Realme Rolls Out UI 7.0 Beta Update to Over 50 Devices
You can expect a cleaner design, faster performance, and smarter AI tools as UI 7.0 rolls out through 2026.
If you’ve used a Realme phone long enough, you probably know the waiting game that comes with big Android updates. Now, Realme is finally giving users a clearer picture. The company has rolled out Realme UI 7.0 beta built on Android 16, and it’s promising a more polished interface, deeper AI features, and system improvements aimed at smoother performance.
The Realme GT 8 Pro will ship with UI 7.0 from day one, but everyone else will have to follow the rollout schedule, which stretches into early 2026. Realme describes UI 7.0 as its next step toward “intelligence and personalisation,” with lighter animations, refined visuals, and under-the-hood changes that should reduce stutter and improve responsiveness.
And there are a few specifics already confirmed. UI 7.0 will introduce a new “Light Glass” design language with softer textures, redesigned “Ice Cube” icons, and a refreshed control centre called “Misty Glass.” Realme also says its updated Flux Engine can boost responsiveness by around 15% and improve scrolling fluidity by nearly 30%. These are Realme’s own numbers, but they offer a clearer look at what the company is trying to address.

Which Realme phones get UI 7.0 and when?
Realme is rolling out the update in two phases. The first wave arrives in the fourth quarter of 2025 and covers more than forty models, including the Realme GT 7 series, the Realme 12 and 13 lines, the Narzo 80 and 70 families, and most mid-range 5G phones released in the past 18 months.
The second wave follows in the first quarter of 2026, adding devices like the Realme 13+, Realme 12+, Narzo 70 Pro, Realme 15T, and others. Realme says the list will grow over time. The company is treating this phase as “Early Access,” so bugs are expected. The stable UI 7.0 rollout will only begin once feedback has been collected and refined.
What to expect besides the visual refresh
Realme hasn’t released a full feature list yet, but expect tighter integration with Android 16’s privacy upgrades, more AI tools woven into system apps, and performance tuning across background operations. The update is less about flashy new features and more about cleaning up long-standing rough edges across Realme’s software.
The takeaway
Realme UI 7.0 isn’t a radical overhaul, but it's a meaningful step toward cleaner visuals, better responsiveness, and deeper AI features. With a long upgrade pipeline stretching into 2026, Realme is trying to show it can support its devices more consistently. If your phone is on the roadmap, a more refined Android experience is on the way.
