Realme 5 launched last year as the first quad-camera smartphone under ₹10,000 in India. The phone was soon succeeded by Realme 5s with a 48MP primary sensor, thanks to tough competition from Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 8. These phones came with ColorOS 6 based on Android Pie but the handsets made the list of eligible devices for Realme UI. Hence, they are now finally receiving a stable update for the same as promised.
According to the Realme UI update timeline shared by the company, Realme 5/5s were supposed to get the update in May. Keeping up with its word, the brand started rolling out the OTA update from May 29.
Realme 5 and 5s run the same firmware since their internals are identical except for the primary camera. Therefore, the Realm UI update for these phones comes with the same build number, which happens to be RMX1925EX_11_C.39.
For the unaware, Realme UI is a fork of ColorOS 7 based on Android 10. Hence, both the Android skin looks familiar and features common design and features. That said, Realme UI does have different visuals here and there to differentiate it from the Oppo skin.
Anyway, just like any other OTA update, the Realme UI stable update for Realme 5/5s is being rolled out in batches and thus, will take time to reach every unit.
