With competitiv­e prices under ₹20,000 for three variants, it is aimed to cater to demanding younger buyers and millennial­s who demand high specificat­ions at lower prices.

Speaking at the launch, Madhav Sheth, CEO of Realme India, said:, “With our first offering in the mid-range segment, we bring to you Realme 2 Pro, packed with a powerful processor, dewdrop full screen and much more. We are a one million-plus brand now in less than four months which we have achieved with just two phones in the market. We have entered markets like Indonesia, Vitenam, and entering the UAE in November.

By early next year, we will be having 10 global markets.”
