The realme C15 Qualcomm Edition made its debut at the end of October 2020. As the name suggests, it comes with a Qualcomm SoC, Snapdragon 460 to be precise. The original model is powered by a MediaTek Helio G35 chip. On the software front, the phone launched with realme UI based on Android 10. Now, it has finally started receiving the Android 11 (realme UI 2.0) stable update.

Chinese handset maker realme opened realme UI 2.0 Early Access registrations for realme C15 Qualcomm Edition by late April 2021. A little over two months later, the smartphone has now begun to receive the stable update.

According to the official announcement post on realme Community, the latest system update for the device arrives with firmware version RMX2195PU_11.A.05. Right now, it is being rolled out in batches. Hence, it could take some time to reach every unit.

Anyway, the update should be available for all users in the coming days. Also, users not satisfied with the software build can revert back to Android 10. However, that process will wipe the device’s internal storage.

Unfortunately, it’s not known whether this phone will get the Android 12 update in the future. We don’t think it will be eligible either. But we believe is that it should get maintenance security patches for a while.

The realme C15 Qualcomm Edition was launched in India in late October 2020. This smartphone is also known as realme C15 Holliday Edition in Indonesia. It debuted with realme UI based on Android 10. Now, months after its release, users of this handset can finally taste Android 11 (realme UI 2.0).

Chinese handset maker realme announced realme UI 2.0 based on Android 11 in September. Since then, the company has been running beta programs for eligible devices. However, only a few have received the stable update so far.

The latest phone to join the realme UI 2.0 Early Access program is the realme C15 Qualcomm Edition. Interested users of this smartphone need to be on either of these two firmware versions to enroll themselves – RMX2195PU_11.A.29 and RMX2195PU_11.A.31.

If they are running any of the above-mentioned builds, then they can head over to Settings > Software Update > Gear Icon > Trial Version > Apply Now and submit the required details.

Unfortunately, the brand has not revealed the number of seats for the first batch of testers. Hence, interested users are advised to register as soon as possible to get selected. On approval of their application, they will receive the Android 11-based realme UI 2.0 beta update via OTA.

If users are facing major issues or do not like the experience, they can roll back to Android 10 (realme UI) by installing the rollback package offered by the brand. But this process will wipe the phone’s internal storage and the unit cannot be registered again for the Early Access program.

The post realme UI 2.0 (Android 11) Early Access roadmap for Q2 2021 revealed appeared first on Gizmochina.

Realme has officially taken the wraps off the Realme C15 Qualcomm edition in India. The new version is an upgraded version of the C15 which was first launched in March this year. The model was only launched in India in August this year.

The major difference between the two versions is that this model is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 460 processor as against a MediaTek Helio G35 chip on the earlier model. Other than that, the C15 Qualcomm Edition is the same as the MediaTek edition, specs-wise. We can’t say the same thing about the processor, though. We expect the Qualcomm chipset top offer a better processing power.

As a reminder, the Realme C15 features a 6.5-inch HD+ display with a waterdrop notch. The screen produces HD+ resolution and a 20:9 aspect ratio. The Helio G35 chipset fuels the phone with LPDRR4x RAM. Apart from internal storage, the phone comes with a microSD card slot for more storage.

The C15 packs an 8-megapixel front camera for selfies and its rear has a Quad camera setup made up of a 13-megapixel + 8-megapixel (ultrawide) + 2-megapixel (B&W) + 2-megapixel (retro) combo. Keeping the lights on is a 6,000mAh battery which supports 18W fast charging through microUSB. It has a rear-facing fingerprint reader.

As for the price, the Realme C15 Qualcomm edition comes in Power Blue and Power Silver colours and is priced at Rs. 9,999 (~$134) for the 3GB RAM with 32GB storage version and the 4GB RAM with 64GB storage version costs Rs. 10,999 (~$148). The price is similar to that of the MediaTek version. However, Realme will sell the model at a reduced price of Rs. 9499 (~$128) for the 3GB+32GB variant and Rs. 10499 (~$141) 4GB+64GB variant, starting from 29th October onwards as an introductory festive offer. The sale will commence tomorrow (October 29) from 12 PM via realme.com, Flipkart and offline stores.

In August, Realme announced the Realme C15 mid-range phone with a starting price of Rs 9,999 (~$135). The handset is fueled by the Helio G35 chipset by MediaTek. Leaked information shared by popular tipster Mukul Sharma reveals that the Chinese firm could be planning to launch the Realme C15 Qualcomm Edition phone. The tipster has shared the key details of the new CPU variant of the Realme C15.

Realme recently launched Realme C11, Realme C12, and Realme C15 phones in India. All of them are equipped with MediaTek chipsets. In an interview with 91mobiles in August, Realme CEO Madhav Sheth said, “Maybe we will launch the Qualcomm version of C11, C12, and C15 if the customers ask for it in the near future.” Hence, it appears that after the Realme C15 Qualcomm Edition, the company may also bring Qualcomm versions of the C11 and C12 phones.

Coming back to the Realm C15 Qualcomm Edition leak, it will come in two variants such as 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage and 3 GB RAM + 32 GB storage. It will be available in colors like Power Blue and Power Silver. There is no information on the other specs of the device.
