Realme UI 3.0 update release date

Realme took the covers off this new build on October 13th at the Global launch event for the company’s latest mid-range product, the Realme GT Neo 2. Right now, a majority of the Realme smartphones are running the Realme UI 2.0 build, and a majority of them are slated to get the new Realme UI 3.0 in the coming months.

The Realme UI 3.0 build is based on Android 12, and the first beta was released as soon as the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) files were updated.

Realme UI 3.0 top features

The new Realme UI 3.0 takes many quality features, some of them ported from ColorOS and OxygenOS. Let us explore some of them.

Fluid Space Design & 3D Icons

Compared to the outgoing 2.0 build, the new Realme UI 3.0 feels more expressive with plenty of colours. In addition, the brand has designed a new layout interface that gives a spatial sense to the user by cutting down on extra white space between elements and condensing the information in the menus.

Some UI elements have been widened, with the brand choosing more pastel colours to help create depth and establish order and harmony. This new UI is more engaging, pleasing to the eyes, and more intuitive.

Moving to the icons, they are now 3D and contain layer upon layers for that pleasing look. We get to see the use of vibrant colours to provide a sense of context and visibility. Every icon and has been redrawn and redesigned by the team after thorough research. Elements such as unnecessary strokes and shadows have been removed to follow the UI symmetry.

Personalization AOD

The Realme UI 3.0 also brings changes to the Always-on-display (AOD). Realme is calling their AOD Sketchpad AOD, which is similar to what we see on OnePlus smartphones. Sketchpad AOD converts your portrait wallpaper into artistic AOD. Additionally, there are many new AOD effects added under the personalization option.

Omoji

A feature that first surfaced on iPhones has now made its way on Android phones as well. Omoji is a 3D avatar of your face with custom hairstyles, headwear, makeup, and more. These avatars can also mirror your expressions in real-time though this feature is limited to select Realme smartphones.

For Omoji, Realme uses a face capture algorithm to create high-precision 3D models layered onto their visual engine for a more playful look. The use case for Omojis is limited as of now, but we hope more and more developers will update their apps to support this.

New Global Theme

Android 12 brings a new theming engine which has been used here as well. This new Smart Theming Engine automatically picks colours from your wallpaper and applies those colours across system elements.

We will hear more on this when the Android 12 stable beta starts hitting the masses.

Enhanced Privacy

Android 12 AOSP has been focused on Privacy quite a bit this time. With this new Realme UI build, you get permission in visual forms for better control over your privacy. There is also the option of Approximate Location, which you can enable on apps that only need a general area location while a new Precise Location has also popped up. As the name suggests, this new option provides your accurate position within a couple of meters to apps.

The Privacy Indicator also lets you know whenever an app uses your phone’s camera, microphone, or location. You can go into settings and change the permission setting.

Fluid UI

With Realme UI 3.0, Realme is introducing AI smooth engine, which reportedly decreases memory usage by 30% while improving app launch speeds by 13 percent. In addition, the UI also utilizes Smooth Animation Engine to smoothen out the interaction. As a result, every interaction on the Realme smartphone now looks and feels incredibly fluid; swipe and tap feel responsive and smooth to the eyes.
