Realme GT2 Pro is the brand’s latest flagship smartphone. It was announced in China last month and it is set to debut in international markets at MWC 2022 on February 28. The handset recently received a price cut in its home country. Followed by that, earlier today, the price of the base variant was slashed by a large amount on the company’s official website. Turns out it was a glitch.

After the recent price drop, the base 8GB + 128GB variant of Realme GT 2 Pro had been retailing at ¥3,499 ($552). For the unaware, it was introduced at ¥3,699 ($584).

But earlier today, this version of the phone was listed at only ¥2,999 ($473) on the official website of the brand. Hence, it was thought that the company had reduced the price again by ¥500 ($79).

However, it wasn’t the case. Xu Qi Chase, one of the VPs and the President of Global Marketing at Realme, clarified on Weibo that the difference in price was due to an error and it has been fixed.

The executive confirmed that the company will not cancel the orders of the customers who were able to grab the smartphone at an unbelievable price just a month after its release.

The Realme GT 2 Pro is Realme’s first proper flagship smartphone. Some of its highlights include a 6.7-inch QHD+ 120Hz LTPO 2.0 AMOLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, 50MP Sony IMX766 primary camera, 50MP 150˚ ultra-wide camera, 5,000mAh battery, and 65W fast charging.
