Realme has stuck to its Realme UI 2.0 Early Access rollout plans and has released the beta update for a bunch of smartphones such as the Realme 7, Realme 6 Pro, and Realme X2 to name a few.

At the time of this writing, only the Realme X50 Pro and Realme X50 Pro Player edition have bagged the stable version of the company’s new skin based on Android 11.

Although, as we had reported earlier, the company may begin seeding the stable update for some models such as the Realme 7 Pro in March.

That said, according to Realme’s plans, the Realme 7i, 6i, and Narzo 10 have been in line to get the Realme UI 2.0 Early Access update this month.

And well it appears that Realme 7i users can finally rejoice since the OEM has officially opened up the Realme UI 2.0 Early Access applications for the device.

The announcement was made on the company’s community forums and states that users will be able to register for the beta program starting today, i.e. February 17, 2021.

Those interested in the Early Access program will have to make sure that their devices are updated to version RMX2103PU_11.A.37.

Realme has also shared the steps to apply for the Early Access program which can be done from the Software Update settings page itself. Check out the brief guide below:

1.Update your device to the required UI version→[RMX2103PU_11.A.37].

2.Apply for the Early access via the Software Update Application channel:

(Settings > Software Update > Tap on the settings icon in the top right corner > Trial Version > Apply Now > Submit your details and finish the quiz).

If for some reason you decide to roll back to Android 10, you will be able to do so as the company will be sharing the rollback package soon. But keep in mind that you will not be able to install the Early Access update again.

Now that the Realme UI 2.0 Early Access recruitment has begun for the Realme 7i, it’s highly likely that the company would do the same for the Realme 6i and Realme Narzo 10 soon.
