OPPO has started teasing ColorOS 12 based on Android 12. On the other hand, the company’s sister brand is yet to finish the Android 11-based realme UI 2.0 stable update rollout for eligible devices. In the past few days, the brand had begun to seed last year’s Android release to four of its handsets.

The world’s fastest-growing smartphone brand is currently rolling out realme UI 2.0 stable update based on Android 11 for some of its devices. These phones are realme X, realme 6, realme 6i, and realme narzo 10A. All of them were part of the beta program a few months back.

The latest system update for these handsets arrives with the following firmware versions.

• realme X – RMX1901EX_11.F.03
• realme 6 – RMX2001_11.C.12
• realme 6i – RMX2001_11.C.12
• realme narzo 10A – RMX2020_11_C.06

Like any other OTA software update, the Android 11 stable update for the above-listed smartphones is being seeded out in batched manner. Hence, some users might receive it earlier, while others will have to wait a bit longer. At the end of the day, all users should get the new build in the coming days.

That being said, OPPO will be soon announcing the Android 12-based ColorOS 12. Hence, we also expect realme to drop its new version of mobile software, which will be most likely called realme UI 3.0 at around the same time.

Chinese smartphone maker realme has been rolling out the Android 11-based realme UI 2.0 beta builds to a number of eligible devices since September 2020. However, only two handsets have received the stable update in India so far. But the brand is continuously adding new phones to the Early Access program. The realme C3 and the realme narzo 10A are the latest handsets to join the initiative.

According to the realme UI 2.0 update plan shared by realme, the brand is supposed to start recruiting Early Access testers for realme C3 and realme narzo 10A in March. Following the schedule, the company has opened registrations before the end of this month.

For those unaware, the realme UI Early Access program lets a select few users experience the latest version of realme UI available. Based on the feedback received from these early adopters, the brand fixes the issues if any. Only then, the update is made available to the general public.

In order to enroll in this program, users of these two phones should be on the following builds.

• realme C3 – RMX2027_11.A.59
• realme narzo 10A – RMX2020_11.A.59

If interested users on the above-mentioned builds, then they can navigate to Settings > Software Update > Gear Icon > Trial > Submit Details > Apply Now to register.

Users who get selected will be receiving the realme UI 2.0 (Android 11 ) beta build via OTA. For some reason, if these users want to roll back to Android 10 (realme UI 10), then they can. But that process will not only wipe the phone’s internal storage but those users won’t be able to rejoin the Early Access initiative.
