Global smartphone brand realme and Coca-Cola are likely to join hands to bring a unique offering for the Indian market, which will be the biggest announcement of the year.

There are already leaked stories around the possibility of launching a new phone as part of the collaboration.

According to sources, the launch will be in line with realme’s philosophy of Leap forward experience enabled by powerful technologies and stunning design.

The product might benefit tremendously owing to realme and Coca-Cola’s massive appeal among the Indian youth. It will also be interesting to see two trendy brands coming together to create trendy lifestyle options for the youth.

realme currently has over 70 million customers in India and has been seen actively working with local communities and youth oriented brands for a wide range of unique technologies, offerings and experiential campaigns.

For realme, India has always remained the biggest and most important market with it contributing 50 per cent of the user base. The year 2022 has been an eventful year during which they have introduced a number of smartphones across its series to cater to the varied needs of its customers.

The phone is expected to have various brand-new and exciting features, as well as an innovative look — complementing product DNA of both the brands.

It is yet to be seen if the phone will be a special edition or a new smartphone range by realme and Coca-Cola, according to sources.

There was no response from any of the brands when reached out for a statement.

To create resonance among Indian youth, realme has executed multiple brand associations with top designers in India and platforms like FDCI x Lakme Fashion Week to provide them with leap forward brand experience.

Last year, realme collaborated with Amit Aggarwal to replicate and embody GT NEO 3T’s design ethos to his fashion line. realme NEO 3T’s exclusive checkered flag design symbolizing speed, passion, victory, and glory became an inspiration that powered realme x Amit Aggarwal �ONYX’ collection.

The collaboration at the country’s most sought-after premier fashion event presented an elevated exploration of trend-focused fashion concepts rooted in empowering design and brought a perfect fusion of technology and avant-garde design coming together to create amazing designs with the human touch.

The brand also recently released a youth track, �Naya Nazariya’, produced by realme Music Studio.

The new track sits at the centre of realme’s campaign for the realme 10 Pro series launch, “New Vision” that promotes a new way of thinking among the youth that embraces a larger vision of making conscious life choices and is a part of realme’s �Dare to Leap’ campaign for 2023.

Announcing the track, Madhav Sheth, CEO realme India, VP, realme and President, realme International Business Group had said that “With the rising stars of the country, a tone of inspiration, and the dare to leap” attitude, we want to turn the music studio into a platform that enables young people to be inspired while having fun.”

Realme leads race to embrace 5G

realme was the first brand to introduce a 5G smartphone in India in 2020 when conversations about 5G had just started..reports Asian Lite News

With the 5G auctions concluded and telcos all set with the network infrastructure, India is set to see 5G become a reality for the users. Once the services are rolled out, 5G is poised to bring a host of opportunities and drive greater use of smart technologies such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality, the internet of things and much more.

With all of these developments, technology brands have also prepared themselves for 5G, realme being one of the readiest brands with 5 million realme users already equipped with 5G-enabled smartphones.

realme was the first brand to introduce a 5G smartphone in India in 2020 when conversations about 5G had just started. The brand believed that users were ready for the advanced technology and should have easy access to it.

Over the last two years, realme has introduced 23 5G-enabled smartphones across price segments and directed all its efforts into being a 5G democratizer for the country. More than 50 per cent of realme’s portfolio is now 5G-enabled, with realme 9i 5G being one of the latest affordable 5G smartphones.

Not just that, realme took notice of all network bands that were being made available during the auctions and has ensured that its smartphones support all those bands so that no user faces a challenge while accepting the new technology.

realme reckons that 5G has the potential to bring the entire tech ecosystem together and therefore, has dedicated 90 per cent of its research and development efforts to 5G technologies and devices. The results of these investments can be seen as the brand is now also working towards equipping its AIoT devices with 5G – realme PAD X being the first one.

Moving forward, the brand has carved out a detailed plan to further its efforts in 5G and make it more accessible to premium as well as mass users. The brand is rolling out regular OTA updates to its products to make them 5G-ready and aims to have 80 per cent of the users 5G ready before 5G officially rolls out. Being committed to bringing the best 5G experience to its users and supporting global adoption of 5G products, realme plans to establish seven R&D centres worldwide, including one in India.

In order to encourage more users to opt for 5G smartphones, realme is currently providing massive discounts of up to Rs 15,000 on its smartphone range including 5G-enabled smartphones.

Users can enjoy realme 5G phones such as the realme 9i 5G and narzo 50 5G, starting from Rs 10,999 and the realme GT NEO 3T starting at Rs 22,999, among others. By next year, realme aims to expand its current 5G portfolio of 23 devices in India in 2023 and aims to launch 100 per cent 5G models for its Number series next year.

Realme on a mission to democratise 5G

The next step for realme is to build an ecosystem of completely connected products, enabling consumers to live a tech-empowered lifestyle to the fullest…reports Asian Lite News

5G, one of the most anticipated technology marvels in recent times, is almost at the threshold of deployment in India. The government of India has recently approved 5G spectrum auctions, which may lead to commercial roll-out in select cities from fourth quarter onwards, in the pilot phase.

The entire ecosystem has been working assiduously towards making 5G a reality with indigenous test beds, trials and demonstrations. realme, the Most Trusted Technology Brand (CMR) has played a key role as one of the global ambassadors of 5G, democratizing adoption of 5G-enabled smartphones in India and global markets.

realme aims to be 5G democratizer

Staying true to its �Dare to Leap’ spirit, realme brought India’s first 5G smartphone realme X50 Pro in 2020. With subsequent launches across a wide range of price-points, realme quickly became a 5G Democratizer, and led the 5G segment in the Rs 20K price tier with the highest ever shipments.

Leaders are defined by their ability to push the boundaries of innovation. realme entered the 5G segment when other brands were still reluctant to popularize 5G.

realme has had the maximum number of 5G launches with the introduction of 15 5G enabled smartphones to the market. Along with a versatile portfolio of products, realme consistently brought world-first or industry-first processors to deliver the best performance in the segment — whether it’s India’s first Dimensity 700 5G processor with realme 8 5G, the world’s first Dimensity 810 with realme 8s 5G, or the world-first Dimensity 920 5G in realme 9 Pro+ 5G.

realme’s efforts bore fruits with the brand emerging as the Fastest Growing major 5G Brand Globally in the fourth quarter 2021 with 165 per cent YoY growth.

realme is committed to bringing the benefits of 5G to lead a tech-empowered lifestyle

The next step for realme is to build an ecosystem of completely connected products, enabling consumers to live a tech-empowered lifestyle to the fullest. 5G with its high speed connectivity, ultra-low latency and high bandwidth and network coverage will give a huge fillip to the number of connected devices and fostering IoT (Internet of Things).

As such, it will have a transformative impact on consumers across various aspects – whether it’s media or entertainment, esports and gaming, smart home and more!

Commenting on the immense possibilities of 5G, Madhav Sheth, CEO-realme India, Vice President – realme and President – realme International Business Group said, “realme is a trendsetter brand and has led the direction in 5G development and adoption as well. We are always working towards bringing cutting-edge products and making users future-ready and have successfully carved a niche in creating much superior 5G experience for consumers. To achieve this, we have invested 90% of our research and development capabilities in 5G technology. This is just the beginning and we will continue to democratize 5G across our vast product portfolio in near future as well”.

Whether it is entry-level, mid-range or premium, realme’s continuous dedication to products with the best features has given it the advantage to leap forward and faster.

As realme gears up for its next chapter, sustainability will also play a critical role in the brand. 5G technology will not only bring vastly improved network performance but also a more sustainable future with smart living, transport, smart energy, leading to a greenhouse gas emission reduction strategy.
