After posting an incredible 962.5% annual growth and capturing 25.4 percent local market share, Realme is now the country’s number one smartphone brand in the Philippines (Q3 2020).
Three research firms, namely Canalys, IDC, and Counterpoint Research, confirm that the two-year-old brand is the market leader in their Q3 reports. Realme has an enormous presence in the country, boasting 465 kiosks, 119 concept stores, and 5200+ partner stores in just two years. Additionally, its online presence on Lazada and Shopee continues to be strong as it consistently tops the list of best-selling brands.
What’s interesting, however, is that Realme subtly teased an upcoming “powerful flagship contender” before the year ends. With that in mind, we might see a successor of the Realme X3 SuperZoom that launched earlier this year for Php24,990. As to what phone that is, it remains to be seen.
“We are immensely grateful to our Filipino fans for helping us reach the top spot here in the Philippines. We celebrate this remarkable achievement with every Filipino realme user who shares our confidence in the performance and capability of our products — this would not have been possible without you. We assure our fans that we’ll continue to be relentless in bringing top-notch devices to the country as we aim to embolden them in achieving their every goal. Maraming salamat po!” shares realme Philippines VP for Marketing Austine Huang.
