oppo real me 2 review

oppo real me 2 

t's not easy for new brands to make a dent in the Indian market right now considering how competitive and crowded it already is. Oppo took a chance and launched a sub-brand called Realme earlier this year to target the affordable segment. And because it came with Oppo's backing, there was a lot of expectation that the company's first smartphone should do well. And the Realme 1 did exceed expectations, packing some powerful hardware and good looks at a really competitive price point. A little over three months and the company is already out with its second phone, the Realme 2, and the device is all about bringing features that are popular in 2018.

Before we get into the review, it's important to see the Realme 2 not as a direct successor, but as a version of the Realme 1, even though the name would suggest otherwise. The reason I say this is because while the Realme 2 brings a notch display, a dual camera setup, a fingerprint sensor and a bigger battery, which are definite upgrades, it also takes a step back with a downgraded processor and HD resolution. It's a phone that tries to fulfill the consumer's wishes but at the same time sacrifices some important features as well. And it comes at a price that is similar to the Realme 1 at Rs 8,990. So is the cheapest notched phone in India worth buying? Let's find out.

DESIGN

In many ways, the Realme 2 now gets everything the Realme 1 was missing from a design perspective. The first iteration was mainly criticised for not adding a fingerprint sensor. You get that now on the back of the device in addition to face unlock. Both are extremely fast, snappy and mostly accurate. Next up is the dual camera setup on the back which is an upgrade over the single sensor on the Realme 1. Completing the design is an edge-to-edge notched display which keeps the Realme 2 more up-to-date with the industry trend, although the 18:9 display on the Realme 1 was appreciated as well.The Realme 2's plan is to a great extent subsidiary and natural to the Oppo family. The front score show seems to be like the Oppo A3s and Oppo F7. You have the reflexive back plastic board with precious stone examples on top which again seems to be like the A3s and F7. This arrives in a decision of Red, Black and Blue choices. My survey unit was in red and it's quite showy and will call some consideration if that is what you're searching for. The other two alternatives ought to be more unpretentious and calm in examination. The plastic body additionally helps keep the heaviness of the telephone on the lighter side of things regardless of a substantial battery housed inside. It's additionally simple to hold in one hand on the grounds that Realme has kept the impression like the Realme 1 in spite of the expansion in the span of the show.

The catches around the casing have a pleasant material feel to it and the unique mark sensor on the back is amazingly quick at opening the gadget. In any case, the sensor sits flush against whatever is left of the back, which makes it troublesome now and again to achieve it in one shot. I would have preferred the whole body to have a more consistent and smooth feel to it, yet the glass sort of just stays there on the best awkwardly and influences it to look incoherent from whatever is left of the telephone. The Realme 2 has a strong form to it and ought to withstand the intermittent drops and weight. It additionally bolsters a 3.5mm earphone jack and a solitary speaker grille that isn't too noisy and clear.

Show

As I said before, the scored show makes the Realme 2 more 2018 than the Realme 1. The most recent telephone gets a greater screen and a bigger screen-to-body proportion (88.8 for every penny) with restricted bezels. The greater part of this is extraordinary in case you're searching for a minimal effort indented telephone, in light of the fact that the Realme 2 is one of the least expensive with a show pattern at this moment. That being stated, the main huge detectable minimization here is that the Realme 2 accompanies a HD+ (720x1520) goals rather than a FHD+ goals that the Realme 1 brings at this same value point. The pixel thickness is additionally a poor 271ppi, which implies hues on the screen don't look profound and punchy.
