realme once again takes the no. 1 spot in the Top smartphone vendors for Q1 202, repeating its achievement back in Q3 of 2020, and further solidifying its presence in the Philippine smartphone market.

According to Canalys, the brand was able to garner a 23% unit share, driven by a 95% annual growth, while another report from IDC shows that realme accounts for 21.3% of total market share. The report notes that this position is highlighted by the opening of new realme stores in the first quarter of 2021, expanding the brand’s channel reach in high growth potential areas outside of Manila.

Despite the challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, realme still showed the highest Year-on-Year growth during the quarter at +142%, according to Counterpoint Research. The brand also leads the e-commerce space with the highest proportion for online sales at 34%.

Winning customer-centric philosophy

realme continues to expand its presence both offline and online to ensure availability and accessibility of its products and services wherever customers are. To date, the brand has over 550 concept stores, kiosks, and partner dealers nationwide, and is available through e-commerce platforms like Lazada and Shopee.

16 service centers located in different parts of the country have also been activated to support after-sales service and other end-user needs, fulfilling their commitment of providing better customer service to every Filipino.

In line with its goal of actively listening to customers, realme also launched the realme Community app which serves as an official community forum where realme users can ask questions and receive guidance on their realme devices, share their ideas, and stay up to speed with the latest news and events. The app is available for download on Google Play.

Championing the Youth

Launched just this month, the realme 8 is a perfect example of the brand’s youth-driven innovation. Perfect for gaming enthusiasts, it boasts an Helio G95 SoC that delivers great performance in mobile gaming, as well as 30W Dart Charge and a 5,000mAh battery – a package ideal for the growing demand of a smartphone that can keep up with the youth’s needs and style. The device currently retails for PhP13,990.

Promising better innovations in the months to come, realme is bound to continue its streak in leading the smartphone and TechLife categories with its customer-centric approach in developing new products and services that its customers can enjoy.
