Realme's P2 Pro launched in September 2024 and moved the P-series upmarket with a curved display, a Qualcomm chipset and a larger battery. It was aimed at buyers in the 20,000 to 25,000 rupee range who were also considering the Motorola Edge 50 Fusion, Poco X6 Pro and Nothing Phone (2a). Its slim curved design gave it a more premium in-hand feel than the earlier P1.
The 6.7-inch curved AMOLED display at 120Hz is sharp and vivid, and the curved glass sides make the phone easy to hold. Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 delivers steady, efficient performance for everyday use and moderate gaming, though it trails the Poco X6 Pro's Dimensity 8300 Ultra in raw power. IP65 protection against water jets was a step up from the IP54 ratings common in this segment.
The 50 MP Sony LYT-600 main camera with OIS takes balanced photos, and an 8 MP ultrawide adds flexibility. The 32 MP selfie camera is a strong point for video calls and social media. The 5,200 mAh battery with 80W charging is among the best combinations at this price. For buyers who prioritise battery, display and design over benchmark scores, it was a well-rounded option.
