Realme is far from one of the quickest company out there when it comes to Android updates, but it has gotten faster over the years. Realme hasn’t shared a release schedule yet, we expect it to release the first stable Android 11 update in select markets by the end of November.
PRIVACY AND SECURITY FEATURES
- One-Time Permissions
- Background Location Access
- Biometrics and Encryption
- Scoped Storage
- Secure Identity Credentials
1. ONE-TIME PERMISSIONS
You’re likely familiar with the process of granting apps permission to parts of your phone, but with Realme UI 2.0(Android 11) there’s a new setting to be aware of: one-time permission that means an app can use your camera for now, but it will have to ask again next time it wants to access.
2. BACKGROUND LOCATION ACCESS
When an app first asks for permission to track location, the option to enable this all the time isn’t available: You need to visit the app’s specific page in Android Settings to do this. The extra steps should, in theory, make us all think twice about granting background location access to an app, rather than just automatically tapping to grant permission out of habit.
3. BIOMETRICS AND ENCRYPTION
Two smaller Realme UI 2.0 (Android 11) security updates worth mentioning focus on biometrics and encryption. Biometric support in Realme UI 2.0—fingerprint and face unlock—has been extended to a wider range of devices, Google says, with more levels of authorization.

4. SCOPED STORAGE
Not very exciting from an end-user perspective, but important in the behind-the-scenes security of Realme UI 2.0 (Android 11), scoped storage means that apps have access to their own silos of data and aren’t necessarily allowed to access silos from other apps, which in theory should keep your sensitive information more secure.
5. SECURE IDENTITY CREDENTIALS
Realme UI 2.0 (Android 11) introduces special tools for managing secure identities on your phone—think electronic IDs or drivers licenses, for example, so your phone effectively becomes an ID badge.
