Realme 2 has been launched in India on Tuesday, at an event in New Delhi. To recall, Realme was launched earlier this year as an Oppo sub-brand, and it recently separated to form an independent brand in the Indian market. Successor to the Realme 1, the Realme 2 comes with features such as face unlock, a 4,230mAh battery, dual 4G VoLTE support, and up to 4GB of RAM. However, it does not feel like a true successor to the Realme 1 considering RAM capacity is capped at 4GB compared to 6GB, and the fact that it is powered by a Snapdragon 450 SoC. But it does sport a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, which was missing on its predecessor. Let's get into the Realme 2 price in India and availability details as well as the specifications of the smartphone. At the event, the company said it has another surprise for customers in September, with the slide on the stage behind clearly tipping it would be the Realme 2 Pro.

Realme 2 price in India

The Realme 2 price in India is set at Rs. 8,990 for the 3GB RAM/ 32GB inbuilt storage variant and Rs. 10,990 for the 4GB RAM/ 64GB storage model. The phone will go on sale in India starting via Flipkart on September 4. It will be sold in Diamond Black and Diamond Red colour options while the Diamond Blue option will go on sale in early October. At this price point, Realme 2 takes on the likes of the Redmi Note 5.
