Oppo's sub-brand Realme is all set to launch its third smartphone next week, September 27, as the company has released a teaser video highlighting the Realme brand’s motto of targetting youth. In the Realme video, Realme has used a smartphone which is expected to be the Realme 2 Pro. As per the video, the new Realme device will be different from its earlier smartphones. The new phone doesn’t show Diamond Pattern design on its back, but exhibits a small waterdrop notch on top of the display. This feature has been witnessed the Oppo F9 Pro and Vivo V11 Pro. The moot question though is, will the users want to buy it? Does it have the 'it' factor? Here is everything known about the phone to help you decide. 
 
According to TelecomTalk report, the new phone doesn’t have a Diamond Pattern back, instead, looks like the company has opted for a matte finish back. The phone is shown in two colours of Robin Egg (as Honor calls it) and standard Black. From the rear side, the Realme 2 Pro looks like the Honor 9N and Honor 9 Lite smartphones.
 
The new Realme smartphone shows a water-drop notch design on its front, and the same has also been seen on the Oppo F9 Pro and Vivo V11 Pro smartphones. Since Realme is the sub-brand of Oppo, it is expected to borrow the new notch design, said the report, adding that there is a small chin besides having a fingerprint scanner on the rear side. Impressive, though the unique factor has been blown away! 
 
The Realme 2 Pro sporting a glass back is reportedly confirmed to retail under Rs 20,000. Well, that should really open up a largish section of the market-place for the phone.
