Realme Announces Long Term Beta Program With Early Access to Android 11 Beta for Realme X2 Pro Users

Realme has announced a long term beta program for Realme UI on the Realme X2 Pro. This will lead to the Android 11 Early Access Beta for users who enrol in the program. Realme X2 Pro users started receiving Android 10 based Realme UI back in March and now, select users have a chance to be part of the long-term beta program that will lead to Android 11 beta, most likely next year.

The details have been posted on the Realme community page. This will be a chance for 100 “hard core Realme fans to experience the latest developments in Realme UI,” and also start their journey towards Android 11. The deadline to apply is May 18, and the 100 selected participants will be announced on the community page by May 22

The program is called Realme X2 Pro Long-term Beta and will last for one year. It is divided into two phases – Closed beta and Android 11 Early Access Beta.

What's the Long-term Beta program?

Realme says this program will allow Realme X2 Pro users to try out unreleased Realme UI features as part of a closed beta. They will help the company in making the final decision of whether a feature should make its way to the official stable Realme UI or not.
