New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on December 29, 2020) follows:
Realme, following its Realme UI 2.0 (Android 11) roadmap, has already started the deployment of the major OS update.
The company has so far remained true to its words as Realme devices that were scheduled to get the Realme UI 2.0 update have already started receiving it.
After a series of contradicting events from the Twitter handle of Realme India Support, the Realme UI 2.0 (Android 11) has begun rolling out in line with the proposed timeline. These devices are Realme X2 Pro, Realme 6 Pro, and the Realme 7.
The Realme Community admin, in a series of posts, has announced an Early Access program for these devices.
A user has to go through an application that is in the form of Google forms before bagging the update. Notably, this update is only going to be available for a limited set of users, primarily on a first-in-first-out basis.
The application channels have gone live and in case you are a user of any one of these devices, you should head to the google form and register yourself to get the first taste of the Realme UI 2.0.

Realme, with this program, aims to provide users with the first look at Realme UI 2.0 on their devices. The stable version of the skin will be released after it is stable enough and therefore, may take some time.
As this version still requires polishing, users may expect bugs and issues after installing these builds. There’s a feedback channel in place where bug reports can be lodged.
We saw Realme increasing the Early Access quota to invite more Realme 7 Pro users. For what it’s worth, the same could be expected for these devices as well in the near future.
As for Narzo 20 Pro, it remains unclear as the announcement hasn’t been made yet. Having been scheduled for this month, an imminent rollout is expected.
