The 5 Best And 5 Worst Things About Realme Smartphones – SlashGear

Realme is part of the large group of smartphone brands that employ a company-built operating system. While still running on the base Android framework, these systems are crucial in differentiating Android-based smartphones and, perhaps, making some more attractive to consumers than others. Such attractiveness is indeed the selling point of Realme UI. Previously featuring OPPO’s ColorOS as the main operating system, Realme devices now use the company’s own Realme UI — another step in Realme’s independence as a smartphone brand.

Realme UI extends well beyond a mere home launcher to touch every part of the smartphone. The first thing to note is that it offers a high level of customization and functionality. You can set up gestures to perform several smartphone tasks instantly, as well as rearrange your notification bar, desktop icons, and widgets based on your preferences and use patterns. Even more exciting than this is the very experience of using Realme UI: with its interface design, transitions, and animations, Realme UI is easily in contention as one of the best skins in the market.

As Realme has clarified, its UI editions are based on different Android versions: Realme UI R, for instance, was built on Android 11, and Realme UI S on Android 12. With every periodic update, the company improves the operating system’s features, functionality, and integration with the base Android framework. Realme UI can of course be enjoyed on not only flagships but also midrange and budget phones.
