Realme started pushing its new Android skin to the Realme 3 Pro in January and is now rolling it out to the younger siblings, the Realme 3 and the Realme 3i, for this image makeover.
The update is based on Android 10 and provides a complete revamp from Color OS that is currently on old Realme devices.
Taking to its forums, the company announced that the stable version number for the update is RMX1821EX_11.C.09 and it comes with a long list of features. Here are the major ones.
Smart Sidebar
This feature allows users to access a set of selected apps from a sidebar available on the home screen. The sidebar was already present in Color OS but Realme has added a few additional features to it besides optimising some old ones. The new additions include “Assistive Ball Opacity” and “Hide Assistive Ball on Fullscreen App”. Also, a bubble has been added to collapse or open a floating app.
Screenshot (3-finger partial screen)
This is a really neat feature that allows users to take a screenshot of just a select part of the screen very quickly. There is also a new settings option that allows users to change the screenshot preview window.
Navigation Gestures 3.0
All gestures are now supported in landscape mode too.
Focus Mode
Similar to Zen Work-Life Balance on OxygenOS, it minimises outside distractions when you are learning or working.
Realme Share (share files with OPPO, Vivo and Xiaomi devices)
This feature allows sharing of files with a quick one-tap option, a Chinese rival to AirDrop.
Optimized Camera UI, Photos app
Customize icon size, style, New Animated Wallpapers and more
The update has come as per the roadmap and the schedule announced by the company. Besides these and many other interesting features mentioned in the change-log, Realme UI also comes with a new visual treat. In case you want to see the full change-log, visit this link.
