ColorOS 6 and Above Will Now Display Ads on Realme Smartphones

Realme is currently dominating the Indian smartphone market with back to back phone launches. At almost every launch event, Realme talks about Xiaomi because it’s the leading smartphone brand in the country right now. Back at the Realme 3 Pro launch event in India, Realme India CEO, Madhav Sheth, said that the company will not sell ads like Xiaomi. However, that isn’t the case anymore. Realme officially confirmed that it will place ads inside the system apps on smartphones running ColorOS 6 and above. Similar to Xiaomi, Realme also operates on very little profit margin when it comes to hardware and the move to place ads inside ColorOS will not surprise many.

Realme Smartphones Now Display Ads Inside System Apps

A couple of months ago, we spotted ads on the Realme 1 running ColorOS 6.0. Back then, Realme said that it was ‘Beta’ software and there’s no need to worry about. And now, the company has officially announced the Realme phones running ColorOS 6.0 or above will display ‘commercial content recommendations.’ Realme phones will display the content recommendations or ads in two places- the Phone Manager app and the Security Check page after an app gets downloaded from the Google Play Store.

That said, there are just two places which will show ads on Realme phones, but the list may get bigger over the period of time. Xiaomi also displays ads inside MIUI and there was a time when users even spotted ads in the Settings app. Xiaomi also shows ads in various in-built apps like Music, Video and on the App Valut page. Notably, Xiaomi is not placing ads inside the MIUI on Redmi K20 phones- the Redmi K20 and the Redmi K20 Pro. But Realme did not confirm anything as such and the company’s officials are silent on this aspect. If Realme shows ads even on the Realme X2 Pro, then it will be a deal breaker for a lot of people who purchased the device.
