Following in Xiaomi’s footsteps, its Chinese counterpart Realme has managed to carve a space for itself in India’s competitive smartphone market. The company already holds a 14% market share (in Q3 2019) in the budget segment. And now, it’s stepping foot into the budget flagship segment with the Realme X2 Pro.
Realme has stuck to plastic designs until the Realme 5 series, but that changed with the launch of its first 64MP quad-camera phone – the Realme XT. Realme X2 Pro features a glass sandwich design with Gorilla Glass 5 protection both on the front and back. Also, I should tell you that Realme X2 Pro is a rebranded Reno Ace, Oppo’s latest flagship, with some minor changes onboard.
I bet you already know who’s running the show under the hood. Yeah, it’s the flagship Snapdragon 855 Plus chipset, paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.0 storage. Realme X2 Pro also includes VC liquid cooling, stereo speakers with support for Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res Audio, and Android 9 Pie-based ColorOS 6.1 in tow.
Price and Availability
The Realme X2 Pro is priced starting at Rs. 29,999 for the 8GB+128GB base variant whereas the higher-end 12GB+256GB variant will retail at Rs. 33,999 in India. It becomes available to select users via a special early access sale. It’s an invite-only process and will be sold via Flipkart and Realme’s online store on November 26.
