Yesterday, the Oppo sub-brand Realme launched probably its last release in India for 2019 which is the Realme X2. In an event held in Delhi, Realme took the stage to launch its latest phone which it has termed as the “mid-range flagship”. Along with this smartphone, Realme also introduced another gadget from its portfolio, which is the Realme Air Buds. As we have seen the Realme X2 debuts in the mid-range category, and if there is any strata of smartphone price ranges which is more competitive than others, it is the mid-range segment. Especially 2019 has been the year where we saw the coming of the in-display fingerprint sensor, the dot notch and other features make their way into the mid-range smartphone. Now, the Realme X2 comes with some noteworthy specifications, and there are no two thoughts about it. It debuts with a starting price tag of Rs 16,999, and in this price range, the smartphone goes against another one of the most popular phones in India right now, the Redmi Note 8 Pro. A lot of you might already be considering and comparing these two phones, and here we are to help you out in this comparison.

Display Comparison
When it comes to display, you will find that both of these smartphones come with almost identical displays and even in sizing, there is very little difference that catches the eye. While the Realme X2 sports a 6.4-inches Super AMOLED display, the Redmi Note 8 Pro has got a slightly bigger 6.53-inch display. Both of these phones sport the rounded dot notch up top and have a semblance to each other. When it comes to the fingerprint sensor, the Realme X2 has got one under the display, and the Redmi Note 8 Pro comes with a fingerprint sensor on the rear side. So, this is one difference which sets the Realme X2 a little ahead. Both the phones come with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection.
