After several months on the Early Access programme announced back in March 2022, Realme has announced on its community forum that the brand finally rolled out the Realme UI 3.0 x Android 12 update for more Realme 8i users via the Open Beta programme starting from 27th May.

Unlike the Early Access programme, the Open Beta has no 1000 user limit, meaning that there is no limit to how many Realme 8i users can apply for the Realme UI 3.0 x Android 12 Open Beta. Also, Realme has noted that the latest Open Beta version will be chosen as the stable version and rolled out to all users (after the Open Beta programme ends). There is no difference if you have already joined the Open Beta program.

If you are a Realme 8i user yourself and are interested to join the programme, follow the steps as follows:

  1. Make sure you are updated to the required version: RMX3151_11.A.41
  2. Apply for the Open Beta via the Software Update Application channel: (Settings > Software Update > Tap on the settings icon in the top right corner > Trial Version > Submit your details > Apply Now).
  3. You will receive the latest update if the application passes the review.

Realme notes several common issues it received from users after the Android 12 upgrade:

  1. It may take a longer time to boot for the first time, especially if there are many third-party applications on your phone.
  2. 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 which may cause slight hanging and faster power consumption.

Realme also recommends open beta applicants to backup their personal data before proceeding with the programme to prevent any unnecessary data loss should any unfortunate bugs or glitches happen during the open beta programme.

The Realme 8i was launched back in September 2021 with a MediaTek Helio G96 chipset. The device was launched initially with Realme UI 2.0 based on Android 11.
