The Realme C11 (2021) has been quietly launched in India in a subtle way. The new Realme phone is an improved version of last year’s Realme C11. It mostly has lower specifications than the previous year’s model but particularly has the same design. The Realme C11 (2021) has one rear camera, a 20:9 display, and a 5,000mAh battery. It also has an octa-core processor and 2GB RAM. Furthermore, the Realme C11 (2021) has expandable storage of up to 256GB.
Sky Li officially launched Realme, a technology brand, on May 4, 2018. Realme’s ambition is to provide products that provide a comprehensive superior experience for the young, and Realme is committed to being a trendsetting technology brand. Due to its capabilities in cutting-edge smartphone and IoT technologies, Realme brings consumers products with trendsetting technologies, features, and experiences that are first applied in the price segment. Realme announced its dual-driven strategy of “Smartphone + AIoT” at the start of 2020. In June 2020, Realme’s global smartphone user base reached 35 million, and its sales volume of AIoT audio products surpassed the one million mark.
Realme had a flurry of launches last year, leaving no time to catch a breath. It is clear that there will be several launches this year as well, but the game plan has clearly changed. Realme has progressed from the low-cost segment to the premium segment and now into the IoT space. And all of this has occurred in less than two years, which is commendable. Given the path Realme is currently on, it is clear that the company’s goal for this year is to be everywhere, including the budget and premium phone segments, smart TV, audio, smartwatch, and many more.
