It is already a confirmed fact that Realme will be launching its first 5G phone – the Realme X50 Pro 5G simultaneously in Spain and India on February 24. The event which will be an online-only event will also see the company unveil its plans for future IoT products.

Realme doesn’t have any IoT device in the market presently but has just announced an app that will serve as a hub for its ecosystem. The app is called the Realme Link. According to the company, the Realme Link will come pre-installed on all future Realme smartphones and it will let you view and control all your Realme IoT products from one place. The app is obviously still in development as the company recently shared four different icons on Realme Community and is seeking for users to vote for the one they like best. According to Realme, the main icon consists of two interconnected letters L, which stands for “Link”. The letter “O” in the middle, stands for “Operator”. Also, +the “O” represents an ecosystem. “We hope to bring you an ecosystem with excellent IoT experience through realme Link. The extension of the circle represents that realme aims to continuously enrich AIoT product categories and prefect the experience of the realme ecosystem. You can also see the icon as two people hugging. realme Link wants to provide a platform for our fans to have more connections with each other.”

The voting is open until February 21, 4:30 PM IST. We expect some cool smart home gadgets to also go official on February 24. Already, we know the company will launch a fitness tracker and TWS headset.
