Final Verdict ~Is it Worth the purchase?

For its starting price of Rs 19,999, the Realme Pad 2 is actually a very good deal. It certainly has a spec sheet that imbibes Realme’s philosophy of providing the best bang for the buck.

Chief amongst them is a 11.5-inch 2K panel that refreshes at 120Hz, a feature that no other tablet is offering in the segment.

There’s also the design aspect of the tablet which makes it quite ergonomical to use although having a case provided alongside would help a lot.
Performance did not feel lacking although a better chipset could have been used in my opinion.

The software is modified effectively for tablet usage, but Realme still insists on using a lot of its own pre-installed apps.

As for the battery life, it is in the acceptable range, and I’m really impressed with the speaker setup on offer.

Overall, the Realme Pad 2 gets my thumbs up as an effective media consumption tool under Rs 20,000.
