How long do Realme phones get updates?
Realme's flagship GT 7 series now offers four major Android upgrades and six years of security patches, a clear step up from the GT 6's roughly three years of support. Realme historically lagged, often shipping number- and C-series phones with just two upgrades and three years of security. It has since rolled a three-upgrade / four-year policy to mainstream numbered phones, while budget C-series devices still get the least. Realme isn't sold through official US retail, so these commitments target India, Southeast Asia, and Europe.
