Ever since the launch of Android 13, Realme has been actively rolling out the new software to its devices in all ranges. Back in September, Realme 9 5G got its official Realme UI 3.0 update based on Android 12. Now, a few months later, the device is getting its Android 13 x Realme UI 4.0 Early Access build, indicating that the stable update will arrive soon.

For Realme 9 5G users that are interested, Realme is currently providing the Android 13 upgrade based on Realme UI 4.0 Early Access build. This will serve as the newly developed software’s test run before the company releases the stable update in the future.

The official community post made by Realme mentions that as it is an early access program, only a limited number of seats are available. The application is now open, and applications will be accepted in batches. Additionally, it is important to note that since this is an early edition, there may be issues and some apps may not function properly. Installing the Early Access software on your primary phone might not be advised.

If you wish to apply for the Realme 9 5G’s Early Access program, you need to make sure that your device’s firmware is running on the RMX3388_11.C.06/ RMX3388_11.C.05 version. Also, make sure that your device has more than 60% battery.

To apply, you can navigate to Settings > Software Update > Tap on the three bars in the top right corner > Tap on Trial Version > Select Apply Now > Fill out the form and submit your details and finish the quiz.

You will receive a notification once the application has been submitted. However, not everyone who joins the program will receive the upgrade due to a lack of seats. It is advised to back up your personal data beforehand in order to prevent data loss during the update process.

Realme 9 5G receives Android 12 based Realme UI 3.0 update

Sudhanshu — Thu, 15 Sep 2022 06:04:14 +0000

Back in July, Realme began testing Realme UI 3.0 open beta builds for the Realme 9 5G. Now, the brand has finally released the Android 12-based stable build for the device for regular users.

The Realme UI 3.0 stable update rollout will be released to Realme 9 5G users in batches, and to be eligible for the update, users will have to make sure that they are on the firmware version RMX3388_11.A.06 / RMX3388_11.A.07.

As usual, the update will be rolling out in badges, so it might take a few days before the update is made available on all devices. Realme has also listed some common issues that might occur after the update that the users will need to be mindful of. You can check them out below.

Common issues

a. After the upgrade, it may take a longer time to boot for the first time, especially if there are many third-party applications on your phone.

b. After the upgrade, in order to improve the system’s operation efficiency and eliminate potential safety risks, the system will perform a series of actions such as application adaptation, background optimization, and security scanning. So, the system will occupy more CPU, memory, and other resources, which may cause slight hanging and faster power consumption.

The new update will bring a new UI design to the device along with new features and increased performance and efficiency. Cameras will also get a few new options, and gaming will be smoother with more stable frame rates and less battery consumption.
