Realme has started rolling out the Realme UI 2.0 early access update to three of its smartphones. Now, going forward, users of the Realme 5 Pro, Narzo 30A and Narzo 30 Pro will be eligible to try the next generation of Realme custom Android interface. The latter is presently based on Android 11, and the rollout of Android 12 is clearly quite some time into the future. As with every early access update, Realme has posted on its community forums that the update may not be ideally stable enough for usage in primary devices. The update may also be intermittently available, and Realme has stated that the Realme UI 2.0 early access channel will be “opened in batches with limited seats”.
How to apply for Realme UI 2.0 early access update
Before applying, there are a few things that a user needs to consider. The brief but important check list states:
- Ensure that all your necessary apps are updated to the latest version, and this is not your everyday usage smartphone
- Make sure that your phone has more than 5GB of available internal storage space
- Ensure that your Realme Narzo 30A, 30 Pro or Realme 5 Pro are charged to at least above 60 percent battery
Once this check list is cleared, proceed to download the Realme UI 2.0 update by using the following steps:
- Update your phone to the latest edition of Realme UI 1.0 on your phone, which should be ‘RMX2111PU_11.A.35’ or ‘RMX2111PU_11.A.37’ depending on your device and region
- Go to Settings, access Software update
- Here, tap on the Settings icon to the top-right, and tap on Trial version
- Tap on Realme UI 2.0 early access, which will show up if slots are available
- If it is, submit your phone number or email address linked to your Realme ID
- Agree to the Terms & Conditions, and tap on ‘Apply now’
- Once the ‘Success’ prompt is showed, tap on ‘Finish’
The Realme UI 2.0 early access rollout began with the Realme X50 Pro in September 2020, and the trio to get the update now are the latest and final batch to which the update is being rolled out. With this, preparations will begin to welcome Realme UI 3.0, which will be based on Android 12 and may therefore bring new UI features to the custom software.
