The Buds Q earpieces were designed by José Lévy, who has worked with brands such as Hermes. realme's world-class design studio has attracted top designers wordwide such as Naoto Fukasawa, Jose Levy and more. realme plans to bring more designers from the US, Japan, Korea and Europe to infuse their works through realme products for a global audience.
The smart audio market is a fast-evolving market, with new features such as 5G and AIoT being experimented with in new products. As such products become cheaper and more reliable, consumers are becoming open to relying on technology for their daily needs. "Accounting for more than half the market, wireless earphones are the most popular category in India, with all the top five players, including smartphone vendors Samsung, Realme and Xiaomi, shipping more wireless earphones than any other category in Q1," said Canalys Analyst Madhumita Chaudhary.
realme found success through deeply understanding their customers and being responsive to their needs. Recently, realme broke the record in selling smart TVs in India - they sold 15,000 smart TVs in just 10 minutes. realme has also announced their plan to release more than 50 AIoT products by the end of 2020 and more than 100 in 2021, to a global audience of more than 50 different countries and regions.
