According to the Android 12-based realme UI 3.0 update timeline shared by realme, a total of four devices are supposed to receive ‘Early Access’ builds in December 2021. As three of them have got the update in the past few days, the fourth and the last one, realme 8 Pro, also gets it now.
The realme 8 Pro is the first budget smartphone from realme to join the realme UI 3.0 Early Access program. According to the official announcement post on realme Community, the registrations for the initiative kickstarted on December 17.
In order to enroll in the program, users should be on firmware version RMX3081_11.C.09. If they are, then they need to go through Settings > Software Update > Gear Icon > Trial Version > Apply Now > Submit Details.
Selected applicants will receive the realme UI 3.0 (Android 12) Early Access build via OTA. If participants don’t get selected, then they can try their luck in the next round of recruitment.
Users have an option to roll back to the realme UI 2.0 (Android 11) stable channel if they are not satisfied with the new software. However, this process will erase the phone’s internal storage.
At present, it’s not known when realme 8 Pro will get access to the realme 3.0 stable update based on Android 12.
