realme yesterday officially announced through a post on Weibo that the upcoming realme GT2 series will feature “a piece of paper science and technology.” The announcement post also revealed an event for the device scheduled for December 20th.

It isn’t exactly clear what Xu Qi, vice president of realme, exactly meant by the “paper technology” but it appears to be some new eco-friendly material that will be used on the realme GT2 series. This, the VP says, will open “a new chapter in mobile phone design.”

Judging from the posters, it seems that the new material may have something to do with paper and will likely be what the rear of the realme GT2 series will be made of. There aren’t really many materials that can be substituted for the usual glass, metal, or plastic and also look and feel like paper, although some suspect that it could be something like the DuPont Tyvek – a spun-bonded material made from high-density polyethylene fibers.

It was earlier learned that from among the upcoming GT2 series, the realme GT2 Pro model will be a true-flagship offering and will be the first of its kind for the company. It will be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, have an FHD+ 6.51-inch Super AMOLED screen, and feature an under-display fingerprint sensor. The battery will be sized 5000mAh and will support 65W fast charging. The phone is expected to boot into the latest realme UI 3.0 OS out of the box.
