Realme’s growth has been pretty astonishing so far, especially since it is just over a year old. Within this time span, it has grown from a small-time sub-brand of OPPO to one of the most sought out smartphone makers in the budget and mid-range segment. And turns out, it has got sales figures to back its popularity. According to counterpoint’s Q2-2019 Market Monitor report, Realme has climbed into the top 10 smartphone OEM club.
For a company that came into existence just last year, this is indeed a tremendous achievement. However, this isn’t entirely surprising. Realme had announced earlier this month that they had shipped more than 10 million smartphones worldwide in a matter of 14 months.

The company’s Realme 3 Pro that was announced back in April offers good value for money in the mid-range market, taking on the Redmi Note 7 Pro. The company has plans to ramp up its progress in India and China with additional models in the next few months. The brand has already released the Realme 5 Pro which is its first quad-camera smartphone! Then there’s the upcoming Realme XT that will feature the Samsung GW1 64MP sensor directly taking on the Redmi Note 8 Pro with the same sensor.
With so many powerful models incoming for the mid-range segment, the company seems to have some really strong plans to take on the Redmi brand in the budget and the mid-range market. If Realme can grab even a small chunk of this market from Redmi, it is all set to sell a few more million smartphone units by the end of the year.
