Hands-on with Realme UI 3.0 based on Android 12: Wallpaper-based Themes, new Dark Mode options, and more!
Here's your first look at Realme UI 3.0 based on Android 12. It's the latest update for Realme phones with some new features and changes.
Realme started off as a sub-brand of OPPO back in 2018. What this meant was that Realme used ColorOS on its smartphones for quite a while before users started demanding a custom UI solely meant for Realme devices. While the company didn't really work on a completely new OS, they developed a slightly modified version of ColorOS and called it Realme UI. Realme UI borrows a lot of its UI elements and features from ColorOS since it's majorly just a skin on top. And that's something we continue to observe with the third iteration of Realme UI -- Realme UI 3.0 based on Android 12.
