The use of ‘Pro’ in Realme 2 Pro smartphone is a point towards the powerful hardware of this smartphone. Through this phone, the company wants to woo students and youth. The handset looks very strong on paper. How is its performance in real world? Let’s know ….
Realme 2 Pro Design
Realme 2 Pro gives a feeling of growing in hands. We had difficulty in using this phone with one hand, but it is not too heavy. The thickness of 8.5 millimeters will be considered wide, but the grip is good due to curved polycarbonate edges. There are many layers of lamination on the back of the phone, which gives a feeling of its glass panel. In Reality’s tongue, “Crystal -like Dudrop” effect. The fingers of the fingers are easily fallen on it.
The phone comes with a 6.3-inch full-HD+ display Gorilla Glass 3 protection. Bezel is very slim all around. On touching the hands, the edges are slightly rough, especially with the pre -given screen protector. The ‘Dudrop’ Nokia design is gradually coming into trend. It consumes very little space and also looks good. Despite having less space, it has space for front camera. There is no notification LED. The earpiece is just above the front camera. The sensors are on the right side.
Power and volume buttons are on different edges of the phone. The fingers do not have difficulty in reaching them. The SIM tray has separate slots for two nano SIMs and microSD cards (up to 256 GB). The phone supports dual 4G VoLTE. But due to the Vietnamese unit for the review, it could not be tested. Dual 4G worked on using two Airtel SIMs. But there was no togle for VoLTE. Reality says that the retail unit will support dual 4G VoLTE.
The lower back has a speaker grill, micro-USB port and 3.5mm headphone socket. In landscape mode, the chances of blocking the speaker are increased when the phone is caught. You can avoid it by flipping the phone on the other side. The fingerprint sensor is on the back. It works fast. The rear dual camera module was embossed out of the surface. But during the use, there was no scratch marks on its glass. The retail box will feature 10 watt charger, micro-USB cable, SIM Ejector Tool, Silicon Cover and Instructions book.
Realme 2 Pro Specification and Software
The specifications of Realme 2 Pro are very strong. All variants have used Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor which is a powerful octa-core chipset. This chipset in the price range of less than Rs 20,000 Xiaomi mi a2 ,Review) And Vivo v9 pro Get in The benchmark score also makes its strong specifications reasonable.
The phone based on RAM and storage has three variants- 64 GB storage with 4 GB RAM, 64 GB storage with 6 GB RAM and 128 GB storage with 8 GB RAM. It does not have FM radio or NFC support. The top variant of Realme 2 Pro is the first phone to come with 8 GB RAM in this price range. Other specifications include Bluetooth 5, dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 AC, USB-OTG, gyroscope, ambient light sensor, proximity sensor, compass and accelerometer. It does not have FM radio or NFC support.
Realme 2 Pro runs on Android 8.1 Oreo -based ColorOS 5.2. The security patch of September was also present in the phone. The latest version of ColorOS also has a two step process to dismiss notifications. Apart from this, OS is quite polished and the user gets many customization options with gestures. Our review unit was the Vietnamese model. Many Vietnamese apps were already installed in it. These apps will not remain in the retail unit sold in India, but nothing can be said about whether any other apps will be in advance.
Apart from fingerprint sensor, the phone also has face unlock. It recognizes you quickly. The eyes work only when the eyes are open, that is, it is very secure. The screen light up to help in low light. If you want, you can also use face recognition to lock apps and private space. This will unlock the phone.
Realme 2 Pro Performance, Camera and Battery Life
We used Reality 2 Pro for several days. Honestly, we have no complaint. The UI is usually smooth, except for some shortcomings of ColorOS. We never realized slow down while loading a game with multitasking or powerful graphics. The phone is not too hot too. The area around the fingerprint sensor is slightly hot, that too after playing games or using camera for a long time. Call quality is good and call recording in the dialer app is also built in.
The Realme 2 Pro has a 16 -megapixel primary camera on the rear, which is F/1.7 aperture. It captures photos with details in the delite. We saw a good dynamic range in the landscape shot. Small objects also came with a lot of details and accurate colors. Wide aperture brings good bokeh effect to close up shot. We had difficulty in getting a clear shot of the moving object, but in addition to the autofocus was working fast.

Secondary 2 megapixel sensor does not do any work in image captains process. Its job is to assess depth. Photos are good in portrait mode. Edge detection is clear. The sharpness of the object is also clear in Artificial Lightning. You have many lightening modes to choose from which gives good effects. Photos in low light are a little granney. Details also decrease, especially in landscape shot. Closeup shot is low in sharpness. But overall photos are used to be used.
1080 pixels videos come of good quality. Electronic image is stabilization that works well. There is also support for 4K recording. The quality is very average and no stabilization is present. Videos shot in low light come granny.
Realme has also given a 16 -megapixel front camera. It comes with Bokeh Effect, HDR and screen flash. Image quality comes well. Details could have been a bit better. The screen flash is very effective. But it messes up the tone of your skin. There is also a stickers shooting mode with the help of which you will be able to put different AR stickers on the face of others or others.
The 3500 mAh battery easily supported the whole day. In our video loop test, it lasted for 10 hours 22 minutes which is slightly better than the average. The phone does not support fast charging. But the charger given with the phone charged the battery 64 percent in an hour. It took it about 2 hours 20 minutes to get a full charge from zero.
Our decision
Realme 2 Pro meets the claim of being a powerful phone. We feel that it will entice many people, especially its price. The phone’s 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage variant is Rs 18,990. If seen, it shows more appeal from Mi A2 or Vivo V9 Pro. Both these phones come with Snapdragon 660 processor. The initial variant of the phone is Rs 13,990. it Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ,Review, Nokia 6.1 Plus, Motorola One Power, Asus zenfone max pro m1 6 GB RAM variant and Realme 1 ,Review) The 6 GB RAM will challenge the variant.
Sharp and Vivid displays, good build quality, solid app and gaming performance, go in favor of Realme 2 Pro. Low-light photography and video performance can be better. We wish that Reality (and Oppo) get rid of the process of disturbing the notifications.
By the way, if you are looking for an all -round phone in the price segment of Rs 20,000, then this is a great option.
