[Stable update live] Realme 3 & Realme 3i Pie-based April patch rolls out, Realme UI (Android 10) stable update next? (Download link inside)

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

Original story (from April 21) follows:

Though Realme did not take too long to deliver the Realme UI (Android 10) updates for the devices under its portfolio, a few smartphones, like Realme 3 and Realme 3i are still in the pipeline to get it.

Both the devices were expected to get the stable Realme UI (Android 10) update by the second week of April, but the update seems distant, as we have already entered the third week of the month.

What gives more weightage to the above statement that the update has been pushed, is the fact that Realme has now started rolling out a new Android 9 Pie-based April 2020 security update for both the Realme 3 and Realme 3i.

This latest update also tags along some bug fixes and stability improvements for both the devices. The OTA is arriving with version number A.28 on Realme 3 and 3i.

Here is the combined changelog of the said update for both the Realme devices:

[Changelog]
Security
● Android security patch: April, 2020
System
● Fixed some known bugs, and improved system stability

Our readers should note that the update will be hitting their Realme 3 and Realme 3i units via OTA in batches. If you haven’t received the notification for it, then you should wait for a bit as it is rolled out in a staggered manner.

However, for those who do not wish to wait for the OTA to arrive on their phones and want to upgrade their phone right away, then you can download the update package file from the below section:
