Realme 2 Review
HIGHLIGHTS
The Realme 2 is priced starting at Rs. 8,990 in India
The diamond-cut effect on the back looks distinctive
Battery life is excellent but the cameras are average
Oppo launched the Realme sub-brand back in May 2018 in order to take on Xiaomi’s might in the budget smartphone market. Since then, Realme has been spun off into an independent company, which has now launched a new model called the Realme 2. Price in India for the Realme 2 — which features a notched 19:9 display, a dual camera setup at the rear, and a fibreglass body — starts at just Rs. 8,990.
Realme 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.
There is a notched display up front. The borders around it, while not insignificant, are slimmer than those of the competition. The frame is made of plastic but this phone feels quite solid in the hand.
The back panel houses a dual camera setup that barely protrudes from the chassis, an oval fingerprint sensor, and the Realme branding. Like we mentioned earlier, Realme recently broke away from Oppo to become an independent brand. As a result, the Oppo logo, which is found on the Realme 1, is missing from the Realme 2.
The Realme 1 lacks a fingerprint sensor and relies on facial recognition for security. In response to user feedback, Realme has added a fingerprint sensor to the Realme 2. Sadly, it’s a bit of a letdown. It is slow and failed to register our fingerprint on the first try multiple times. Face recognition is supported and works quite well for the most part, but struggles in unfavourable light.
The left of the Realme 2 has a volume rocker and the SIM tray, which has separate slots for two Nano-SIMs and a microSD card. The power button is on the right. The buttons are quite small and hard to press. There’s a single loudspeaker next to the Micro-USB port at the bottom, but it’s tinny and shrill.
When it goes on sale on September 4, the Realme 2 will be available in two colour options – Diamond Red and Diamond Black, which is the shade our review unit came in. A third colour option, Diamond Blue, will become available in October.

Realme 2 specifications and display
The Realme 2 is powered by the octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 SoC, which is also found in the likes of the Xiaomi Redmi 5 (Review) and Honor 7C (Review). It’s available in two variants – one with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage priced at Rs. 8,990, and the one we reviewed, with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage priced at Rs. 10,990. You can expand storage using a microSD card of up to 256GB. One of the biggest USPs of the Realme 2 is its sizeable 4,230mAh battery, which Realme claims is good for 15 hours of video playback, 18 hours of music, or 10 hours of gaming. We’ll see if the smartphone lives up to these claims.
The Realme 2 runs ColorOS 5.1 on top of Android 8.1 Oreo. Connectivity options include dual 4G VoLTE, single-band 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS/ A-GPS, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The phone supports dual SIMs (Nano) and both can latch onto 4G networks simultaneously.

The Realme 2 has a 6.2-inch HD+ IPS display with an aspect ratio of 19:9, a maximum brightness of 360nits, and Corning Gorilla Glass 3 for protection against scratches. Colours are vibrant enough for the price, but the panel is dim and and very reflective. The maximum brightness is lacking, which greatly impacts outdoor legibility. The HD+ resolution is lacklustre but this can be somewhat forgiven at this price point.
