SHENZHEN, CHINA — August 7, 2025:
In just seven years, fast-rising smartphone brand Realme has achieved a landmark feat: 300 million global users, a figure confirmed by research firm Counterpoint. This remarkable growth cements Realme’s place among the world’s fastest-growing smartphone brands.
After hitting 100 million users in 2021 and 200 million in 2023, the brand’s momentum continues with a clear mission—to democratize cutting-edge technology for the youth.
“Each of our 300 million users represents a real story,” said a Realme spokesperson. “This is not just a number—it’s a global community built on trust, innovation, and inspiration.”
Founded in 2018, Realme has tailored its product strategy around young users by offering powerful features in affordable smartphones. From the flagship GT series, to the mid-range Number series, and the budget-friendly C series, Realme provides devices that cater to all needs and lifestyles.
With performance features supporting mobile gaming, photography, and multimedia, Realme has also tapped into youth culture through collaborations with popular franchises such as Dragon Ball, Naruto, Lonely Planet, and FreeFire.
The company’s slogan, "Make it real," reflects its commitment to delivering tech that’s both aspirational and accessible.
Beyond devices, Realme has built a thriving global fan base of over 15 million, with regular offline and online community engagement. The annual 828 Global Fan Festival, celebrated every August 28, is a highlight. At last year’s event in Shenzhen, over 200 fans and media from around the world witnessed the unveiling of a 320W fast-charging solution, capable of powering a phone to 100% in just four minutes.
Realme sees this milestone as more than sales success—it's a foundation for future innovation, deeper user connections, and expanding influence across emerging and developed markets.
“The future belongs to brands that stay close to their users,” said the spokesperson. “We’re proud of this milestone, but more importantly, we’re excited about what comes next.”
With a strong foothold in over 60 markets, including key regions across Asia, Europe, and Latin America, Realme aims to continue its journey of making high-end technology available to everyone, everywhere.
