Realme is one of the fastest-growing smartphone companies in the world. It has amassed a large number of users. With bets on entry-level smartphones and budget-segment devices, Realme has surely found a substantial user base in the country.
The major reason for the whopping number of sales for Realme has been the presence of noteworthy specifications in low-priced devices. This is something that the smartphone leader in the country, Xiaomi, has been known to be an expert in. Now, in the latest development for Realme, the first phone from the company, Realme 1 has received a new update on the software front. The update for Realme 1 has also been brought to the Realme U1, and it brings the latest ColorOS 6.0 to both of these smartphones. Now the notable features that the users will appreciate on these smartphones are Dark Mode and October Security Patch, but there is one thing that the users definitely won’t like, and that is the presence of ads on the phones.
Realme 1 Starts Receiving October Security Patch With Dark Mode
Ads were popping up on ColorOS version CPH1861EX_11_C.45 that was pushed out with the latest October 2019 security patch. The ads are showing up in system apps like the download manager, and even as pop-ups on the home screen. The update added an option to ‘Get Recommendations’ in the Settings App, which now has been taken down.
After users started complaining about ads on their smartphones, CMO of Realme India, Francis Wong first claimed it was showing up only on the beta version of the update. But after people claimed it’s on the stable version, Wong replied it’s a “system error from a beta software version.” Did an unwanted beta feature accidentally make its way to the stable version? More importantly, if it was indeed in the beta version, was Realme testing ads in their UI and planning for a wider rollout in the future? Let’s hope not.
