[India release] Realme 3 Pro & Realme 5 Pro October patches add system-wide dark mode, optimize game touch experience, & more

New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Last month, Realme promised to begin rolling out the system-wide dark mode feature to some of its smartphones in November 2019, but the company is ahead of schedule.

It all started with the Realme Q, the Chinese variant of the Realme 5 Pro. We reported about the arrival of the Realme dark mode on the device earlier this week and at the time, we mentioned that the global model was in line to receive the feature in the coming days.

Well, it didn’t take the Oppo subsidiary long to begin rolling out the dark mode feature to the Realme 5 Pro in India.

As of this writing, the global rollout of the Realme dark mode feature is now ongoing. The feature is arriving as part of the Realme 5 Pro October security update that carries software version RMX1971EX_11.A.11.

Like its Chinese counterpart, the incoming Realme 5 Pro update also tags along the option to record videos in wide-angle mode and an updated firmware version to optimize the game touch experience. Below is the full changelog as provided by Realme.
