    Chinese smartphone maker Realme has shipped over 200 million phones in just over five years, making it the fifth-fastest company to hit this milestone.

    Counterpoint Research data reveals that only Vivo, Huawei, Samsung, and Apple have reached this achievement in less time. Overall, just 14 companies worldwide have shipped over 200 million phones so far.

    Realme's Chief Marketing Officer, Xu Qi, said that the company has consistently ranked among the top 10 global brands during the past five years.

    Interestingly, Counterpoint Research data indicates that the number of phone brands has dropped from over 700 in 2017 to around 250 in September 2023.
