Realme has posted a set of prerequisites that must be ensured before a Realme 9 Pro user updates his/her device to Android 13 Open Beta. The company has advised users to ensure at least 5GB of internal storage is free otherwise there will be a risk of update failure. Also, before starting with the installation procedure, Realme 9 Pro users must ensure that the battery level on their device is at least 60%.

Also, in order to install the Realme 9 Pro Android 13 Open Beta update, the device must not be rooted. The brand has also advised users to take a backup of important personal data before proceeding with the installation. Also, it is worth noting that this is Open Beta firmware, so the battery life, as well as performance, might not be as good as regular stable builds.

Post updating the Realme 9 Pro to Android 13 Open Beta, users will not be able to access file directories, even with Realme File Manager. This is an Android 13 feature that Google introduced in order to protect user data security and privacy.

Realme is also allowing users to downgrade to Android 12-based Realme UI 3.0, but it will require a clean flash and users will have to take a full backup of their data. Also, users downgrading to Android 12 will not be eligible to apply for the Open Beta program for Realme 9 Pro.
