After launching smartphones in the affordable and mid-range, Realme is planning to bring products in the premium segment. The company’s founder and CEO have already confirmed via his official Twitter account that they might bring devices close to $800, which means close to Rs. 60,000.

Furthermore, Realme can also work on providing high-end camera modules, large camera sensors, ultra-wide angles, and telephoto lens.Notably, the founder and CEO Sky Li has not announced the exact date of the upcoming smartphones, but we hope that Realme might bring all high-end products in 2022.

Realme Expansion Plans For India

Apart from launching high-end devices, the company is increasing its footprint in India. The company has opened 200 exclusive stores in the country. Notably, all stores are operational from today( November 13th, 2021).

“Realme’s exclusive stores are a key part of our growth strategy and are in line with our focus of providing our customers with first-hand experience of realme products,” Madhav Sheth, CEO, realme India, VP, realme, and President, realme International Business Group said.

“With our new stores, we are all set on our target of opening 300 exclusive stores across the country this year, and we are excited about expanding this number further in the upcoming year,” he said further.

The new stores will have all products of the Realme TechLife ecosystem. It includes all smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other gadgets.
