For the Realme 2 Pro, it’s been a price slash spree since the device, which was released in September last year, got a successor. Even before the Realme 3 Pro was unveiled, the Realme 2 Pro had gotten a number of price slashes. The price reduction continues as Realme has announced a fresh price cut for the device across brick and mortar stores in India. While this new price cut seems to be permanent, the device currently has an even cheaper price tag on online platforms Flipkart and Realme’s official store. The price cut, in this case, is temporary and is in celebration of its 1 year anniversary. The 4GB+64GB version of the Realme 2 Pro is offered for INR 10,990 and this offer is open until May 4.

As for the price on brick and mortar stores across India, the 4GB + 64GB model is now INR 11,490 (previously INR 11,990), the 6GB + 64GB model is INR 12,990 (was INR 13,990) and the elusive 8GB + 128GB starts at INR 14,990 (was INR 15,990).

It is almost four months already since OPPO’s Realme brand launched the Realme 2 Pro. The company had pledged to deliver fresh updates to its smartphones within the first half of 2019 and there is an indication it is going to keep to that pledge, at least for the Realme 2 Pro. A model suspected to be the Realme 2 Pro has been spotted on benchmark app database GeekBench. What makes the GeekBench listing stand out is the presence of Android 9.0 Pie operating system. Presently, the device runs ColorOS 5 based on Android 8.1 Oreo.

If the unnamed device is indeed the Realme 2 Pro, that will make it the first Realme model to get Android Pie. That shouldn’t be much of a surprise since the device is the company’s most expensive device. The GeekBench model is listed as “unknown RMX1801” but the device is strongly suspected to be the Realme 2 Pro because their software build numbers start with RMX. Apart from that, the model is listed as packing a Qualcomm Snapdragon  660 chipset and the 2 Pro is the only Realme smartphone featuring that chipset. The model also comes with 4GB of RAM.

We believe the update will hit soon but it is possible it is still deeply undergoing testing.
