Ever since its inception, realme has been breaking records through innovative products, incredible research and development capabilities, and remarkable adherence to green development. In two years of establishment, realme was named the world fastest growing smartphone brand for four consecutive quarters and was ranked 7th in the global smartphone market. In 2021, realme hit a record-breaking US$100 million in sales in just 37 months. That same year, realme was ranked 6th in the global smartphone market for the first time, as the youngest mainstream smartphone brand in the world. With its “Dare to Leap” spirit and the initial idea of empowering youth to be more daring through leap-forward technology and design, realme achieved breakthroughs and won the confidence of young consumers around the world.
In the process of product and packaging design, realme takes "3R+1D" as the design concept, focusing on reduction, recycling, reusing, and degradability of products and packaging. realme premium Global flagship, GT2 Pro, is the world first smartphone to use a biopolymer for its entire rear panel, reducing carbon emissions from its manufacturing by 35.5%. Compared with purely petroleum-based materials, this biopolymer creates 2kg fewer carbon emissions for every kilogram made. The percentage of plastic used in the phone packaging has also been reduced from 21.7% to a tiny 0.3%, which is almost no plastic left anymore. At the same time, realme also established a complete product recycling system to minimize the damage to the environment.
In August, realme celebrated its 5-year anniversary and unveiled the “Leap-Forward Climbing Plan”, announcing a new goal of aiming higher. Along with its brand philosophy of "Dare to Leap", realme will go on to work on its sustainable development, offering leap-forward products to the youth around the world.
