Despite the global pandemic, the smartphone market is still doing quite well. In general, sales may decrease compared to last year, but we cannot say that individual manufacturers are doing poorly. According to Xu Qi, vice president of Realme, the monthly sales of Realme smartphones in the Chinese market have exceeded 1 million units in just one month. According to Xu Qi, the Chinese market is not an easy place to compete. He also said that there have been many scary moments in the past two years since Realme entered the Chinese smartphone market.
Xu Qi said: βTwo years ago, the question we faced was: Is there a chance for a new player? Can Realme have a place in this fiercely competitive market?β
At the beginning of 2020, the Chinese manufacturer adjusted its product strategy and offered "Comprehensive 5G". Since then, all Realme China products are 5G products. Xu Qi said: βFor Realme at that time, it meant giving up part of the market and opening up new opportunities. It was a heart decision."
In February this year, the company also announced a 2021 strategy of "dual platform + dual flagship". For mid-range and high-end products, it will use both Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 series and MediaTek Dimensity dual flagship 5G platforms to create two flagship series. These flagships will focus on performance and images respectively.
