The forum post states that the timeline indicated is not the exact timeline, but the OTAs will be released around the same time. Every rollout will be done in a phase-wise manner, which means that it may take up to a week for all devices to receive the OTA update. The brand mentions that it has opted for a phase-wise manner to ensure that no bugs have been ignored and if a bug is found then not all the devices will be impacted at once, thanks to staged rollout. The post also states that Realme will be posting links for manual download. It also reveals that the upcoming updates are not the major ones and that the major updates are currently in works.
According to the community post, the Realme U1 will get the update sometime in the middle of January 2019 with Android security patch, new camera watermark design featuring the brand’s new logo, optimized reminders whenever Developer Options, Accessibility Mode, and Device Manager are enabled.
