Realme GT 2 Pro is equipped with an in-display fingerprint sensor for security, Dolby Atmos, and Hi-Res for an immersive audio experience. Connectivity options include 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, NFC, and USB Type-C port. It measures 163.2 x 74.7 x 8.18mm and weighs 189 grams. The phone rocks a 5,000mAh battery with 65W fast charging support.

Moving to cameras, the Realme GT 2 Pro has triple cameras on the back, comprising of a 50MP Sony IMX766 primary sensor with f/1.8 aperture and OIS, a 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens with a 150-degree FoV, and a 40X microscope lens. There is a 32MP snapper on the front for selfies and video chats.

Realme GT 2 Pro expected price

Realme GT 2 Pro, considering its top of the line specifications and the China price that starts at RMB 3,699 (around Rs 43,400), we can expect it cost around Rs 50,000 in India, after the taxes. It should be interesting to see whether Realme would place the base model around the Rs 45,000 price tag.

Realme GT 2 Pro vs Motorola Edge 30 Pro

Realme GT 2 Pro should compete with the Motorola Edge 30 Pro in the country as they both come with Snapdragon 8 Gen1 chipset. However, there are chances that the Realme phone may cost slightly higher if not on the same lines as the Edge 30 Pro. The GT 2 Pro has a 2K AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate but the Motorola Edge 30 Pro just has an FHD+ panel but with a higher 144Hz refresh rate.

The rear optics are fairly similar but a front camera is a 60MP unit on the Edge 30 Pro compared to a 32MP unit on the Realme GT 2 Pro. They have almost similar fast-charging support onboard but GT 2 Pro has a slightly bigger 5000mAh unit compared to a 4,800mAh unit. They both run Android 12 OS out of the box. It all comes down to the price of the GT 2 Pro to conclude which is a better pick among the two.
