realme ends August FanFest by topping both IDC and Canalys rankings
realme continues its reign as the country’s best-selling smartphone brand. According to the most recent sell-in report of research analyst firm International Data Corporation or IDC, the realme brand is now on its sixth consecutive quarter of being number one in the Philippines, with a 21.8% total market share.
Further cementing its position in the Philippine market is the Canalys sell-in report as of August 2022, which lists realme Philippines as the number one smartphone brand for Q2 2022, with a total unit share of 20% across all vendors present.
“Despite the global decline in smartphone shipments this year, realme Philippines stands strong in the face of adversity,” announces Austine Huang, VP for Marketing.
“We are backed by our Filipino customer base, and in return we commit to offer them stylish, quality smartphones and TechLife products at fair, competitive prices. realme remains loyal to its fans, and we’re glad that this back-to-back Number One announcement from IDC and Canalys coincided with the realme FanFest 2022 celebration.”
The realme FanFest 2022 was a month-long campaign guided by the #DareToBeYou movement, realme’s rallying call for the Filipino youth to embrace their true selves and pursue their inner passions. It expanded realme’s affinity to four key pillars relevant in today’s digital landscape: Sports, Content Creation, Entertainment, and Entrepreneurship.
The celebration culminated in a free concert night featuring local talent and sought-after Pinoy Pop groups at the realme Music Festival. Young artists such as 6ense, Top Class Five, The Juans, Zack Tabudlo, and the latest addition to realme’s lineup of brand ambassadors, VXON, performed their best hits and dance moves for avid fans and the entire realme Squad last August 26 at SM Megamall.
