Realme has today launched two new smartphones, the Realme X2 Pro and the Realme 5s at an event in India. The X2 Pro was already launched in China last month, and today it has finally made its way in India as the latest flagship from the company. To ensure new consumers don’t miss out on the phone on its first sale, the company had organized a two-day blind order sale a couple of days back, wherein interested consumers could reserve the phone by paying Rs 1000, and pay the rest at the time of the sale.
