The realme GT NEO 2 is now receiving the Android 12-based realme UI 3.0 update in China with a bunch of new features. The phone is a recent launch and shipped with realme UI 2.0 based on Android 11 out of the box.
realme UI 3.0 is a fairly major update integrating multiple Android 12-specific features into the skin such as dynamic wallpaper-based theming, the new Privacy Dashboard, and mic and camera status bar indicators. These are topped with realme optimizations such as AI Smooth Engine for better animations and system performance and Floating Window 2.0.
The official update changelog was frankly a bit too long so we cut it down a bit, showing only the important parts:
Design
- [New] Smart assistant card, providing smart and efficient application cards, key information is clear at a glance, and key functions can be reached at a touch
- [New] Reconstructed page layout, noise reduction and white space, and differentiated primary and secondary information by color, and the core information is more focused
- [New] Three-dimensional icon design, introducing new materials, unifying light and shadow and layers, and experiencing the joy of color
- [Optimization] Quantum animation engine 3.0, centered on “quality”, simulates real physical motion, optimizes 300+ animation details, and brings a more natural interactive experience
- [Optimization] Richer screen styles, support for real strange cats, and portrait painting AOD, make self-expression more unique
Performance optimization
- [New] Intelligently predict frequently used applications and load them in advance, the application opens faster
- [New] Display the power consumption record in the form of graphs to quickly understand the details of battery consumption
- [Optimized] When switching WLAN, Bluetooth, airplane mode, NFC, the response speed is faster
- [Optimization] The loading speed of high-frequency scenes of third-party applications is improved, and browsing Weibo and watching videos is more enjoyable
System

Obviously, the changelog for the global variant of the realme GT NEO 2 will look a lot different. The update should take a while to reach outside China, though, since a realme official said that the complete rollout in China may take up to 15 days (via IT Home). It is likely that the global release will only start afterward.
