Realme X50 Pro Getting Android 11-Based Realme UI 2.0 in India

Realme X50 Pro is getting Realme UI 2.0, based on Android 11. The new software update has started rolling out in batches for Realme X50 Pro users in India. Realme unveiled the Realme UI 2.0 custom skin in September — shortly after Google released Android 11 for its Pixel phones. The Realme UI 2.0 update for Realme X50 Pro brings a list of features to personalise the user interface. It also carries bug fixes and many improvements.

After initially debuting as a preview version in September followed by a closed beta and then an open beta release, the Android 11-based Realme UI 2.0 update has now started rolling out for Realme X50 Pro in a staged manner. The update will randomly reach a limited number of users and will have a broader rollout in a few days, Realme announced in a post on the Realme Community forums.

How to get Android 11-based Realme UI 2.0 on Realme X50 Pro

To receive the Realme UI 2.0 update, your Realme X50 Pro smartphone needs to run on software version A.41. It should be noted that since the update is rolling out in batches at the current stage, it may take some time to reach your handset. The new experience will, however, debut initially for Realme X50 Pro users who are already testing Realme UI 2.0 in a beta version.

Realme noted in its forum post that the new software update may cause Realme X50 Pro to function a bit slow and consume more power during the initial days after receiving the new update.

“We request you to give some time to the smartphone (at least 5 hours) after the phone is fully charged or use the smartphone for three days normally, post which the smartphone should function normally,” the company said.
