Google launched Android 16 more than two months ago, yet no Realme phone has received the upgrade as of yet. However, the company claims to be one of the first to roll out Android 16 on premium phones. The deployment of mid-range and low-cost phones should also happen sooner than normal as a result.
Realme plans to update a number of phones in various pricing ranges to Android 16. However, it will mark the end of significant upgrades for several of them. In other words, no significant updates beyond Android 16 will be available for those devices, which will continue to run the same OS for the remainder of their lifetimes. We’ve put together a list of these gadgets. Check it out below to see if you’ll soon need to upgrade your smartphone.

When will the Android 16 update be released by Realme?
A release date for Android 16 has not yet been disclosed by Realme. But the company has previously stated that the Realme GT 7 Pro will be the phone running Android 16’s Realme UI 7.0 update. Soon after, the GT 7 and GT 7T will join the celebration.
Starting with the GT 6 and GT 6T, the company will introduce the stable Realme UI 7.0 to the GT 6 series after the Realme GT 7 series. Other Realme devices that qualify will thereafter progressively receive the update.
The company has not commented on the Android 16 release, but given that competitors like Oppo, OnePlus, and Samsung are also doing so for their own Android skins, it must be getting ready for a Realme UI 7.0 beta release shortly. Realme is anticipated to begin hiring beta testers for Realme UI 7.0 in a few days, with the stable rollout probably starting in September.
