Everything but the kitchen sink: Realme launches a ton of smart home products

---

Realme drew inspiration from Huawei, Samsung and Xiaomi for its entire product strategy and quickly expanded its presence in the smart home and IoT sector. Now the company in India has announced a lot of gadgets in this regard.

The most expensive device on the list is the 55-inch Realme Smart TV SLED 4K, which is available as a special offer for Rs 42,999 (~ $ 587) or Rs 39,999 (~ $ 546). This is being marketed as the world’s first SLED 4K smart TV, with SLED being touted by Realme as an alternative to QLED technology.

The brand previously claimed that SLED Tech uses a white backlight made up of RGB colors, as opposed to traditional LED and QLED TVs with a blue backlight that turns white. According to Realme, this allows for a wider color gamut (108% NTSC) and better eye protection than QLED and LED panels, but we have to put that claim to the test.

The Realme Smart TV SLED 4K also offers a MediaTek quad-core processor, Chroma Boost, 24 W quad stereo speakers, Android TV based on Android Pie and Chromecast support.

Do you need even better audio quality for your living room? Then the company also unveiled the Realme 100W soundbar for Rs 6,999 (~ $ 95), which includes two speakers, two tweeters, and a subwoofer.
