This story is being continuously updated…. New updates are being added at the bottom…..

Original story (published on June 24) follows:

Android 10 has been out officially since September 2019. Since then, many devices from various OEMs have received the update, many in the form of their respective OEM’s skinned version of Android 10.

Realme, like many other Chinese OEMs, has been at the forefront in terms of pushing out its skinned version of Android 10, Realme UI, to its list of eligible devices. Today, the company adds one more device to that list.

The Realme 2 Pro, launched back in 2018, has seen quite a bit of love from the company in terms of updates. Most recently, we saw the Realme UI Beta that brought with it a bunch of fixes and the June 2020 security patch. More on that here.
