Android 14 is the buzzword of the smartphone and software community these days. Codenamed Upside Down Cake, the upcoming update will introduce multiple fun and interesting features to further improve the overall experience. Like last year, Google isn't planning a complete revamp of how users interact with their Android devices. Instead, the update will keep the fundamentals intact while improving the security and usability of the phones.
This approach has faced mixed criticism. However, it has been welcomed by the average user, who doesn't want to relearn using their smartphone — a gadget as important as breathing these days.
Realme, like any other smartphone maker, has plans to roll out the update to qualifying devices starting this Fall. This article will go over all the phones that are expected to receive Android 14.
Realme might start the Android 14 rollout process much sooner than others
Realme generally starts rolling out the latest Android versions much earlier than other Android smartphone manufacturers. Of course, the company isn't as prompt as Google. However, the Chinese tech giant pushed out the Android 13 update to its high-end devices as early as September 2022. Thus, it can be safely assumed that Realme will be following a similar trend this time around.
Android 14 is still months away. Google will shed more light on the next version of the popular open-source OS in the upcoming I/O event scheduled for May 10, 2023. However, judging by Realme's previous software support promises, we can draw up a pretty accurate list of the phones that might be updated.
