As scheduled, the new Realme Q2 series was officially released today. The series includes three models instead of the two we expected, namely the Realme Q2 and the Realme Q2 Pro 5G and Realme Q2i 5G.
Realme Q2, Q2i 5G and Q2 Pro 5G official in China
Let's start with the Q2 Pro 5G which uses a 6,43-inch Samsung Super AMOLED screen with a maximum brightness of 600 nits and supports a sampling rate of 180Hz. The smartphone is equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 800U processor, supported by 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of internal memory. The chip clearly also carries 5G dual SIM dual standby connectivity.
While as regards the cameras we have four on the back with 48MP main, 8MP ultra wide secondary, a 2MP macro and a 2MP depth sensor. For selfies we find a 16MP front camera with f / 2.1 aperture
The Realme Q2 Pro 5G is powered by a 4300mAh battery, with support for a 65W flash charge, which can fully charge the smartphone in just 33 minutes. So we can call it the most enjoyable battery charging experience in its price range. Realme also claims that with 3 minutes of charging you can get an hour of use or a standby period of 2 days.
Finally, the Q2 Pro 5G adopts a decidedly premium design with a white leather back cover, weighs only 175 grams and integrates a 3.5mm audio jack. The smartphone will be available with a glass back cover and rainbow color.
As mentioned earlier, in addition to the Pro version, the Q2 series also has a standard version. This uses a high speed IPS LCD screen with 120Hz refresh rate and is equipped with the same MediaTek Dimensity 800U processor coupled with 4GB or 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal memory.
The cameras on the back drop to three, with a 48MP main, 8MP secondary and a 2MP camera for capturing depth data. For selfies, the 16MP camera with f / 2.1 aperture remains.
The Realme Q2, however, has a more capacious battery at 5000mAh, even if the intelligent flash charging supports a maximum power of 30W. Perhaps due to the battery, the standard version is then heavier at 194 grams, but poco bad since with the 5% charge we will be able to have a whole day in standby.
Finally, we have the cheapest of all, the Realme Q2i 5G. This smartphone adopts three cameras on the back, aligned with the square module LED flash. The cameras include a main one with a 13MP sensor, followed by two 2MP sensors, one for taking macro photos and the other for taking portraits. While the front camera inside the drop notch has an 8MP sensor and an f / 2.0 aperture.
The other specs of the Q2i see a 6,52-inch 720p resolution LCD display with the fingerprint scanner on the back. Inside is a 5.000mAh battery that comes with 18W fast charging support. The smartphone will be available in two colors: blue or silver, both with some triangular shapes on the back to make the panel a little fancier.
Finally, for pricing, we have the Q2 Pro 5G at 1.799 yuan (€ 225) and 1.999 yuan (€ 250), respectively for the 128GB and 256GB versions.
The Realme Q2 5G starts at 1,299 yuan (€ 160) for the version with 4GB of RAM and 1,399 yuan (€ 175) for the 6GB version.
The Realme Q2i is instead the cheapest 5G smartphone at only 998 yuan, about 125 euros at the current exchange rate.
It is worth noting that Realme and QQ Speed Mobile Games have also created a limited Q2 series gift box, which contains a light gray Q2 Pro, as well as customized commemorative car models from Realme, exclusive protective cases, but their price has not yet been announced.
