Realme 2 claims that the Realme 2 is not a successor to the Realme 1 (Review), but a separate product designed to coexist with it. According to the company, while the Realme 1 focuses on design and performance, this new smartphone aims to be a budget-friendly all-rounder. However, the base model of the Realme 1 is no longer available, which means that the Realme 2 has actually taken its place in the sub-Rs. 10,000 segment. Can the Realme 2 compete with the likes of the Xiaomi Redmi 5 (Review) and Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 (Review)? Let’s find out.
Realme 2 design
Just like the Realme 1, the Realme 2 has a fibreglass body with a glossy diamond-cut effect on the back. There are 15 tangent planes carved onto the back panel which reflect light in different ways. Realme has refined the design, and the look is more subdued this time around. Sadly, the fibreglass back picks up scratches and fingerprints easily and makes the phone rather slippery.
