realme becomes the World’s 6th largest smartphone vendor in Q2 2021.

Having started from a nondescript brand, realme has surpassed all industry and customer expectations, expanding to over 61 markets worldwide and ranking as a Top 5 brand in over 18 of these markets. In the Philippines, the brand took the No. 1 spot for Q1 and Q2 2021 according to multiple global research firms. Last month, realme also became the fastest brand ever to ship 100 million smartphones, based on data reported by research firm Strategy Analytics for Q2 2021.

Echoing the brand’s “Dare to Leap” spirit, realme has taken bold moves in its business strategy such as globalization from the start, closely listening to consumer demands, and integrating advanced technologies in beautifully designed and user-friendly products. realme phones were the first in the segment with a pop-up camera, the first Android ecosystem with magnetic wireless charging tech, and one of the first with a 108MP camera. These types of trendsetting innovations at accessible price points have appealed to a young and tech-savvy audience who quickly became passionate supporters of the brand.

Li said realme’s next goal is to achieve a dual-100 million target – shipping another 100 million handsets by the end of 2022 and completing the same milestone within the 2023 calendar year. As for its product strategy, realme will streamline its multiple product lines and optimize its technological offerings.
