Realme 1 and U1 updated with December 2019 security patches, and more

Earlier this week, Realme rolled out updates to the Realme X2, 5, 5S and C2, bringing November security patches, dark mode quick toggle, and more to these devices. Now, the company is rolling out a new software update to last year’s budget smartphones: Realme 1 and Realme U1. The update brings the latest security patches, improvements to the stock launcher and Notification Center, and also fixes known issues reported by users.

In terms of new features, the update adds a quick toggle for the system-wide dark mode in the Notification Center so you can quickly enable it without digging deep into the device settings. Additionally, flash on call feature has also been added which, as the name suggests, blinks the flashlight whenever you receive an incoming call to draw your attention.

You can find the full update changelog for both devices below.

For those wondering whether their device will receive the ColorOS 7 and Android 10 update, Realme confirmed earlier this month that they would not update the Realme 1 and Realme U1 to the latest version. This shouldn’t come as a surprise given most budget devices in the market only receive one major Android update during their lifetime. The Realme 1 and Realme U1 were launched with Android Oreo out of the box and have already received one major update in the form of the Android Pie based ColorsOS 6 which was rolled out back in June this year.
