Google released Android 16 in June, months ahead of its usual release timeline. This early treat shouldn’t be limited to Google Pixels, but devices from other brands, including Realme, should also receive Android 16 faster than usual.

Realme’s update policy needs an upgrade
Realme is fairly quick with software updates, but the update promise falls short of what most Android brands offer. The brand has long offered just three Android upgrades to its high-end phones, the GT series. Only recently, it started offering four of them with the GT 7 series release.
While it’s a nice move, Realme is still a step behind Oppo and Nothing, which offer up to five OS updates, and much behind Samsung and Google, promising up to seven Android updates.
The mid-range and cheaper models from Realme max out at just two OS upgrades, while its rivals offer up to four. Samsung is in a different league, offering up to six OS updates to its newer mid-range models. So, longer software updates are no longer exclusive to flagship devices, and Realme needs to learn that. The brand should offer extended major upgrades on non-flagship phones, too.
