As announced, Realme has launched a bunch of products in a virtual launch event in India. The company has announced its first-ever flagship phone – Realme GT 2 Pro, a new 4G variant of Realme 9 and a Realme Buds Air 3 TWS. The company also updated its laptop lineup by launching Realme Book Prime and an affordable streaming stick.
Talking about the Realme GT 2 Pro, the phone was launched in China back in January before being made available in the international markets during the recently concluded MWC.
Realme has once again collaborated with the industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa to design the phone and this time the company has created the industry’s first “bio-based polymer device.”
As expected, the GT 2 Pro comes equipped with top-of-the-line specifications and features like a 2K display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, a 5,000mAh battery with 65W charging and an impressive triple camera setup at the back.
As for the Realme GT 2 Pro pricing in India, the phone is available in a couple of storage variants and the base variant with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage is priced at Rs. 49,999. The top-end variant with 12GB of RAM and 256 GB of onboard storage has been priced at Rs. 57,999.
The phone comes in three colour options – Paper White, Paper Green and Steel Black. It will start retailing on April 14 and will be available to purchase on Flipkart and Realme’s official website.
As an introductory offer, the company is offering an instant discount of Rs 5,000 for SBI and HDFC Cardholders. Realme is also bundling the Realme Watch S along with the Realme GT 2 Pro.
Realme GT 2 Pro specifications and features
The Realme GT 2 Pro uses a 6.7-inch AMOLED display that sports 1440x3216 pixels resolution with 120Hz refresh rate, up to 1000 Hz touch-response rate and a peak brightness of 1400 nits.
Realme has used the LTPO (low-temperature polycrystalline oxide) 2.0 panel on this phone which can vary the refresh rate from 1 Hz to 120 Hz depending on the content being consumed. This is a 10-bit colour display and comes with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus on top for protection.
Under the hood, the GT 2 Pro has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC coupled with up to 12GB of RAM and 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The phone supports RAM expansion using the virtual RAM technology that lets you use the phone’s storage as RAM whenever required.
The company claims that the phone comes with an improved 9-layer cooling structure to ensure sustained performance without any overheating.
In terms of optics, the phone has a triple camera setup at the back. The primary sensor on this phone is a 50MP snapper that comes with OIS, a 50MP snapper with a 150-degree ultra-wide-angle lens and a 3MP lens with a microscopic zoom feature. On the front, the phone has a 32 MP camera for selfies and video calls.
Powering the phone is a 5000 mAh battery pack that supports 65W fast charging and the company is bundling the charger in the box. Sadly, the GT 2 Pro doesn’t support wireless charging. Other key features include stereo speakers, NFC, GPS, and more.
