"Our exploration to offer smarter TVs has just started, and we won't settle at these two sizes.

Realme is all set to start surface-mount technology (SMT) production in India for its affordable smart TVs, and is investing on a complete production line from basic components to panel assembling and SMT.
"For realme smartphones, we started our SMT assembling lines from day one and even invested Rs 300 crore towards eight new SMT lines during last Diwali season to meet the surge of consumer demands," informed Sheth.
