Realme 2 Pro — Full Specifications, Features & Price in Pakistan

Introduction

Launched in September 2018, the Realme 2 Pro was Realme's first genuine mid-ranger: a Snapdragon 660 AIE chip, a 6.3-inch FHD+ dewdrop display, a 16MP Sony IMX398 camera with 4K video, and up to 8GB of RAM — all starting at INR 13,990 in India.

Like the rest of the 2018 Realme line-up, the 2 Pro is discontinued and only available used. It remains one of the more capable phones of its generation on the second-hand market, but buyers need to weigh its age against its still-respectable hardware. This guide covers the verified specs and what to check before buying one in Pakistan.

Design and Build Quality

The Realme 2 Pro used a polycarbonate body with a 15-layer laminated finish that produced a glossy, light-catching effect — a step up from the matte plastic of cheaper rivals. It measured 156.7 x 74 x 8.5 mm and weighed 174 grams.

The front was dominated by the 6.3-inch display with a tiny dewdrop notch, one of the smallest notches of 2018. Reviewers praised the build quality but noted the glossy laminated back scuffed easily, so inspect used units for scratches.

Display Features

The 6.3-inch IPS LCD offers a full-HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels at a 19.5:9 aspect ratio (about 409 ppi), protected by Corning Gorilla Glass. Realme claimed a 90.8% screen-to-body ratio.

For a 2018 phone this was a bright, sharp panel. It still holds up reasonably for video and reading today, though it lacks the high refresh rate and deep blacks of modern AMOLED screens.

Processor and Performance

The Snapdragon 660 AIE (Artificial Intelligence Engine) is a 14nm octa-chip with four Kryo 260 performance cores at 2.2GHz, four efficiency cores at 1.8GHz, and an Adreno 512 GPU. The AIE branding reflects on-device AI features for the camera.

In its day it handled gaming and multitasking well for the price, and it remains the strongest chip in the 2018 Realme family — noticeably faster than the Snapdragon 450 in the standard Realme 2. That said, it is a 2018 mid-range chip: fine for everyday apps, but heavy modern games and demanding multitasking will push its limits.

RAM and Storage

Three configurations were sold: 4GB + 64GB, 6GB + 64GB and 8GB + 128GB, with UFS 2.1 storage and a dedicated microSD slot supporting up to 256GB. The 8GB/128GB variant was unusually generous for the price in 2018.

On the used market, the 6GB and 8GB variants are the ones worth buying — 4GB RAM struggles more with today's heavier apps.

Camera Features

The rear dual camera pairs a 16MP Sony IMX398 sensor (f/1.7, 1/2.8-inch, Dual Pixel focus, 6P lens) with a 2MP depth sensor, supporting 4K video recording at 30fps — a genuine highlight for the price in 2018. The front camera is a 16MP sensor (f/2.0) with AI Beauty 2.0.

Daylight stills were good for the segment, and 4K video remains a differentiator among used 2018 phones. Low-light photography was only average even when new, and the glossy back's scuffs can sit over the camera glass — check the lens area carefully on used units.

Battery and Charging

The 3,500mAh battery is the 2 Pro's weakest spec on paper — smaller than the 4,230mAh in the standard Realme 2. With no fast charging (10W over micro-USB), a full charge takes a while.

When new it lasted a full day of moderate use. Any surviving unit is now 8 years old, so real-world endurance will be lower; test battery drain before buying, and factor in that a replacement battery for a discontinued model may be hard to source.

Software and Updates

The phone launched with Android 8.1 Oreo and ColorOS 5.2; third-party spec listings report an upgrade path to Android 10 with Realme UI. Official support ended years ago, so no security patches have arrived for a long time.

Most everyday apps still run, but banking and payment apps increasingly demand newer, patched Android versions. As with all phones of this generation, treat it as a secondary device rather than a primary phone for sensitive use.

Connectivity and Additional Features

Connectivity covers dual 4G VoLTE, dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS/GLONASS, micro-USB with OTG and a 3.5mm jack. There is no NFC and no 5G. The rear fingerprint sensor was quick for its time, and face unlock is also included.

Variants, Colours and Availability

Variants: 4GB + 64GB, 6GB + 64GB, 8GB + 128GB in Black Sea, Ice Lake, Ocean Blue and Diamond Red. The Realme 2 Pro is discontinued; in Pakistan it appears only in the used market, with condition and price varying by seller.

Price in Pakistan and PTA Information

No verified current Pakistan price is available for the Realme 2 Pro. It launched in India at INR 13,990 (4GB + 64GB) in 2018 — historical pricing only. The older catalog figure of Rs. 23,000 is from the stale 1 October 2026 import and should not be treated as the current market price. Used prices depend on variant and condition — confirm with Zohaan Mobile Gallery.

Check PTA approval per device and IMEI before purchase; many older used phones in Pakistan have non-PTA or patched status that affects network use.

Main Advantages and Limitations

Advantages

• Snapdragon 660 AIE — the strongest chip in Realme's 2018 line-up
• Sharp 6.3-inch FHD+ display with a tiny dewdrop notch and Gorilla Glass
• 16MP Sony IMX398 camera with 4K video — rare at this price in 2018
• Up to 8GB RAM + 128GB UFS 2.1 storage with dedicated microSD slot
• Rear fingerprint sensor, face unlock, 3.5mm jack

Limitations

• Small 3,500mAh battery with no fast charging — and 8 years of degradation on used units
• Android 8.1/10 with no recent security updates
• Discontinued; parts and accessories scarce
• Glossy back scuffs easily; inspect used units carefully
• Micro-USB in 2026; no NFC, no 5G

Who Should Consider This Phone?

The Realme 2 Pro suits buyers looking for the most capable used phone from Realme's 2018 generation — perhaps as a backup device, a media player, or a starter phone where the FHD+ display and 4K-capable camera matter. The 6GB and 8GB variants are the sensible picks.

Skip it if you need all-day battery life (the 3,500mAh cell was never generous), long software support, or a primary phone for banking. A used Realme 5 or 5 Pro offers a newer chip, bigger battery and Android 9 for not much more money.

Is a used Realme 2 Pro PTA approved?

Should I buy the Realme 2 Pro or the standard Realme 2?

The 2 Pro is better in every meaningful way: faster Snapdragon 660 chip, sharper FHD+ display, 16MP camera with 4K video and up to 8GB RAM. The standard Realme 2's only edge is its larger 4,230mAh battery.

Final Verdict

The Realme 2 Pro was one of 2018's best value mid-rangers, and its Snapdragon 660, FHD+ display and 4K-capable camera still make it the pick of the 2018 Realme family on the used market. Its age shows in the small degraded battery, old Android and micro-USB port — buy only after hands-on checks of battery, screen and IMEI.
