Chinese smartphone manufacturer Realme has marked a significant achievement by shipping over 200 million phones since its inception a little over five years ago. The company, a part of BBK Electronics, has reached the milestone in the second quarter of this year.
Realme counts among the top 10 smartphone brands out of 250 in existence
Data from Counterpoint Research reveals that Realme is the fifth fastest smartphone maker to achieve this feat, following Vivo, Huawei, Samsung, and Apple.
Most notably, Realme has achieved this milestone with most of the shipments in markets outside China. Not to mention, the company has become a global player in the competitive smartphone industry, and its rapid growth has positioned it among the top smartphone brands.
Xu Qi, Chief Marketing Officer at Realme, expressed pride in the company’s accomplishments, stating, “We came into existence when there were over 700 smartphone brands in the world. We are extremely proud that we have been able to be in the world’s top 10 brands for the past five years.”
Data from Counterpoint Research also highlights that the number of phone brands has reduced from over 700 in 2017 to around 250 in September. Realme’s ability to not only survive but thrive in this competitive environment underscores its strategic approach.
Currently, Realme is gearing up to compete in the premium smartphone segment with its upcoming release, the Realme GT 5 Pro. This device will be among the first smartphones to feature Qualcomm’s latest high-end chip, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and Sony’s new Lytia camera sensor.
In comparison, Xiaomi has recently unveiled the Xiaomi 14 Pro, which also runs on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, highlighting the intense competition and technological advancements within the smartphone industry. As Realme celebrates its achievement, it remains a dynamic player to watch in the ever-evolving smartphone market.
This milestone underscores Realme’s commitment to delivering quality devices and its ability to navigate a dynamic industry landscape, setting the stage for further accomplishments in the future.
