      [Updated] Realme 3i & 3 VoWiFi support on Airtel & Jio arrives with March patch; Realme 3 Pro March OTA released (Download links inside)

      This story is being continuously updated…. New updates are being added at the bottom…..

      Original story (from March 23) follows:

      Back in January, we saw Realme come out and promise to roll out WiFi Calling, more affectionately known as VoWiFi, to a number of its devices, including Realme X, Realme 5, Realme 3 Pro, Realme 2 Pro, Realme 3i, Realme 3, among others.

      Already, some of these devices have been updated to support VoWiFi. Most recently, we have seen the Realme 2 Pro get this feature with the March security patch update.

      Today, Realme is extending the same support in an update to a few more devices, including the Realme 3i, Realme 3 and the Realme 3 Pro pictured above. This feature is bundled with the March 2020 Android security patch update.

      First up is the Realme 3 Pro. This device was first unveiled back in May 2019. Some of the key highlights of the Realme 3 Pro include the fact that it features a 25-megapixel selfie camera. It sports a 6.3-inch IPS FHD+ screen and is backed by a 4,045mAh battery.

      This update brings the software version running on the Realme 3 Pro to version RMX1851EX_11.C.04. The update is a little more comprehensive than the usual monthly security patches and here is the changelog.

      Changelog:

      Next up is the Realme 3. This device was announced in March 2019. It features a 6.22″ IPS LCD display and is powered by the MT6771 Helio P60 chipset.

      The following is the update’s changelog.

      As is the case with any update roll out from Realme, this is going to be a staged rollout meaning, some users will get this update before others. This, the company says, is in order to ensure the stability of this update.

      However, you can download the firmware zip file and manually update your device to this build to enjoy VoWiFi. Below is the download link to the firmware.

      • Device: realme 3
      • Codename: RMX1821EX
      • Channel: India Stable

      The other Realme device that is getting VoWiFi support and an update to the latest March 2020 Android security patch level is the Realme 3i.

      The update’s changelog is a lot similar to the one we have seen for the other March 2020 security patch updates for Realme devices in India.

      It is commendable that a company, in this case, Realme, is able to roll out an update to address a select market. This just goes to show how consumer-centered the company is. VoWiFi support on Airtel & Jio is set to continue as more and more devices get updated.
