The launch event is scheduled for April 7 and will be a digital launch event that will be streaming at 12:30 PM on the launch date.
Earlier, a Twitter post hinted at April 9 being the launch date, however, the post was pulled down. And now the company has shared the official invites for the launch of its first-ever flagship phone.
Talking about the specifications, the Realme GT 2 Pro comes with flagship-grade specifications which include a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, a 6.7-inch LTPO2 AMOLED display with 2K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate and a 1000 Hz touch sampling rate.
It comes with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage. The battery of the phone is 5000mAh, which supports 65W fast charging. The phone has a triple rear camera setup which includes a 50MP primary Sony IMX766 sensor, a 50 MP ultra-wide lens supporting a 150-degree field-of-view. The third sensor on the phone is a 3MP shooter for macro shots and comes with a 40x macro lens. A 32 MP selfie camera is present on the front for selfies and video calling. Powering the phone is a 5000 mAh battery which is coupled with 65W fast charging.
The Realme GT 2, on the other hand, comes with a Snapdragon 888 SoC coupled with up to 12GB of RAM and 256 GB of onboard storage. It comes with a triple camera setup at the back with a 50MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide snapper coupled with a 2MP macro shooter. There is a 16MP selfie camera on the front.
One of the many powerful phones in the Indian market
Apart from Realme’s GT 2 Pro, various other flagship phones powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC are slated to launch in India soon. OnePlus is expected to announce the availability of the OnePlus 10 Pro while Xiaomi is expected to come up with its Xiaomi 12 lineup soon.
These phones will be pitted against the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S22 lineup, iQoo 9 Pro and the Moto G30 Pro which are already retailing in the country.
However, Realme has been growing at a rapid pace in the recent past, hence, the GT 2 Pro is extremely important for the company as it is the first-ever true flagship phone. It is expected that the phone could be priced around Rs. 50,000 in India – which will make it Realme’s most expensive phone in a price-sensitive market like India.
