Android 13 may have been launched almost half a year ago, but its talk is still new to many users, who are yet to get the update. Smartphone brands are gradually rolling out the update for the remaining devices. The latest Realme phone to receive the stable Android 13 update is the Realme GT Neo 2 5G. The device is getting Android 13 with realme UI 4.0 update.
There are many Realme phones that haven’t received the Android 13 update yet. If you have a Realme phone that is yet to receive the Android 13 update, you can expect it soon. And if you own the Realme GT Neo 2 5G, then your wait is over as the phone is finally getting the update.
Realme released the phone in the second half of 2021 with Android 11 OS. And later the company released its first major update, Android 12. So this means that Android 13 is the second major update for the device. This could be the last major update for the phone.
Realme GT Neo 2 5G Android 13 update is rolling out to users with build number RMX3370_11.F.03. For the update, there is a requirement that the phone must be running on the RMX3370_11.C.10 or RMX3370_11.C.11.
