Realme GT 2 Pro launch

Realme GT 2 Pro launch has been confirmed for December 9. The launch date clashes with that of the Moto Edge X30. Realme has deliberately chosen this date for the launch in order to be named as the first 8 Gen 1 phone.

It was supposed that Motorola Edge X30 would be the first to be powered by the newly launched Snapdragon chipset. However, Realme’s sudden announcement has changed the complete equation.

It’s worth noting that Realme would not want to reveal its most premium flagship without any big marketing that spans for at least a week. Thus, it’s possible that Realme GT 2 Pro will be announced on December 9. With a proper launch event to follow later sometime.

In a previous tweet, Sky Li said that Realme would be advancing into the high-end market with smartphones over USD800. This suggests that Realme GT 2 Pro could be priced above USD 800 (roughly Rs 60,000).
