All of us have gone through those ‘ boy/ girl meets world’ days where we move on from being kids to young adults. One fine day, we could drive cars, watch adult movies and enter discothequ­es. Like some preacher said, with great power comes great responsibi­lity, and most of us survived the big, bold journey into adulthood. In the smartphone arena, Realme is that young adult that is making a journey to become the brand of choice for millennial users.

The recently- launched Realme 2 Pro is all about making a statement — a large ( 6.3 inch) handset with a Full HD 1080x2340 pixel screen; 16 MP cameras on both sides with the front camera working in tandem with a second 2 MP lens, for depth- sensing. The cameras also come with for five light settings, to light up your selfies at will. Under the hood of the Realme 2 Pro is the Snapdragon 660 chip that is mostly found in much pricier models. The device also comes with audio enhancemen­ts, a tiny teardrop notch, making the device looking ‘ fuller’ and optimising it for full- screen gaming.

Realme, as a brand was conceived with a ‘ design- first’ philosophy, with the belief that design is the first touch- point for any buyer. The Realme 2 Pro echos this sentiment with a specially designed dew drop back cover with a shiny effect. Also, the frame is cozy to hold and design in general is flauntwort­hy.
