Realme has made an important change to its software update policy. The company is now promising four major Android OS updates for selected smartphone models.
This decision is expected to benefit users who want long-term software support and better device performance.
Realme began this initiative last year with the Realme GT 7 series, when it announced that these phones would receive updates for up to four Android versions.
According to a report by Gizmochina, this policy has now been expanded to include more flagship models. However, for now, this benefit is available only for premium Realme smartphones.
Realme Phones Eligible for Four Android Updates
Several flagship Realme devices are now included in this extended update policy. Phones like Realme GT 8 Pro, Realme GT 8, Realme GT 7, and Realme GT 7T will be able to receive Android updates up to Android 19 or Android 20.
This is good news for users who want to keep their smartphones secure, fast, and updated with the latest features for a longer period.
At the same time, most budget and mid-range Realme phones are still limited to a maximum of three major Android OS updates.
List of Realme Devices with Four Major Android OS Updates
Realme has officially confirmed that the following smartphones will receive four major Android updates:
Realme GT 8 Pro – Last major update: Android 20
Realme GT 8 – Last major update: Android 20
Realme GT 7 – Last major update: Android 19
Realme GT 7T – Last major update: Android 19
These devices are now part of Realme’s long-term update plan, which ensures continued access to the latest Android versions, security patches, and system improvements.
Meaning and Benefits of This Update Policy
Four major Android OS updates mean that a smartphone will receive new features, better security, and performance improvements for several years.
Android versions such as Android 17, 18, 19, and 20 bring upgrades like better battery optimization, improved performance, AI-based features, and important security patches.
