Exclusive: Realme GT 5G series price to start at around Rs 30,000, company wants it to be next flagship killer

Realme GT 5G collection will begin at roughly Rs 30,000 in India, Realme India and Europe CEO, Madhav Sheth instructed India At present Tech.

Speaking solely to India At present Tech, Sheth identified that the corporate needs to disrupt the premium section of smartphones in India with the brand new GT collection. “Realme GT collection will probably be crafted to be the final word flagship killer,” stated Sheth.

The teasers for the upcoming GT collection’ launch in India level at 4 fashions: the GT 5G, the GT Neo, the GT Grasp Version, and the GT Grasp Explorer Version, which, the corporate thinks, collectively, will probably be India’s subsequent flagship killer vary. Now, the phrase flagship killer, loosely coined by sister model OnePlus, is overused, however what it means is a telephone that undercuts the bigwigs like Samsung Galaxy S21 or the iPhone 12.

The GT collection is the corporate’s most formidable telephone ever. It brings the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset and a design that can remind you of the Ford GT supercars, due to the enticing design. However greater than something, I’m betting on the worth as a result of, for Realme, it’s a matter of undercutting not simply the bigwigs but in addition fans like Xiaomi and Poco which are inundating the premium telephone market with choices reminiscent of Mi 11X 5G and the Poco F3 GT.

In response to Sheth, Realme values buyer satisfaction greater than the prevailing competitors however, on the identical time, it doesn’t negate the truth that “competitors is all the time useful for the shoppers, as they get extra choices to select from for his or her diverse wants.” That could be a good spirit to deal with your competitors head-on, regardless of figuring out that prospects will probably be arduous to persuade until Realme goes the additional mile.

A technique to do this is to make the GT collection abundantly accessible as a result of prospects had been actually infuriated with how Xiaomi delayed the Mi 11 Extremely’s launch and made it restricted later. Sheth didn’t inform me how the corporate will handle gross sales of the GT collection as and when it arrives this quarter, however he hinted that the GT collection will probably be a “new leap on this route”.
