Both Realme and Qualcomm have tweeted to confirm that the Realme 2 will feature a Snapdragon processor.
However, none of them gave any details about the chipset.
Now, considering the Realme 1 comes with a MediaTek Helio P60 processor and that the Realme 2 is "a notch above" its predecessor, we can expect the latest Snapdragon 660 processor on the upcoming smartphone.
