Realme sets a date for the global launch of the GT2 flagship smartphone series

Realme's GT2 Pro may have been among the first flagship smartphone to launch with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC in China; however, this did not stop it striving to stand apart with an ostensibly eco-themed special edition, not to mention the 2022 product cycle's first DisplayMate A+ rating for its cutting-edge LTPO 2.0 display. Now, its maker has announced that it is finally ready to say hello to the rest of the world.

It will do so alongside its Snapdragon 870-powered GT2 sibling on February 28, 2022...which of course means the phones are coming to this year's MWC event in order to launch outside China. Many consumers may be glad to see them arrive at last, as their predecessor the GT was one of the most affordable premium phones of 2021 in a number of markets.

Realme has yet to confirm whether the GT2 and 2 Pro will debut with all of the specs, features and unusual finishes from their initial release. However, given the wider market they are now poised to dive into, there would be little reason to do so without all their most competitive features.
