Realme to Address the Tradeoffs of Realme 1 with Realme 2
The Realme 1 was an excellent smartphone for the asking price of Rs 8,990, but to achieve that insane price tag, Realme compromised on some features. The Realme 1 lacked a fingerprint scanner, but instead, it offered Face Unlock feature. The Realme 2 will sport a fingerprint scanner, according to a leaked render of the phone. Thanks to Oppo’s Color OS, the Realme 2 might also offer Face Unlock functionality.
Realme 2 is Also Expected to Be Priced Aggressively
The Realme 2 succeeds the Realme 1, which became an instant hit because of its aggressive pricing. The company managed to sell 4 lakh units of Realme 1 in 40 days and even secured 1% market share in Q2 2018.
