Realme has launched a slew of AIoT products ranging from new smartwatches to a smart robot vacuum cleaner while simultaneously announcing that it is set to enter two new product categories, laptops and tablets, soon. This is part of the Oppo spin-off brand’s all-new “1+5+T” strategy which is said to be an evolved version of its previous “1+4+N” strategy even as Realme expands further into the global AIoT space.
At its first international launch event of the year, held virtually on Tuesday, Realme took the wraps off the Realme Watch 2 Pro, Watch 2, and Robot Vacuum. The flagship Realme GT with Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC was also launched during the same keynote. At the same time, the brand announced that it is working on its first laptop, the Realme Book, and tablet, the Realme Pad, both set to arrive in the coming months. All the announcements were with regards to the European market. Realme usually brings many of its products to India, and therefore, it is highly likely that we will hear about them soon enough.

Realme Book, Realme Pad
Realme is only sharing a “sneak peek” of its first laptop and tablet for now. All the other details including specs and possible pricing remain a secret. The Realme Book design, shared by the brand, looks a lot like the MacBook but it seems this may not be the final version as Realme has simultaneously announced a co-creation programme for fans to create the Realme Book together. More details are awaited.
