realme, TÜV Rheinland to deliver a new quality standard for smartphones

realme is set to offer more promising smartphones with topnotch quality and features, as it teamed up with the world-renowned authority in quality management, TÜV Rheinland.

Through this partnership, realme will be able to deliver smartphones with TÜV Rheinland Certification—a new quality standard for the mobile market.

The realme C25 and realme C21 are the first two smartphones to obtain this global certification, proving that the brand is staying true to its commitment to providing young consumers with high-quality handsets.

This allows the brand to pack its entry-level smartphones with flagship-like standards. In fact, this partnership enables them to improve the smartphone experience during its initial three-year life cycle.

Before a phone gets a TÜV Rheinland Certification, it should go through 23 major tests, including 10 daily use test scenarios, such as drop, wear, and tear; seven extreme environment test scenarios, including super extreme temperature, extreme humidity, voltage fluctuation, button life, static electricity, air pressure; and six component reliability test scenarios.

TÜV Rheinland also ran a 6-stage smartphone design process on how smartphones are designed, developed, and tested in realme’s facility.

To withstand accident drops in popular outdoor sports such as skateboarding and parkour, the devices have undergone more aggressive drop tests at a height up to 1.8 meters at multiple sides on different surface materials.

realme also simulated extreme temperature from negative 40 degrees Celsius to 75 degrees Celsius in an outdoor environmental setting to make sure all realme products can remain to function well.

So, who’s excited about the realme C25 and realme C21?
