Realme introduced the Realme 8 5G in India a few days ago, and on the occasion of the launch, we spoke with Mr. Madhav Sheth – Vice President of Realme and CEO of Realme India and Europe – allowing us to learn more about the company’s ambitions for 2021, the success of the number series, plans for affordable laptops and tablets, and the positioning of the Realme 8 5G. You can read the interview below for all the details. Mr. Madhav Sheth – Vice President of Realme and CEO of Realme India and Europe Going purely by the specs, the 8 5G feels like a downgrade compared to the 7 5G – does that mean that it will be positioned differently, or should we be looking for upgrades on the software side? We didn’t launch Realme 7 5G in India, but yes, we launched in some other countries with commercialized 5G. The price is also far more affordable. If we accept that 5G is more about futureproofing than usefulness right now, can you commit to long-term software support for the 8 5G? Or any other incentives to make people keep the phone long enough so they can take advantage of its NR support? As a leading brand, Realme committed 2-year software support for Realme smartphones and is the only brand in the industry to push regular updates to assure the best experience every month.
