Although Android 16 has been formally released, only Pixel devices can currently run it. Other companies, including One UI 8, are also developing their own unique iterations of Android 16. Specifically, Realme has not disclosed anything about its Realme UI 7, which is based on Android 16. You can, however, review our anticipated list of Realme phones that support Android 16.
The Realme UI 7, which will introduce Android 16 to its devices, has not yet been announced by Realme. The Android 16 developer preview for Realme’s most recent flagship, which isn’t based on Realme UI 7, is the only advancement we’ve seen from the company thus far.
Realme customers will have to wait a bit longer for the Android 16 upgrade because it was only launched a few weeks ago. Waiting for Android 16 would be pointless, though, if your device isn’t compatible with it. You can use the list we’ve produced to determine whether or not your Realme phone is compatible with Android 16.
Your device is either not eligible for the Android 16 upgrade or hasn’t been verified by our team yet if it isn’t listed.
The updating policy serves as the basis for this list, which should be largely accurate. This is not an official list, though, and the official list might change.
It’s challenging to correctly anticipate all eligible models because Realme hasn’t formally revealed an update policy for every phone or series, particularly for less well-known handsets. We will, however, keep updating this list after confirming the facts from many sources.
The Realme GT 7 series may receive the Android 16 upgrade before any other Realme series. It’s possible that beta testing will start in July.
