Wrap Up
If you are in Stock firmware, Use the Internal Memory method. It is comfortable and safe; You can update it like a Regular OTA Update. If you moved to a different region other than your purchased area, you could try a VPN to get the update. Don’t download any third-party apps; sometimes, it may trigger the updates process. In my opinion, Realme UI OS is better to compare with some other Custom Skin OS like MIUI. So try to use Realme U1 Android 10 OS instead of a Custom OS. But the decision is your choice…:). Realme is slowly rolling out the Android 10 updates as per the road map, and we can expect the updates on other devices soon.
