Update: Realme’s CMO, Francis Wang, took to Twitter shortly after the pictures surfaced to reveal that the C2 Pro will not be launching. Apparently, the box was designed but they won’t be moving forward with the product.
Haha I need clarify this.
C2 Pro is a dropped product. We did the design of the box but won't get a chance to use it.
There is a lot of mathematics & analysis behind every product we launch. https://t.co/iGy3mQq9hQ— Francis Wang (@FrancisRealme) September 28, 2019

The Realme C series may soon get a new member. The first of the affordable series, the Realme C1, which itself is just a Realme 2 with a redesigned notch, less RAM and storage; was launched last year. Realme has added two more phones – the Realme C1 (2019) and Realme C2 – to the lineup this year. It is now set to add a third which will arrive as the Realme C2 Pro.
Proof of this is a photograph of the phone’s retail box that has surfaced on the web, thanks to Mukul Sharma (@stuffListings). The photo which seems to have been taken at Realme’s office shows a bunch of Realme phones such as the Realme C2, Realme 2 Pro, Realme U1, Realme 3, Realme 3i, Realme 3 Pro, Realme 5, and Realme XT.
In addition to all these phones which have already been released, there is a box of the yet-to-be-announced Realme C2 Pro in the bottom right corner.
Unfortunately, there are no specs of the device available at the moment. However, we do not want you to get your hopes high as this may just be a version of the Realme C2 with more RAM and storage.
The Realme C2 has a 6.1-inch HD+ display with a waterdrop notch. It is powered by the Helio P22 processor and comes in 2GB + 16GB and 3GB + 32GB versions. There is a dedicated MicroSD card slot for up to an extra 256GB of storage.
The phone has a 13MP + 2MP dual-camera setup on its rear and a 5MP front-facing camera. It packs a 4000mAh battery and runs Android 9 Pie out of the box.
We expect more details about the Realme C2 Pro to surface soon and maybe even a launch, though most likely an online one.
