Realme history
The history of Realme goes back to 2010 when Oppo announced the 'Oppo Real'. At Oppo, the idea then grew to launch a separate sub-brand focused on stylish smartphones with solid performance and an affordable price tag. In 2018, a separate company was formed and the first phones under the Realme brand were announced.
The company initially sold its phones mainly in India after which it gradually expanded to other countries and continents. Thus, Realme became active in large parts of Asia and Europe in 2019. Customers could appreciate the Realme phones. In 2019, Realme managed to sell 10 million units already.
