In one after on its community page, Realme highlighted that the latest OS update is now available for the Realme 12 Pro and Realme 12 Pro+ and is based on the beta version of Android 15. Devices must have at least 60 percent battery capacity and 15 GB of available space. Users must also register for the early access program via the Software Update Application channel in the device settings, with the process being as follows:
- Go to Settings > About device > Tap the Realme UI 5.0 banner at the top

According to the changelog, Realme UI 6.0 brings visual improvements with smooth animations. It introduces flux themes that can be personalized with photos or customized with system wallpapers. The company says users can customize the home and lock screens with elements such as glass textures, blurred backgrounds, AI depth effects, and AI autofills. Furthermore, the lock screen in Realme UI 6.0 supports both classic and flux modes.
The Live Alerts feature has been updated and tapping the notification expands it into a detailed map. It also has a new design and an updated animation system. Like OnePlus’ OxygenOS 15 and Oppo’s ColorOS 15, the Realme UI 6.0 update introduces reversible photo editing globally. This allows users to save previous edit settings for subsequent edits in the future. Furthermore, it extends the duration of Live Photos to three seconds.
Realme has rolled out more floating window gestures. Now, swiping down will open the status window, repeating the gesture again will expand it, and swiping sideways will hide it. A split mode has also been added that separates the actions for accessing the quick settings and notification panel.
