Back in 2018, Realme was launched as an Oppo sub-brand, and it became independent later that year. At the beginning of this month, it was reported that Realme will soon return as a sub-brand of Oppo due to a major internal restructuring within the former BBK Electronics ecosystem. This move was said to strengthen coordination between Oppo, Realme, and OnePlus.
Well, Realme products are now made available on the Oppo online store in China.
Devices listed include:
Smartphone
Neo series
- Realme Neo 8
- Realme Neo 7 Turbo
GT series
- Realme GT 8 Pro
- Realme GT 8
- Realme GT 7
Number series
- Realme 15T
- Realme 15/ 15 Pro
V series
- Realme V70s
- Realme V70
Earphone
- Realme Buds Air 8
- Realme Buds Air 7 Pro
This new strategy will not affect Realme’s product plans or leadership continuity for markets worldwide, while the devices in development will also continue as planned under existing roadmaps.
Reportedly, Realme founder and CEO Sky Li will continue to oversee the brand and report within the Oppo framework. Realme’s offline service network will integrate with Oppo. It is said that there are more than 5000 Realme service centres in China, and most of them will be merged into Oppo, and the remaining will be removed.
