Realme GT 2 global launch officially confirmed

Madhav Sheth confirmed that the Realme GT 2 lineup would soon make its global debut. Sheth revealed that the devices would launch in Europe, as well as in India. “We’ll be having a global launch very soon for the GT 2 series, and you’ll soon hear from us. so it’s going to be a global launch and it’s going to be in Europe also,” said Sheth. Madhav, however, did not reveal an exact launch date or month, so we are uncertain as to when the devices will launch outside of China. Our best guess would be February 2022, as the brand might first launch one or some of its Realme 9 series devices.

More Realme tablets and laptops incoming

Not only the GT 2 series, but Sheth also revealed that Realme would launch more laptops and tablets in 2022. The brand will unveil its next generation of Realme Pad tablets and Realme Book laptops at different price points. “I think yes definitely we’ll see a lot of new tablets coming in different other price segments. At the same time, laptops you’ll see coming down.”, said Madhav.

What about Realme’s Android updates policy plans?

Amid several smartphone brands announcing a three-year Android update policy for their flagships, Realme still wants to stick to its two-year Android update policy for its entire portfolio of smartphones. “I think we are still sticking to that particular point that we are going for two years of (OS) updates and the regular security patch updates for three years.”, said Sheth.
