Li said that the Realme brand will focus on providing youth-oriented mobile phones that offer strong performance and stylish designs. “Young people across the globe may have different cellphone habits and aesthetic views but their demands are similar in terms of performance and design. With few options available in the market to meet the ever-changing customer demand, Realme is focusing on bridging the gap by providing products with the latest tech innovations along with strong performance and stylish designs. As Realme is targeting global market, we aspire to  inject fresh momentum into the global smartphone industry,” Li said in a statement. According to The Economic Times, Li wrote a letter to the Realme employees to introduce the new brand. “Before leaving Oppo officially, I've been in charge of OPPO's global overseas market during these past few years. The overwhelming response and trust from the young generation is something that has encouraged me to launch the new brand Realme,” Li wrote in the letter. The executive led Oppo to grow from the business available in three markets to one that covers 31 countries and regions, including Southeast Asia, South Asia, Middle East, Africa and Oceania. Oppo now ranks among the top three smartphone companies in several countries.
