[deleted post]I simply think he is only concerned about image, his image. In this photo you can see him showing off getting out of his car. People like that who look out more for themselves than for the company they represent are the ones who make a company go bankrupt.

    SShreyas, 25 Apr 2021Lol. Brother, Nokia is long dead only because of its pric... morePricing is high because they do not take money and put ads in OS to reduce the price tag.

    UI is clean and simple.

    Agreed Nokia is not a market leader in terms of numbers but those who trust and believe in pure Android, go for Pixel or Nokia ( next being Motorola).

    They are way better than these BBK products. Only those who love flashy and useless UI buy them.
    Probably you don't know but VIVO ( sister/brother of Realme) was found using same IMEI numbers for nearly 1000+ phones.

      Anonymous, 25 Apr 2021Just do it! Max Air."Just do it" slogan, it´s inspired by the last words of a murderer before he was executed (Gary Gilmore). But it´s not in all Nike shoes by the way.

            Realme it´s losing sales because this slogan. Redmi use to write in the rear of phones the brand name but with stylish and nice look!. I want to buy the Realme 8 Pro, but in the "Punk Black" version because that's the only one that doesn't have that slogan. I liked the "Infinite Black" color better but I can't because of the slogan. In a world with a worldwide economic crisis because of the virus, for you to do this, to put impediments to a potential buyer is something of incompetent people in their job. Bring out mobiles with flat matte colors like Samsung, especially white which sells very well, black and pastel colors. The spirit of a company is NOT in its slogans, but in listening to its buyers. You guys have a "Dare to lead" slogan campaign and the forums are full of people complaining about that "slogan" on the back of the phones. Don't be like Google Pixel who does whatever they want regardless of sales. If you want to be classy, just build the phones so they don't look like a Halloween fair.
            By the way. If you believe in the slogan so much, why don't you appear in the photo with the slogan on your forehead. Walk down the street with the slogan on the street. Why don't you? Because it would look tacky and horrible. That's what you're doing to the people who buy your phones with that slogan on the back, making them feel ridiculous.

              Mr. Madhav Sheth, In Europe we do not have a child mentality for you to insult us by going with phones with a giant slogan on the back that maybe identifies you as a company but not the personality of the buyer, you are not NIKE, not ADIDAS, where the brand name is nice and they do not have slogans!. The most expensive cars in the market you hardly see their brand names. Be stylish. I don't think they are kids in India either. That might work for you in countries like China, not because they are kids, but because of another issue where they like to go with brand names identifying the products. Realme is losing a lot of sales in Europe simply because you put a giant slogan on the back

                Gonna get caught using an iPhone again? Already the Narzo 30A launch demo showing game features (playing PUBG Mobile) turns out the players are caught using an iPhone after people noticed an iOS accessibility feature. Pointless company just like Xiaomi.

                    -GSMArnea: "What are Realme's ambitions for 2021 - in terms of product lineup and market share? Any specific goals that you have set beyond continuing your impressive growth?".

                        Very disappointed. Why didn't you ask him about the tacky 'Dare to Leap' branding?

                          Don't buy Realme products for the time being. They are launching one after another and that too overpriced products. Realme 7 Pro and Realme X2 Pro are best devices to buy right now. Get them. If you have money. Otherwise avoid every other device. Wait for Realme GT under 450USD. Otherwise don't buy anything else. Realme should launch snapdragon 860/870 powered devices under 350USD.

                            sq2013, 25 Apr 2021I think that they should just give up really. Xiaomi or Poc... moreThey seem to be doing well sales wise. A 463% rise in sales in q1 2021 in the Chinese market. Phones like the Realme gt and gt neo seem to be doing well with the gt neo undercutting the Redmi k40 in price

                              I bet they gonna put their big ass tag line on the back of their laptops and tablets

                                Brother, Nokia is long dead only because of its pricing and useless UI. And everyone in the world has witnessed the failure of "Android One" devices. Be it Nokia, Xiaomi's A series, Essential Phone or even Pixel (thought it wasn't Android One based, still was comparable). There is actually no need of monthly updates. Quarterly and stable ones are better

Only Samsung and Google are giving 3 years of software updates and 4 years of security updates. Apple gives 5 to 6 years of software support.

                                      I guess this "DRE" existed long before also with some Rhoesoft product. Why on earth are they hyping about half a decade old tech?
