Realme is OPPO’s sub-brand. It’s a core part of the company’s dual-brand strategy. Like other Chinese brands, OPPO and Realme fight for the highest places in the smartphone market (and not only). Also, like many other brands, Realme is focusing on cost-effective models, while OPPO carries all the weights. However, today, at the China Mobile Global Partner Conference, Xu Qi, the Realme executive said that Realme will enter the high-end smartphone market. Moreover, he disclosed that product prices will reach the 5,000-yuan ($781) price range.
According to the Realme exec, the first high-end new products will be launched early next year. However, Xu Qi did not disclose specific information.
Not surprisingly, Realme has become the next smartphone brand that has publicly announced its entry into the high-end market after Xiaomi, OPPO, and VIVO.
Prior to this, all three have already released flagship phones with prices above 5,000 yuan, hoping to fill the gap in the market left by Huawei. In some sense, they succeeded. Especially, this is true for Xiaomi. With the launch of the Xiaomi Mi 10in early 2020, the company could win customers’ hearts and successfully enter the niche. According to various data, in May 2020, the global sales of Xiaomi Mi 10 series mobile phones exceeded 1 million units.
