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

Original story (published on September 02, 2020) follows:

Realme is doing a pretty decent job when it comes to rolling out regular and timely updates to its devices. One would argue that the company is able to do this well due to its rather slim portfolio of devices and it being a very young OEM. Either way, Realme is doing well.

To continue with that trend, the company is today rolling out updates to a good number of its devices. These updates bring updated Android security patch levels and a ton of bug fixes. Let’s dig in.

First up are the Realme 5 devices that include the Realme 5, Realme 5s and Realme 5i. These devices are all getting the September update which brings the August 2020 security patch.

Along with the updated security patch level, this update also brings a ton of bug fixes and new features such as Super nighttime standby feature, Smooth scrolling and other system tweaks like long press to copy IMEI in the status information interface among others. Below is the common changelog.
