For the IOT category, realme pad 2 achieved 122% more than the previous generation during first sale. These achievements showcase realme’s continued commitment to delivering innovative and high-performing products that resonate with consumers.
Furthermore, realme’s strong offline presence and expansion into the offline channel have played a significant role in enhancing customer engagement and ecosystem development. The brand’s strategic focus on both online and offline channels has allowed it to cater to diverse consumer preferences and ensure seamless access to its products. By continuously pushing boundaries and delivering exceptional devices, realme has solidified its position as a prominent player in the Indian smartphone market. With a compelling product lineup and customer-centric approach, realme is well-poised to continue its upward trajectory and achieve even greater success in the future.
