Realme is apparently planning on expanding its presence in the premium segments of the smartphone market. The company’s President shared this news, stating that new flagship models will arrive that cost around the 5,000 Yuan mark (roughly 780 US Dollars).
Xu Qi, the President of the Chinese smartphone maker stated that these upcoming devices will be aimed at the upper premium segments of the market in China and will arrive with top notch specs and feature (Via ITHome). While the executive did not reveal any finer details at the moment, he did state that we can expect these high end premium smartphones to launch sometime in early 2022.
Notably, Realme will be joining the likes of Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo who are also expanding in the ultra premium segment market in China. So, we can expect a number of new handsets from the various brands competing against each other next year. For those unaware, ultra premium segment smartphones have usually been dominated by Apple and Samsung in the global market with their flagship models costing around or over the 5,000 Yuan price point.
While Chinese brands are known for offering great value for money devices in the entry level to even the budget flagship levels, these brands are now seeking to expand their presence in the top segment as well. Unfortunately, it is unknown which series Realme will be launching the new flagship devices in, but it might just be a new annual flagship lineup like the Galaxy S series. Although, this is just speculation so take it with a pinch of salt for now.
