Back in December, OnLeaks had leaked renders of a unique offering from realme with a horizontal camera design, reminiscent of the Galaxy S10 series and very similar to the Pixel 6. The phone was touted to be the realme GT2 Pro and had generated much hype because of its divergence from realme’s usual design language.

However, when official teasers of the GT2 Pro began flowing in, the device was found to ditch the horizontal camera layout, opting for the not-so-special top-left-aligned camera layout instead. After that, the realme GT2 Pro with the Pixel 6-like camera bar was never seen again.

But fast forward to today and said device has actually reemerged — tipster OnLeaks took to Twitter enquiring into its whereabouts, to which realme’s official global handle replied a very straightforward “stay tuned.”

The response clears rumors of the alt-realme GT2 Pro being just a concept that didn’t make the final cut, meaning we could be seeing it as a release soon. No expected launch date was provided, though, but considering the phone has been under development for a while now, we probably won’t have to wait much longer now.

Some of you may be wondering what happens to the realme GT2 Pro moniker since a device carrying the same name has already been released. To this, we’d say that realme may be planning on launching the phone as a special edition of its replacement or perhaps as a different model entirely.
