It’s been over two months since Google released Android 16, but the update is yet to reach any Realme phone. The brand, however, promises to be among the first to release Android 16 to the flagship phones. This should also mean a faster-than-usual rollout for mid-range and budget phones.

Realme will upgrade a bunch of phones to Android 16 across price segments. But for some of them, it will be the end of the road for major upgrades. In other words, those devices will spend the rest of their lives running the same OS; no major upgrades will be offered beyond Android 16. We’ve curated a list of such devices. Review it below to find out if you’ll need a smartphone upgrade soon.

Android 16 will be the final major upgrade for these Realme phones

Realme hasn’t announced a release date for Android 16 yet. However, the brand has already confirmed that the Realme GT 7 Pro will be the phone to receive the Realme UI 7.0 update, based on Android 16.  The GT 7 and GT 7T will join the party shortly after.

In a few days, Realme is expected to start recruiting beta testers for Realme UI 7.0, with the stable rollout likely to begin sometime in September.

What to expect from Realme UI 7.0 and Android 16?

Realme will integrate many new features and enhancements from Android 16 into the next software upgrades, in addition to the features and changes introduced to the Realme UI 7.0 skin. This will likely include Android 16’s progress-centric notification (also known as Live Updates) for tracking ongoing activities without having to open apps. Realme phones already have a similar feature called “Mini Capsule,” but that only works with limited functions. Integrating it with Android 16’s Live Updates would make it a lot more helpful for users.

One of the standout additions is Android Protection, an array of security features that’s designed to protect users from online attacks, harmful apps, unsafe websites, scam calls, and other online threats. This will also be a part of the upcoming major upgrade.

The Realme UI 7.0 update may also include new AI features, additional widgets, and enhanced customization options. Additionally, there may be UI changes, several new features, and more responsive software.

Google Pixel users have been enjoying Android 16 for over a month now, but it’s yet to reach devices from other brands. Realme, however, promised to be among the first brands to deliver the update to its flagship devices. This also means that mid-range and cheaper models should get the update faster than usual.

The Android 16 update for Realme phones will come with Realme UI 7.0 skin at the top, which is said to bring many new features, customizations, and meaningful changes across the system. The sad part, though, is that many Realme users are going to miss out on this major upgrade. We’ve prepared a list of those devices below. Review it to find out if you’ll need an upgrade to receive the latest features and enhancements.

Realme phones that are not eligible for Android 16 update

Relme hasn’t announced which devices will or won’t be upgraded to Android 16-based Realme UI 7.0. So, we had to rely on the software update policy and a little bit of guesswork to prepare the following list:

Realme GT series

• Realme GT 2
• Realme GT 2 Pro
• Realme GT 2 Explorer Master
• Realme GT 5G
• Realme GT Master

Realme GT Neo series

• Realme GT Neo 3
• Realme GT Neo 3T
• Older GT Neo series models

Realme number series

• Realme 11 (LTE/5G)
• Realme 11 Pro
• Realme 11 Pro+
• Realme 11x
• Older number series models

Realme Narzo series

• Realme Narzo 60
• Realme Narzo 60 Pro
• Realme Narzo 60x
• Older Narzo series models

Realme Narzo N series

• Realme Narzo N55
• Realme Narzo N53

Realme C series

• Realme C67
• Realme C55
• Realme C53
• Realme C51
• Realme C51s
• Older C series models

If your Realme smartphone is on the list, it’s unlikely to receive the Android 16 update. However, I’d still recommend checking the official list for the final confirmation before you start looking around for an upgrade.

Realme’s update policy needs an upgrade

Realme is fairly quick with software updates, but the update promise falls short of what most Android brands offer. The brand has long offered just three Android upgrades to its high-end phones, the GT series. Only recently, it started offering four of them with the GT 7 series release.

While it’s a nice move, Realme is still a step behind Oppo and Nothing, which offer up to five OS updates, and much behind Samsung and Google, promising up to seven Android updates.

The mid-range and cheaper models from Realme max out at just two OS upgrades, while its rivals offer up to four. Samsung is in a different league, offering up to six OS updates to its newer mid-range models. So, longer software updates are no longer exclusive to flagship devices, and Realme needs to learn that. The brand should offer extended software support to non-flagship phones, too.

Which Realme device do you have, and is it eligible for the Android 16 upgrade? Do let us know in the comment section below. Also, don’t forget to visit our Android 16 section regularly for the latest updates.

Google released Android 16 in June, months ahead of its usual release timeline. This early treat shouldn’t be limited to Google Pixels, but devices from other brands, including Realme, should also receive Android 16 faster than usual.
