New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on January 31, 2020) follows:
Realme is now gearing up for the launch of new devices at the MWC (Mobile World Congress) event which will happen in Barcelona, Spain in February.
But, one thing that has kept all the OEMs pretty occupied from the past couple of months, is the rollout of the Android 10 update for their devices. In fact, Realme is also rolling out the new and improved Realme UI along with the Android 10 update.
Realme UI is the new custom skin that Realme is going ahead with instead of the ColorOS. It brings an overhaul change to the design elements and some other new features.
Realme 3 Pro and Realme XT started receiving the stable Realme UI 1.0 update based on Android 10 a while ago. And if you own any of either two devices, then you can upgrade your device to Realme UI with Android 10 right away by following the manual installation steps mentioned below.
Previously, we have reported earlier that Realme XT is grabbed the Android 10 update with Realme UI on top and also gave you the link to download the update package file.
Moreover, Realme 3 Pro Android 10 (Realme UI) update was first rolled out back on 17 January and was re-released a few days ago bringing in bug fixes for the camera and other issues.
Although both were compiled on the same day, the previous updates couldn’t be installed by many users (probably due to IMEI whitelisting). Matter of fact, updates for both the devices were allegedly postponed citing technical reasons.
Then yesterday we have reported that CEO Madhav Seth confirmed that the updates will be pushed for Realme XT and 3 Pro according to IMEI registration.
And now, the wait is finally over as the Realme UI Android 10 based updates for both Realme XT and Realme 3 Pro is available via official sources. You can grab the update from the below section:
