Realme recently rolled out an early access programme for its Android 10 based Realme UI for its Realme 2 Pro. The phone has now started receiving Android update with Realme UI based on Android 10. The Realme 2 Pro was launched back in September 2018 with ColorOS 5.2 on top of Android 8.1 Oreo and it later received ColorOS 6 update with Android 9 Pie last year.
The update is only rolled out for the Realme 2 Pro for beta participants as well as regular users. The Android 10 update comes with version number RMX1801EX_11.F.07. You need to be on version C.31 (latest version) to receive this update.
As per the official community forum, the update is now being rolled out in a staged manner. It will be randomly pushed to a limited number of users and will have a broader rollout in the coming days after making sure there are no critical bugs. If no critical bugs are found, the full rollout will be completed in the upcoming days.
You can check the availability of the Realme UI update on your Realme 2 Pro by going to the Settings menu.
Realme notes that after the upgrade, in order to improve the system operation efficiency and eliminate potential safety risks, the system will perform a series of actions such as application adaptation, background optimization and security scanning. so, the system will occupy more CPU, memory and other resources, which may cause slight hanging and faster power consumption.
The company suggests that you can leave it for 5 hours after the phone is fully charged or use the mobile phone for 3 days normally, then your device will get back to normal.
The update brings optimized system-wide gestures, improved privacy controls, Digital Wellbeing, Navigation Gestures, Focus Mode, new charging animation. There’s also the Smart Sidebar, optimized screenshot gesture, Realme Share feature, new live wallpapers, a dynamic Weather ringtone, a Simple Mode and various camera-focussed optimisations.
