fact that internet connectivity worked perfectly fine as we were able to scan the web without any hitch any. It appears that the Realme two Pro does not back up Reliance Jio'south VoLTE service. At present, I am not sure if this is an issue with only our unit or with every Realme two pro just hopefully, Realme will button an update to fix things.
Some other issue, which might prove to be a major carmine flag for buyers is the fact that the Realme 2 Pro doesn't have the 'Widevine L1' license for Digital Rights Management (DRM), which means users tin can't play Hd videos on apps like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu.
Pros:
- An eye-catching design
- Bully display
- Smooth performance
- Decent battery functioning
- Decent cameras for the price
Cons:
- Poor video quality
- Brandish-app optimization issues
- Unrefined OS
- Jio issues
Realme 2 Pro: Should Y'all Buy It?
The Realme 2 Pro is certainly the best device offered past Realme till engagement, cheers to an eye-catching display, nice build quality, a lag-complimentary operation, decent cameras and skillful battery operation. However, the Realme 2 Pro's promise is undone past ColorOS, which even after all these years remains unrefined and the fact that the video quality from the Realme two cameras are downright bad. Anyhow, so how does the Realme 2 compare confronting the competition?
The 4GB variant of the Realme 2 Pro, priced at Rs. 13,990, competes against the Redmi Note 5 Pro (starts at Rs. fourteen,999) and the ZenFone Max Pro (Rs. 14,999) and while the Realme 2 Pro brings a nicer design (a glass similar dorsum and tear drop notch), great cameras and better performance (Snapdragon 660), the Note 5 Pro and ZenFone Max Pro bring larger batteries and MIUI and stock Android, respectively, which are better than ColorOS.
The 6GB variant of the phone, priced at Rs. 15,990, goes against the Mi A2 (Rs. 16,999) and the Nokia 6.1 plus (Rs. 15,999). While the Realme 2 Pro brings a better design, a amend display, a larger bombardment and the same Snapdragon 660 that the Mi A2 packs, the Mi A2 has ameliorate cameras and stock Android, so if that'southward a priority for you, you lot tin can choose the Mi A2. When compared to the 6.i plus, the Realme 2 Pro is plain the superior telephone of the two, however, the Nokia 6.one plus has stock Android on-board, which a lot of people prefer.
Just if you lot're eyeing the top-end model of the Realme 2 Pro (8GB + 128GB) which is priced at Rs. 17,999, then at that place are some actually compelling alternatives out there which you should definitely take a look at. If performance is your sole criteria, so the Honor Play (Rs. 19,999) with its flagship Kirin 970 SoC is the best option, although y'all'll have to spend Rs. 2,000 more than.
Overall, if you lot ask me, Realme 2 Pro has a lot of things going in its favor and if you are okay with ColorOS and yous are not someone who records a lot of videos, you can go for the Realme 2 Pro for a stylish smartphone that offers great functioning and packs in decent cameras for photography. Sure, at that place is the VoLTE issue but hopefully, Realme will fix things shortly.
Purchase the Realme 2 Pro from Flipkart: (starts at Rs. 13,990)
