Realme started off as a sub-brand of OPPO but soon after its formation, the company split from the parent company to operate independently. Starting operations from India, Realme has now established presence in several regions.
Although it is an independent brand, Realme is using a lot of resources from OPPO to keep its operations going. One of them is ColorOS, a custom Android skin from Chinese smartphone maker OPPO, which is also being used by Realme.
There were reports making rounds about Realme working on its own operating system named RealmeOS based on Android, which will look very close to the stock Android. When the company announced a closed beta testing for the Realme 3 Pro users in India, it was assumed to be for the upcoming RealmeOS.
However, if the latest information coming from Realme India CEO Madhav Sheth is to be believed, then the RealmeOS is not coming. Instead, the company will get its own branch of ColorOS with the upcoming major release — ColorOS 7.
Madhav Sheth has confirmed that the company’s smartphones will have an execlusive customized version of the ColorOS 7 that will be similar to the stock Android in terms of user interface. However, he has not shared more information about the same.
In the same AskMadhav Q&A session, he also confirmed that the company’s smartphones with quad-camera setup — Realme 5, 5 Pro, and XT will be getting video recording support with the ultra wide camera lens. He also hinted about the Realme Fitness Tracker getting launched in India pretty soon.
Coming to the upcoming ColorOS 7, there’s noting known about this custom user interface at this time. However, OPPO Vice President recently confirmed that the OPPO Reno 10X Zoom will be getting the ColorOS 7, which was also the first official confirmation from the Chinese company about the existence of ColorOS 7.
