Android Pie (ColorOS 6) Is Officially Coming in June for Realme 1 and U1

If you don’t know the story behind Realme, you must understand that it’s a subsidiary to Oppo, and the first release was in India with the Realme 1. The Realme 1 is a rebrand after Oppo F5 Youth, and the design was quite similar. But the difference was that the Realme 1 had some significant improvements and it came with MediaTek Helio P60 processor. The design on the back of the phone is like a diamond cut, and it’s running Android 8.1 Oreo (ColorOS 5.2).

Realme 1 and U1

The story of the Realme U1 started at the end of last year, and it came as a more lifestyle phone than the previous. The phone is sporting a MediaTek Helio P70, a dewdrop notch display, and at the camera department, it has a dual camera on the rear and a superior selfie camera on the front. Even if the company upgraded the SoC, the software was the same. But the fans are asking, so the company is giving. Realme made a promise to bring Android 9 Pie with ColorOS 6 to the two devices, so now we have the ColorOS 6 beta in testing. Things are starting to move, let’s see what the changes are.
