The Oppo Realme 2 is about offering the latest feature at a price that doesn’t tear the pocket. It also balances price cuts with some decent specs and a good looking build. Featuring the widely popular notch and a dual camera, the smartphone is not lacking in style as it flaunts a gradient finish that catches the eye. The wrap sheet suggest it is just about the bottom of the mid-range level even if it looks like a more premium smartphone.

Design and Display
At first sight, there is a higher chance that you would take the Oppo Realme 2 for a higher end smartphone than it is. Apart from the obvious notch, the sleek construct of the smartphone depicts a recently made gadget. The back Is made from fibre glass and is very reflect with about 15 tangent planes that catches light at different angles creating a nice visual aesthetics. Camera are placed side by side at the left corner alongside a flash and the fingerprint scanner toward the centre.
A fan of notched display and large screen? This is your chance to get your hands on one without having to break the bank. You still get some decent functionalities on the smartphone but a crisp display is not one of them. Going up to 6.2-inch with a 19:9 aspect ratio, the smartphone sports a 1520 X 720 pixel resolution.
Battery and Camera
There is also the fact that you get to play with your smartphone a bit longer because of the ample supply you have from the battery. Enough said, the 4, 230mAh battery is a comfortable daily use even on slightly intense use.
Optics is fairly strong too for a bottom level mid-tier smartphone with a dual rear combination. That is featuring a 13MP plus 2MP duo camera at the back along with an 8MP sensor in the notch area up front. The second low pixel camera is often used for depth focus for taking better portrait pictures.
Hardware and Software
Not much is in the smartphone hardware as it is just an okay Qualcomm SoC we’re talking about. Running eight cores, the Snapdragon 450 is in charge accompanied by an Adreno 506 GPU. Don’t expect a stellar performance from this smartphone, however, it would handle basic functions well.
The ordinary model ships with 3GB RAM and a 32GB of storage space built-in. However, there is a more premium version with 4GB RAM and a 64GB storage space. Both supports expansion up to 256GB using a MicroSD card. You’ve got ColorOS 5.1 based on the Android 8.1 Oreo.
