Realme Reveals Android 10 Roadmap But Temporarily Postpones Latest ColorOS Update

Realme released its October ColorOS update for its mid-range Realme X handset last month. However, the roll-out of the latest update has been halted after reports of bugs.

In the latest post on the company’s forums, the Shenzhen-based company officially announced that it has postponed temporarily the staged rollout of the latest October software update, with version number RMX190EX 11.A.09, until the critical bug has been fixed. The Chinese firm has promised to update their post as soon as the new rollout is started. The company will also provide a manual download link for the Realme X users.

Realme developers revealed they have found a critical bug before the latest software update reached more Realme devices. However, the Realme developers haven’t provided a particular date or release window, when the software update is expected to be released.
