IST 11:23 am: Realme has just made public its Android 12-based realme UI 3.0 Early access roadmap, outlining when its devices will get early, pre-stable builds. Along with this announcement, the company adds that early access begins this October.
IST 11:52 am: Realme has just unveiled Realme UI 3.0 based on Android 12. Now, it is coming to light that the Realme GT 5G is getting Android 12 closed beta in China. IST 11:52 am: Android 12 is slowly but surely becoming a thing and more and more OEMs are beginning to make decent steps towards a stable release. This, as Realme has confirmed that Realme UI 3.0 based on Android 12 will be launched then. IST 11:35 am: October 13 is the date to save.
IST 10:32 am: In the official announcement of the release of Android 12 AOSP, Google goes on to note that devices from various OEMs including Realme, should start getting the Android 12 update later this year. The company hasn’t divulged the timeline yet. IST 04:56 pm Realme has finally announced that Realme UI 3.0 based on Android 12 will be coming soon. IST 11:45 am New reports now suggest that Android 12-based Realme UI 3.0 is coming to eligible devices starting in October. This may sound disappointing to other devices as users were expecting at least one device that is globally available. Realme GT Neo has been picked up as the device for this year’s program.
IST 10:45 am Realme only has a single China-specific device geared up for Android 12 program this year. Although, that’s hard to speculate and we’ll have to wait for the company to share its plans later on in the year. Other eligible smartphones from Realme will soon get the Realme UI 3.0 beta/stable update based on Android 12 in the following months. After a couple of months of testing, the company may release the stable update as well. Once the stable update goes live for the Pixels, it’s likely that Realme will open up the Realme UI 3.0 Early Access program for the flagship device it will be launching this year. Hence, we can expect to see a similar release schedule this year.Īccording to the Android 12 release schedule from Google, the stable Android 12 update will go live towards the tail-end of August or in early September, which was the case with Android 11. Last year, Realme rolled out the Android 11 beta update for the Realme X50 Pro at the beginning of July. Since Realme does not have a clear-cut policy for software updates, it’s hard to say which devices will get the upcoming Android 12 update.Īlthough taking into account past trends, we’ve come up with a list of phones from Realme that may be eligible for the Realme UI 3.0 update based on Android 12.
Like last year, we expect Realme to be one of the first OEMs to offer the Android 12 update with its Realme UI 3.0 skin for its flagship smartphone for 2021.Īnd the company will later push the update to other models that came with Android 10 or later pre-installed as it tends to release 2 major OS updates to most devices from its portfolio excluding some budget-friendly options. That said, Android 11 isn’t the only new kid on the block anymore since Google recently announced the release of the Android 12 Developer Preview for the Pixels.Īndroid 12 is expected to bring a bunch of new features, some of which are already present in the Developer Preview, however, we’ll have to wait a few months before Google unveils all of it. The stable update has only been released for the Realme X50 Pro and Realme X50 Pro Player Edition.Īlthough recent developments indicated that the company will be rolling out Realme UI 2.0 based on Android 11 for the Realme X2 Pro as well as the Realme 7 Pro in March. Realme has been doing a decent job at getting the Android 11 update to some of its devices, albeit in beta form.
