Realme’s CEO, Sky Li, recently shared some big news with the global community through an open letter. Realme is all set to shake things up in 2024 with their new product strategy called “Top to Bottom Expansion.” This move is aimed at bringing a wider range of products, covering both the high-end and budget-friendly segments. After giving Realme a fresh look in January, Sky Li’s two open letters underscore Realme’s confidence and plans for the year.
What’s coming in 2024? Realme is making a comeback with the GT series in global markets, targeting the high-tech side of things. At the same time, they’re introducing the all-new Note series, focusing on delivering value for money in the entry-level smartphone market.
Sky Li’s open letter
As the fastest-growing global smartphone brand since 2018, Realme is ready for an even bigger 2024 with the return of the GT series and the launch of the Note series. The Realme Note 50, the first model in this series, has already made headlines, and there’s a buzz about two more Note models later in the year.
