Realme 3 and Realme 6 Pro Get April 2020 Security Patch, Camera Fixes, and More

Realme 3 and Realme 6 Pro smartphones have started receiving the April 2020 security patch with a new over-the-air (OTA) update. The development was shared on the Realme community forum along with the changelog for the updates on the two phones. The Realme 3 update comes mainly with a security patch and some bug fixes, and the update for the Realme 6 Pro brings camera improvements and fixes, along with the April security patch. Notably, both updates will be staged which means that not all users would have received the update just yet.

The update for the Realme 3 comes with version RMX1821EX_11.A.28 while the Realme 6 Pro update comes with version RMX2061_11_A.15. The community page for both the phones does state that the updated will have a staged rollout to ensure stability. A limited number of users will be receiving the update today and once the company makes sure there are no critical bugs, it will be pushed to a larger number of Realme 3 and Realme 3 Pro users. Again, if there are no critical bugs, all the users will receive the update in the coming days.
