Realme announced on Saturday that it is rolling out Android 10 based Realme UI for its Realme X2 and the Realme X2 Pro devices. The company said that the update will be rolled out in batches and that users need to be on the latest update to receive the Realme UI. The company released the midrange Realme X2 and its budget premium sibling Realme X2 Pro in 2019 with both phones running Oppo’s Android 9 based ColorOS 6.1. The Realme X2 was powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G chipset, 64MP rear quad camera, up to 8GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. The Realme X2 Pro was bumped up to Snapdragon 855 chipset, up to 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB storage.

Realme UI to Get More Users
Despite being a sub-brand of Oppo, Realme devices ran Oppo’s ColorOS and the Realme X2 and the Realme X2 Pro were no exception. However, Realme UI will now receive more users onboard as the Realme X2 and its Pro series phones will be updated to the Android 10 based Realme UI.
Despite some visual changes, it has to be noted that the Android 10 based Realme UI is still largely similar to Oppo’s ColorOS 7. While an Realme user should be hoping that the future updates bring more uniqueness to the Realme UI, the Android 10 based update would certainly be a step-up. With the update, Realme has said that the users can expect an improvement to one-handed operation and optimized user interface. Realme has also optimized the floating window feature for more apps and users can now drag an app out of the smart sidebar to open it in split-screen mode.
