Realme XT update: What’s new?

The new system update adds a Dark Mode toggle on the phone. Running on Oppo’s ColorOS 6, the Realme XT didn’t really have a way to get dark mode quickly.

A fix for the black box issue is also included in the update.

How to get the update?

Realme will roll out the update in a staged manner. Hence, not all users will get the update at once. The best way to see if the update is available for you is to go to Settings > Software Update and click on the download button if you see the available update. The Realme XT update will have a broader rollout in the following days if no issues are reported in the first stage.
