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.

Realme targets 20 million smartphone sales in China in 2021: Exec

Sean — Thu, 01 Apr 2021 10:27:53 +0000

Realme CMO and Vice President, Xu Qi, revealed during the launch of the company’s new GT Neo smartphone that it aims to reach 20 million handset shipments this year. It was previously estimated by the brand that it would reach 10 million units in shipments in China, but that figure has now grown.

As per the senior official, even the 10 million shipment figure was actually ‘conservative’ and that the Chinese tech giant is expecting at least 20 million units in sales in 2021. Furthermore, the goal to reach this high figure will be supplemented by the company’s efforts to boost its offline sales. This would be made possible as the smartphone vendor aims to expand the number of its physical stores in its home market of China to expand its coverage.

During the event, Xu Qi also announced that the company’s sales of smartphone in the first quarter of this year is nearly the same as its overall smartphone sales from last year. This marks an year on year increase of 463 percent in Q1 2021. Meaning, Realme has seen an explosive growth, especially in the Chinese market. The executive also added that the brand is aiming to triple its offline sales figure this year.

Notably, the OEM is also planning on following a dual flagship strategy. This implies that the firm will launch two flagship grade smartphones this year. The same strategy will also be adopted for its mid range segments. For the high end devices, the company will launch one smartphone with Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 series processor while the second one would sport a MediaTek Dimensity series 5G chipset.

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.
