he sounds like hes not in tune with what people actually want...which means he's disconnected from the real consumers on the ground , which also means he's just following the other brands and what they offer and he offers pretty much the same...long story short , he sounds lucky to have an actual job..

Anonymous, 25 Apr 2021Not much of an interview, more like a FAQ.More like pure PR. I'm pretty sure GSMarena sends the interview questions to Realme's PR team and they pick the question they would like Madhav Sheth to answer (or rather, to sign the answers that PR teams creates for him).
What an absolute waste of an article really.

The Android Freak, 25 Apr 2021Don't buy Realme products for the time being. They are... moreYes, same advice here, Im not sure why they would release the Realme 8 series prices too close to Realme X7 pro and GT Neo, which has more superior specs. I think they would like to trick other consumers that they are getting more with lesser price.
Realme should be thinking about this strategy as their fan base is starting to shrink in India and the Philippines.

Lying shamelessly is first rule of being a CEO.
They asks: Realme 7 5G has dimensity 800U, why Realme 8 5G has 700.
Answer: You can use your Rom storage as RAM...
Which increases performance...
Truth: No, it doesnt.
First of all phones has been downgraded from a low-mid level processor to Low-level processor.
Weak gpu became weaker, slow CPU became slower.
Of course RAM usage also becomes lower.
But you cant sell this as an upgrade.
There is now way to understand Mediatek's SoC policy.
Dimensity 1000 and 1200 has powerful GPU which is Mali g77 mc9
But 800 and 700 weakest ones g57 mc2 and mc3.
There is huge difference between these groups...

Useless interview, X2 pro was the last and only amazing phone, they cant compete whit Xiaomi anymore,the software updates are insanely slow,bad decisions in hardware.
No innovation on they products, just a bad copy paste.
But at least they don't make hot potatoes phones like xiaomi, they really made a nice work in power management/max temps on the flagship line.

I may be buying a Realme 8 Pro in Punk Blank next week. It does not have the "Dare to Leap" on the back this color. If I buy it, I will make the the sign of the cross with two fingers of my hand towards the box before I open it. Lest they make a mistake and send me the other black one with the slogan. I am reading comments on the Realme updates though. Does anyone know about this issue if they update a lot or a little? Bugs? Because I think the Redmi or Xiaomi or POco are worse.... I would like to buy a phone with 108 megapixels of photography and with decent zoom even if digital and with a clean system almost stock android.

Alpha, 25 Apr 2021Instead of working on providing stable Android 11 as early ... moreYou're completely right. I used the Realme 7 pro for less than a month what a complete garbage it was the L1 certification was goes down to L3 which i complaint about and they said they will fix this in Andriod 11 which is still not available for the 7 pro. The display of the phone was third class.The front camera was a complete mess picture bleeding issues which are still not fixed by realme. They are just launching phones like cupcakes.

Instead of working on providing stable Android 11 as early as possible to their phones and instead of fixing many existing issues with their trash UI called Realme UI, I think this guy is only interested in showing up in front of cameras with what looks like a fake smile and trying to promote more of their garbage products. What a sad, low class company

Realme is a garbage brand now. I have X2 Pro and still no Android 11 update. Their Realme UI is one of the worst. It has performance issues, bugs, battery backup issue, low sound issue etc and they are least bothered about fixing them even after a long time. Even color OS previously was far better. I'll stay away from this brand going forward

All their phones are just disappointing in one way or another. as soon as they exceed 300 USD, they remove the SDslot and Headphone jack and when they are under 300 USD they use EXTRA low end Chips on their phones. yet they have to gull to charge as much as Redmi with their ugly branding on the back of the phones. "Dare to leap"...yes i dare! I have already leaped from Realme to Redmi.

AnonD-994147, 25 Apr 2021Why there aren't any other CEO's interviews in here? It's not that easy to get the CEO to interview, I guess Realme is the only one of the major phone brands that uses their CEO mostly for PR (since the brand is mostly targeted at Indians).
Pointless PR interview as always, this is a tech site where people actually understand phones so I'm not sure what they are trying to achieve here. Compare Realme 8 Pro and Redmi Note 10 Pro, really shows how Realme as whole went down the toilet.

Talk about trash ... He is one of the reason why realme so messed up with their lineups ..
All he care about is to capture the market share in less time as possible.. this kind of ceo is not someone who wants to build the brand image at all..he just want to achieve personal goal.

As long as you don't stop putting the "Dare to Leap" on the back of the Realme I'm not going to spend 300 Euros or more for you to eat seafood. Not on my dime. Unless you paint "Dare to Leap" with high lead paint on every shrimp, prawn or mussel.
