Realme CEO Madhav Sheth recently hinted at a price hike of Realme smartphones in India after Diwali. However, the company didn’t even wait for Diwali to start and increased the prices of two of its smartphones in India – the Realme 2 and Realme C1. At that time, there was no word on whether the company would increase the price of its other smartphones in India. But now, Realme CEO has confirmed that the company won’t increase the price of Realme 2 Pro in India.
Realme CEO Madhav Sheth in a tweet confirmed that the company won’t increase the price of Realme 2 Pro in India. The Realme 2 Pro was launched in India in late September and it comes in three different configurations – 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage, 6 GB RAM + 64 GB storage, and 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage. The 4 GB RAM variant is priced at ₹13,990, 6 GB RAM variant is priced at ₹15,990, and, the 8 GB RAM variant is priced at ₹17,990.
