Realme just launched 6 devices in 2019, but those devices come with highly competitive specs and features for the price which resulted in record-breaking sales for the brand in both online and offline sales.

The other reason for realme's massive growth is the way it quickly established offline and online sales channels. After it turned 1 last November 2019, realme claimed that it now has over 4,500 partner stores in the country. Realme also announced that it now has 280 kiosks and 24 concept stores nationwide
