Realme ui 2.0- detailed review

 so finally we got to spend some time 

with real me ui 2.0 on our x50 pro 

and  we are going to be 

taking a look at the most 

important new features that real me is

brought to the table with real me ui 2.0

now guys disclaimer this version of real me ui

it is built on android 11 and that means

a lot of android 11 functionality

is baked in but we've discussed android

11 a lot

in older videos so i'm not going to

repeat myself with regards to android 11

features we're just going to be focusing

on

what new functionality realme's brought

to the table so without further ado

ash here you're watching c4 retech and

let's get started

cosmetic changes first let's start with

the lock screen well okay

not exactly the lock screen the

always-on part of the lock screen

jump into settings and we can see that

there are a lot of new options to choose

from there are different patterns

each with their individual customization

options like we can change colors

display the time as either

digital or analog even select what

information it gets to show

if custom patterns are what float your

boat that's here too

now if patterns aren't really your thing

you can opt for different styles of text

the combination of pictures and text

and of course the classic different

styles of analog

and digital clock faces now since we are

already

in the settings menu let me quickly show

you one more awesome customization

option here

dark mode looks amazing on amoled panels

right

now real me this time around gives us

three contrast options

uh to suit our tastes gentle is the

lightest of the lot

almost grayish maybe something i'd say

you can opt for

if you're using a phone with an lcd

display

then we have medium and finally enhanced

for pitch black

that's definitely the one you're going

to have to go with if your display is

amoled

10 off and pixels and all that dark mode

now uh can also adjust the wallpaper as

well as the icons to better fit the

theme

and the last toggle here it reduces

contrast so that the bright whites don't

blind you if you're using dark mode

in the night and the low light when you

just wake up or something

now moving on uh like with other custom

interfaces like

hey miui realme also lets you share

wi-fi credentials via qr code now and i

feel that's pretty cool because you

don't have to go around giving your

passwords out and given there are a lot

of iot devices these days

we have all of that pre-configured setup

so changing the passwords just for

security

that's very difficult these days because

say for example you have a smart home

setup

then you're going to have to reconfigure

everything if you change your wi-fi

password so

having a qr code option to share

credentials

i mean of course the best way to do it

would be to have

a guest network but if not this is a

good little

middle ground okay now on a similar note

let's jump into bluetooth settings under

advanced we can toggle on the display

codec standard

so one quick glance and you can tell if

your earphones are streaming using

aac or aptx hd neat right

now talking about sound here under sound

and vibration okay this is not really

about sound but

you know under sound and vibration

that's my segue you can think around

with a vibration intensity i love haptic

feedback

and i hate it when a certain brand cuts

it out of payment rangers but

story for another day now uh while

typing i actually

like haptic feedback a lot and with

third-party keyboards like swiftkey for

a long time

they've allowed us to change the

vibration intensity

but being built into the software is

always an option that's

nice to have and now let's quickly jump

to the home screen pulling down the

notification shade reveals a new

translucent look

we can actually make out the wallpaper

in the background the quick toggle icons\

they've also been pushed down just 

little bit

i'm guessing for easier single-handed

usage and that's not all

see the circle with the face on it this

lets you switch between

different user profiles this is one

feature that's usually missing on most

custom android scans

now given phones are pretty personal

devices i understand why they omit it

but if you if you're one of the niche uh

demographic who actually finds use from

this

then it's an option that's available and

then we have we also have get

system cloner so check this out uh blue

wallpaper right

now if i unlock scanning my thumb you're

going to see another profile one that

has this red wallpaper

unlocked with the index finger and the

blue wallpaper profile

these are basically two profiles and the

option to unlock them using different

fingerprints

it's just too sweet speaking of

fingerprints you guys notice the

fingerprint animations right

we get a lot more of them here from

under the personalization tab

so set up the theme change wallpaper

customize the always on display choose

between different icon styles app

layouts colors

text edge lighting and of course

fingerprint styles

there's even an option to change the

shape of the quick toggles here so a lot

of granular control has been provided

now some of these customization features

can be accessed directly from the home

screen itself

holding down on an empty space brings up

this menu and from here

we can choose all these different

options my favorite new home screen

feature though

it's gotta be the icon pull down gesture

so swiping up from the edges of the

screen will make all these icons come

down

and you can easily access them

one-handed now

given the growing screen sizes this is

such a well thought out implementation

one i can definitely see myself using

with multitasking you get to resize apps

into tiny mini window

and have them running to the side like

basically chat heads but with preview

now tap on it and you get to make them

float well not something we've never

seen before it's still

handy nonetheless the smart sidebar has

also received a small update

functionality wise everything here

remains the same no changes

but if you press the add button there's

a nice organized menu with tools and

apps divided into separate tabs

another area where we've gotten a minor

yet useful update is with the app drawer

we can hide manage and even sort apps by

alphabetical order install

install time or what's most used the

select function here

lets you choose a bunch of apps and

uninstall them all at once now for

phones

which do come with bloatware this is an

awesome option to have

uh this is one of the reasons why i

don't crib a lot about xiaomi's

bloatware especially when i import the

phone

uh because you can just select them all

and boom it's gone and now realme's got

that too

game space has also got been re-hauled

first there's

a new gamery look then we get three

performance modes and with supported

games

game space now lets you drop down the

resolution

this is quite exciting actually on

weaker hardware this should

still let you have a smooth gaming

experience albeit

at a loss of resolution the quick

startup option here

in theory it should make the most often

launched games

launch faster and this is something

we're going to have to test

next the photos up this is new road that

divides the pictures and videos into

easily accessible albums like favorites

people location etc

focus mode has also gotten a few new

tricks

uh by the way in case you didn't know

focus mode is basically real news

version of zen ui

zen mode i'm sorry what was i even

thinking zen mode

and it's gotten uh the original zen mode

feature with intense focus

so basically once it's turned on you

cannot return back to normal usage till

that timer expires

that said you can set exceptions that

bypass focus mode

so you can still choose to receiv

certain app notifications if you feel

they are super important

so maybe emails whatsapp but honestly

whatsapp just to fix the purpose that's

not all here behind the scenes realme ui

2.0 seems to be big on security

the pseudo base station blocking which

should technically reduce the number of

spam calls

and messages by identifying them and

letting you block them with a single tap

payment protection is also available

which is supposed to increase security

for online transactions

so these are real means new features

that

have come with real me ui 2.0

so what do you think about this do you

feel it's a good little feature set or

do you feel it's

very similar to what we've seen from a

different ui

you know the one i'm talking about if

you do leave a comment

and guys i'll also leave the eligibility

list on screen so if you have a realme

phone and you're wondering if your phone

is eligible for the update you can

actually figure that out
