The smartphone will go on sale from October 1 on Flipkart and will be available for Rs 10,999. The price makes this smartphone a competitor of the Realme 2, which is also quite a popular smartphone under Rs 15K. So, let’s see where these two devices stand in terms of specification. 

Before we start comparing these two devices, one should keep in mind that the Realme 2 4GB/64GB variant is priced at Rs 10,990, which is similar to the Nokia 5.1 Plus 3GB/32GB variant.
