Oppo and Vivo held the top two spots with 27% and 25% shares, respectively. Tech powerhouse Samsung was number 3 with a 9% share during Q4 but its shipments plunged by 32% -- the only company to experience to a negative growth.
Realme’s latest midrange offering -- the Realme XT -- was recently launched in the local market with its flagship-level 64MP quad-camera setup, Snapdragon 712 processor, and a 4000mAh battery packages in a sub-P20,000 price segment.
Realme said it will focus on products at the P5,000 to P15,000 price range, adding that it has no plans of going into the mid-range and high-end segments.
Realme, the newest smartphone brand in the Philippines, is now gearing up for its nationwide availability by expanding to more than 1,000 stores nationwide.
To reduce overall power consumption, the Realme C1 restricts background applications not in use through its core power-saving features: App-freezing Power Saver and Quick App Freezing.
