Realme is a Chinese smartphone manufacturer which was initially a project within popular Chinese brand Oppo. At the end of July 2018, some former Oppo employees resigned and started their own Realme brand. The first Realme 1 came in the market in May 2018. The global version of the phone was called Oppo F7 Youth. Previously, Oppo F5 Youth was released in December 2017 which was also available in Bangladesh. But after Realme became an individual entity, Oppo F5 Youth was not available anymore in the Bangladeshi market in Oppo showrooms and dealer locations.
