Realme 2 was launched in India on Tuesday, at an event in New Delhi. To recall, Realme was launched earlier this year as an Oppo sub-brand, and it recently separated to form an independent brand in the Indian market. The Realme 2 does not feel like a true successor to the Realme 1 considering RAM capacity is capped at 4GB compared to 6GB, and the fact that it is powered by a Snapdragon 450 SoC. However, it does sport a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, which was missing on its predecessor. Let’s get into the pricing and availability details as well as the specifications of the smartphone.
