Realme on Monday revealed that it has sold over 10 lakh smartphone units during Flipkart Big Billion Days sale that was held last week. The company, which started its journey as a subsidiary of Oppo but recently became a separate entity, also announced that the Realme C1 reached the milestone of selling 1,10,000 devices in one second during the Flipkart sale. The Realme 2, on the other hand, is touted to have achieved 10 lakh units sold in 40 days since its launch in late August. With the new records, Realme claims to have emerged as the number two smartphone — behind Xiaomi — brand on Flipkart during the sale that concluded on Sunday.

Alongside the new numbers, Realme announced that its devices will now be available for purchase in the country in the third week of October during the next round of Flipkart’s sales. This also reveals that the online marketplace is in plans to host its next sale in the coming days.

In a press statement, Realme India Chief Executive Officer Madhav Sheth said that the company was overwhelmed with the response from customers during its first ever participation in Flipkart's Big Billion Days sale. "Realme has secured No. 2 position on Flipkart but still we think we underestimated the love and expectations our fans have shown. I'm also happy to announce that Realme 2 has even crossed 1 million sales in just 40 days and even now ranked the highest rating in 10K segment. I'm proud to say there is truly a Realme for every Indian," Sheth said.

"Realme has been a significant contributor to Big Billion Days sales and has also been one of the fastest selling brands. The Big Billion Days, 2018, has seen the biggest smartphone sellout in the history of smartphone retail industry and we're poised to continue this success throughout the festive season," said Ayyappan Rajagopal, Senior Director, Smartphones, Flipkart, in the statement.
