i android eu: Realme hints at big TV announcement coming to Mobile World Congress

Realme has been releasing a steady stream of highly-regarded smartphones (and some mobile accessories) for just under two years now. It appears the company is ready to expand its portfolio significantly in 2020, and a Realme TV could be one of the first new products we see (via GizmoChina).

Francis Wang, the CMO of Realme Mobiles, posted to Twitter hinting that a Realme TV is in the works and will likely launch at Mobile World Congress 2020. Although he doesn’t come out and directly say it, we’re pretty confident that’s what he means in the tweet.

U gonna hear something exciting abt TV on MWC! #realmeForEveryIndian

Realme is a sub-brand of BBK, which also oversees Oppo, Vivo, and OnePlus. The OnePlus TV landed in 2019, so it’s possible the Realme TV will take some inspiration from the design and features of that device.

Since Realme focuses predominantly on the Indian market and Wang includes a “#realmeForEveryIndian” hashtag, it’s a good bet that this Realme TV, if it does exist, will be mostly focused on Indian consumers.

Outside of the Realme TV, we also expect the company to launch fitness bands and possibly even a smartwatch at some point this year.
