Realme had a launch event in China today during which it unveiled its latest smartphone, the Realme GT Neo2. Apart from the phone, realme also announced when a new version of its UI, realme UI, will be unveiled.
realme UI was first announced in 2019 when Realme decided to drop OPPO’s ColorOS for its own custom UI. It followed it up with realme UI 2.0 in September 2020 which its phones currently run and is based on Android 11. Now that Android 12 is almost here, Realme is set to announce a new UI that will be based on the new version of Android.
As revealed at the event today, realme UI 3.0 will be announced in October and it will come with several new features. A specific date is yet to be disclosed but we may see the new UI make its debut on a new smartphone. Realme should also provide details about which devices will get updated to the new UI and when the update will arrive.
Considering that some Realme phones have just received the update to realme UI 2.0, it is safe to presume the rollout of realme UI 3.0 will continue up until the second half of 2022.
There are no details yet about the features realme UI 3.0 will bring but unconfirmed reports have said that realme UI 3.0 will be similar to OPPO’s ColorOS 12 which was announced last week. It remains to be seen if that will be the case.
There are also rumors that the manufacturer may ditch realme UI in the future and return to ColorOS. However, considering that OPPO and OnePlus will be dropping their respective custom UIs for a unified one next year, those rumors appear to be false.
