Smartphone maker realme is yet to finish the rollout of the Android 11-based realme UI 2.0 update for eligible devices. The latest phones to receive this update are realme 5 Pro and realme XT. Both these handsets were released in 2019 with Android 9.0 Pie, and therefore, Android 11 is their second major software update.

According to the official announcement posts on realme Community, the realme UI 2.0 update based on Android 11 for the realme 5 Pro and the realme XT is being rolled out in batches. 

This means the update is only available for a select few users. Anyway, like any other OTA system update, it should gradually reach every user in the coming days.

Having said that, the latest software update for these smartphones arrives with the following firmware versions.

• realme 5 Pro – RMX1971EX_11.F.03
• realme XT – RMX1921EX_11.F.03

Going by realme’s update track record, realme UI 2.0 (Android 11) should be the last major system update for these two phones. But they will continue to receive security patches and maintenance updates for a while.

The realme 5 Pro was introduced along with the realme 5 as the first two quad-camera smartphones from the brand. On the other hand, the realme XT launched as the first 64MP smartphone from realme in India.

The realme number series still exists, however, the realme X series has been now replaced by the realme GT series. The realme 9 series, which has been delayed to 2022, will be the next lineup in the number series.

Just like OPPO, realme has also been rolling out Android 11 builds (mostly beta) in the form of realme UI 2.0 to its eligible smartphones since September 2020. However, unlike the former, the latter has delivered stable update for only a few handsets. That said, the latest devices to join the beta program are realme X and realme XT.

The realme X and the realme XT were launched in the second half of 2019. Both smartphones debuted with ColorOS 6.x based on Android 9.0 Pie. They were later updated to the first edition of realme UI (Android 10).

Now, as per the schedule shared by the brand, realme UI 2.0 Early Access registrations are live for these two handsets. Interested users can head over to these links (1, 2) enroll themselves in the program.

According to the official announcement, the registrations will kick off on June 11. However, the brand has not mentioned the last date. Instead, it does say that testers will be recruited in batches.

That said, in order to qualify, the primary pre-requisite is to be on the following firmware versions.

• realme X – RMX1901EX_11.C.11
• realme XT – RMX1921EX_11_C.13

Last but not least, users who are not satisfied with the realme UI 2.0 (Android 11) beta builds can roll back to realme UI (Android 10). But it is worth noting that this process will not only wipe the phone’s internal storage but also backlists the device from enrolling in the program again.
