Realme GT 2 series global launch has been confirmed. The flagship series from Realme will launch on the inaugural day of Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2022 next week. The flagship smartphone series from Realme comprises two models — the vanilla Realme GT 2 and Realme GT 2 Pro. Both the devices were launched in China in early January. The vanilla Realme GT 2 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC while Realme GT 2 Pro features a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. It remains to be seen if the global version of the smartphones will be different from their Chinese models.

Through a press release and a tweet, Realme confirmed that the Realme GT 2 series will get a global launch on February 28 at 9am GMT (2:30pm IST). The flagship smartphone series will launch on the inaugural day of MWC 2022 and the event can be livestreamed on Realme UK's Twitter and YouTube channels. There is no mention of a dedicated India launch yet, but Realme CEO Madhav Sheth hinted earlier this month that Realme GT 2 and Realme GT 2 Pro will launch in India sometime soon.
