It’s another great day for realme, as the brand recently announced that it has achieved the 7th rank in global smartphone shipments based on Counterpoint’s Q3 2019 data.
After being at the 10th spot in Q2 of 2019, it’s the first time for the brand to have reached such a feat, with more than 10 million shipments in Q3 and an 808% year on year growth (Rank 1 in the world), Making it the fastest growing smartphone brand.
The “Dare to Leap” concept has allowed it to accomplish such surprising results as an 18-month young brand even when global smartphone shipments are constantly decreasing. It’s also due to the quality of its products which offer good performance and imaging capabilities at such competitive prices.
In October 2019, realme’s global users exceeded 17 million. At present, its entire product portfolio has made its entry to the European market, with its flagship being introduced in a high-end market overseas. This in fact, the goal of realme’s globalization strategy. To date, the brand has established presence in 20 markets including China, SEA, Russia, India, Europe, and so on.

From initially introducing budget to mid-range devices, realme has also recently completed its portfolio with the introduction of the realme X2 Pro. At the same time, the young brand has also invited Naoto Fukasawa, a global industrial design giant, the be its Invited Design Director.
