realme defines its AIoT strategy as a “1+4+N” initiative, which refers to one core product (smartphones), complemented by four major groups of lifestyle devices (speakers, earphones, TVs and watches) which is in turn supported by “N” types of smart accessories.

realme’s CEO, Mr Li Bingzhong, issued the following comments:

  • Since 2018, realme has grown to 40M users, and this is due to the strong, youthful and international team here at realme. With an average age of only 29 years old, this team has shown that they dared to leap forward and proved the power of youth in a competitive market.
  • As we continue to build upon a strong H1 performance, realme is aiming to sell 100m phones in 3 years. We plan to continue our international expansion plans, where we think there will be the most growth.  For example, our AIoT products have been performing well in the Indian market, where we sold 15,000 TV sets within 10 mins and our smart personal audio devices have reached 3rd place in terms of market share within 3 months.
  • realme has done well in expanding to nearly 60 different countries and regions. As the world’s fastest growing smartphone brand, this is a validation of our mission and strategy to empower youths to ‘dare to leap’ outside of their boundaries.

realme’s products have also made waves in the design world. In 2020, realme’s Design Studio have collaborated with world-renowned designers Naoto Fukasawa and Jose Levy, of Hermes fame to produce trendsetting realme products. In addition, realme has won the prestigious Red Dot Design Award for its X2 Pro Master, issuing a strong challenge to incumbent brands. realme has pioneered innovations not only in design but also in technology, most notably when it launched the world’s first 125W fast charging technology.
