Design & Display
Realme 2: At a glance
According to official teasers, Realme 2 will feature the same notch-based 6.0-inch full-HD+ display seen on its predecessor. On the back, the Realme 2 will retain the diamond-cut design but will now sport a dual rear-camera setup as against the single camera on Realme 1. Notably, it will also come with a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor - a feature missing on Realme 1.
Camera
For the shutterbugs and selfie lovers
In terms of optics, the Realme 2 will sport a dual rear camera setup comprising a 13-megapixel primary sensor and a 2-megapixel secondary sensor, along with an LED flash. In comparison, the Realme 1 features a single 13-megapixel primary camera with LED flash. Up front, the Realme 2 may borrow the 8MP selfie snapper as seen on its predecessor.
Internals
Under the hood
In terms of other specs, not much is known as of now. That said, the Realme 2 is likely to retain the MediaTek Helio P60 processor that powered its predecessor and will pack a bigger 4,230mAh battery as against the 3,400mAh battery on Realme 1. Further, we expect up to 6GB RAM and up to 128GB internal storage in this model.
Pricing
Realme 2 may start at around Rs. 10,000
The Realme 1 costs Rs. 8,990 for the 3GB RAM/32GB storage variant, Rs. 10,990 for the 4GB RAM/64GB option and Rs. 13,990 for the 6GB RAM/128GB variant. Thus, keeping in mind the upgrades such as dual rear-cameras and bigger battery, we expect the Realme 2 to come at a starting price of around Rs. 10,000.
