Last month, Realme announced Android 13 early access updates for Realme GT 2 Pro users in India. Now the brand has expanded this program for the Realme GT 2 and GT Neo 3 smartphones in the country. This is also in line with the company’s Android 13 early access roadmap that was announced last week. About 30 Realme phones are eligible for the early access program with a stable version set to release a few weeks later. 

Realme GT 2, GT Neo 3 Android 13 early access program underway

The early access update means that users can now experience the latest OS version on their devices, however, since it is a part of the beta program, there might be some bugs. The Android 13 early access program for the Realme GT 2 and GT Neo 3 is already underway and applications are accepted in batches with only limited seats available. Both smartphones debuted this year and shipped with Realme UI 3.0 based on Android 12. The next-generation Android 13 offers more customisations along with enhanced security and privacy. 

Realme warns that the early access update is not worth installing on the GT 2 and GT Neo 3 if it’s your daily driver. Additionally, users have to back up their personal data to avoid any loss. Some third-party apps may not be compatible with Android 13, therefore updating apps to the latest version should be avoided. 

Realme says that there should be more than 10GB of storage space on the GT 2 and GT Neo 3. The early access update may also have an unpredictable impact on the device and affect daily usage.

How to apply for Android 13 Early Access program

To get the Android 13 early access update, users need to follow the steps mentioned below.

  • Ensure that the Realme GT 2 has more than 60 per cent battery
  • Update the device to the required UI version: RMX3312_11.A.19 / RMX3312_11.A.20

  •  Apple for the early access via the software update application channel
