Realme Explains Why It's Adding Ads to Its Smartphones
"Nosotros sell phones. We don't sell ads." Well, Realme Bharat CEO Madhav Sheth made this sly remark confronting Xiaomi'due south MIUI pare at the Realme 3 Pro launch concluding year. Still, if you have been keeping track, you lot would know that Realme has at present itself decided to introduce ads into ColorOS (now rebranded to Realme UI, based on ColorOS) on their smartphones.
Sheth has at present walked back on his statement from the same launch and if it's whatever alleviation, he has now offered an explanation as to why your Realme phone will testify ads going forwards. In the latest #AskMadhav episode, attached below, the first questions posed to Sheth is – "Why is Realme introducing ads on its phones?"
Well, the answer is simple and exactly what you might take expected. Sheth states that Realme needs to 'run a sustainable business concern' while still offering a loftier-quality production at competitive prices. "We are continuously trying to make our products affordable for yous guys," he adds and it looks similar the ads are essential for staying competitive in the uber-competitive budget segment in India.
Ads in Realme UI are one of the revenue streams that will add to the company's profits while information technology continues to offer its smartphone at cut-throat prices. Realme is offer users a "I Tap Solution" to disable ads across the UI and Sheth continues to add that, "If yous check and compare, we are very conservative and selective about ads placements. Our margin here is however far below from some other brands."
Though Realme has backtracked on its previous statement to not introduce ads on its smartphones, it is sort-of unavoidable for these brands due to reduced margins and cut-throat rivalry among upkeep players in India. I know, we as users will have to suffer the consequences of this move but the task of keeping its ads unintrusive and restricted to a few select locations in the UI falls on the company.
