Realme 3, a solid competitor in the sub-₹10,000 ($145) segment, was launched in March this year with ColorOS 6 based on Android 9 Pie out-of-the-box. With a starting price in the ballpark of $130, the Realme 3 with dual rear cameras, a dewdrop notch design, a large 4320mAh battery, and a gradient design makes for a good option, especially for users who may not want to deal with pesky ads in MIUI. Now, the Redmi 3 is getting a major update with a dedicated Theme Store, new wallpaper and lockscreen features, and display improvements.

First off, the update addresses complaints that the users have had about the Realme 3's display. The post on Realme community forums notes that the display is now smoother and has better quality than before. Secondly, the update brings security patches from May 2019. Additionally, it also updates the default theme and default wallpapers while the icon pack has been updated as well for a relatively minimal appearance.

Realme 3 also gets the Realme Theme Store, the Realme Community app, and the Realme App Market. Further, there's a new Lock Screen Magazine option that allows users to use interesting images of landscapes, popular monuments, or celebrities, etc. on their devices as lock screen wallpapers. These wallpapers are downloaded and routinely refreshed automatically so users don't have to do it manually.
