June 29, 2025
Earlier this month,Realmeannounced that it had achieved a landmark of four million sales across India and South Asia. Just a few weeks later, theOpposub-brand is back to claim another victory for therealme 2.
realme India CEO Madhav Sheth took toTwitterto announce that therealme 2has managed to hit lifetime sales of over two million units. It’s unclear whether this figure includes both the standard model and the realme 2 Pro — we’ve contacted realme to clarify this and will update the article accordingly. Nevertheless, the standardrealme 2launched in India in early September 2018, which means it took the company just a little over four months to hit this target.
A significant portion of these sales were garnered over the month of October, which marks a festive period in India. In fact, the company was able to capture nine percent market share in India during the period, which made them thesecond largest playerin the online-only segment.
While realme’s number is nothing to scoff at, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention thatXiaomiwas able to sell over six million smartphones in the same period, according to a press release at the time.
With the realme 2 sales accounting for over 50 percent of total shipments, there’s no doubt that the series has been the most successful one for the company. realme has since announced plans to launch a follow-up dubbed therealme 3in Q1 2019. realme also plans to expand into the offline retail segment in India. This will be followed by acamera-centric smartphonethat will sport a 48MP shooter which might just prove to be a competitor for theRedmi Note 7.
