Realme started rolling out the stable build of Android 10-based Realme UI for the Realme XT last week. However, the update only reached a limited number of users. In the case you haven’t been contemplated with the update yet, you’ll be glad to know that Realme released the update package so that you can install it manually.

The new update package sports version number RMX1921EX_11_C.01. Furthermore, it brings Realme UI and Android 10. Realme UI is a software inspired on ColorOS 7, but with a clean approach recalling vanilla Android 10.
