Once a sub-brand originating from OPPO, realme has now grown big enough to create its own sub-brand. Dizo was first spotted earlier this month, with a couple of its products certified by the FCC. Now the company has confirmed its official debut date.

realme Malaysia has officially announced that the realstudio fashion brand is now established in Malaysia, which will focus on developing trendy clothing apparel for the masses. With that in mind, they’ve unveiled their first realHYPE collection at the price of RM99 which will be available for purchase in Malaysia via Shopee starting from 18 Jun 2021 onwards.

As rumoured, realme is planning to expand its product categories by launching its first laptop. Last month, the brand has released a survey by wanting to know if the customers are interested in buying a new laptop in the next three months. With that, we suspect that realme's first laptop is just around the corner. Until now, the CEO for realme India and Europe has finally dropped the first teaser regarding the product.

Calling all the realme fans! The ‘Reconnecting Talian Raya’ Mini Game's deadline has been extended until 14 June 2021. For those who haven't taken their chances in the mini-game, you still have the time to win prizes worth up to RM100,000 ranging from smartphones, Smart TV, AIOT devices to cash vouchers!

It's surprising to hear, but even a relatively new brand like realme already has a sub-brand. Dubbed Dizo, the new brand will allegedly have a focus on Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT). Two feature phones have also been spotted on the US FCC.

A few days ago, it was rumoured that realme is getting ready to launch more smartphones. Specifically, there is going to be one that is expected to come with the new Snapdragon 778 5G chipset. A reliable source also claimed that there would be a new model with the Snapdragon 870 chipset.

When a new Qualcomm chipset launches, you can bet that there will be smartphones powered by it. For the company's latest 5G chipset, Honor and realme are right in the mix with new devices. Now, you can expect at least two devices with the Snapdragon 778G.

According to XDA Developers, the Honor 50 series will feature the Snapdragon 778G. The company hasn't confirmed which models will feature the chipset, but expect there to be at least one variant with it. realme India CEO, Madhav Sheth, also confirms that the company will be using the new 6nm 5G chipset. In this case, the device is believed to be the realme Quicksilver.

In conjunction with the 5.5 Pesta Raya Deals that’s happening on Shopee on 5 May 2021 from 12AM onwards, get up to 54% off selected realme products such as wireless earbuds, IoT products and more. Not only that, but it will be the first online sale of the realme Motion Activated Night Light which comes equipped with 365-day battery life, Infrared Motion Detection, and more at only RM39.

Last time, we were tricked by realme as the brand released a teaser poster for its "upcoming laptop MeowBook" one day before April Fool's Day. Although it was just a prank, there's no denying it's possible for the smartphone manufacturer to venture into the laptop segment in the near future. Today, a new report has arrived saying that realme already started preparing for it by asking the public to fill up a laptop survey.
