Realme Philippines already has many partner stores nationwide, but it doesn’t have any of its own just yet. Well, that’s going to change soon.

The company has announced that the first Realme concept kiosk — located at SM City North EDSA in Quezon City — will open to the public on February 16. To mark the occasion, it’s inviting the OPPO sub-brand’s fans to drop by the kiosk this weekend.

What’s more, if you buy the Realme C1 there either on the 16th or 17th, you get a chance to get freebies. The trick is to line up early. Why? Because only the first 100 consumers every day from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on those two dates are eligible. Here’s how it’s going to work:

• First 10 buyers: Free Realme Tech Backpack worth P1,499 or about $29), Realme Earbuds valued P399 or $8, and a Bluetooth headset or a power bank
• 11th to 15th buyers: Free Realme Earbuds and a Bluetooth headset or a power bank
• 16th to 100th buyers: Bluetooth headset or power bank

We’re confident that the official kiosk at SM North EDSA is just one of the many authorized shops Realme is opening in the country. After all, having an offline presence in the Philippines is still key to a smartphone brand’s success here.
