Realme Celebrates 4 Million Smartphone Sales: From Realme 1 to Realme U1, Here’s the Journey So Far

Oppo’s sub-brand Realme has had quite a successful journey in India. The brand debuted in 2018 and had since then managed to capture some chunk from the highly competitive budget segment. In one of its latest tweets, the brand boasted about thRealme Hitting the 4 Million Milestone e milestone userbase that it acquired in a year. Realme has hit 4 million users, and we think that it is nothing less than commendable.

Realme Hitting the 4 Million Milestone

We can say that Realme has outdone itself as the brand is limited to India and the South East Asia region. The number is impressive as brands like HTC managed to garner just two million in 2018 and Realme has got double the numbers.

In India, Realme has acquired the third spot during the sales in festive season. It places Realme ahead of brands like Huawei in India. Counterpoint in its research shows that the brand was pretty much inactive in the offline sector. However, Realme recently revealed its plan to tap the offline market by targeting 150 Indian cities by the end of this year. Not only India, but Realme is also gearing up to enhance its presence in other Asian regions and also the Middle East and Africa. With its new plans brewing for expanding markets and starting offline sales, we can expect the brand to hit a more significant milestone in 2019.
