The Realme 8 Pro, which was released last week, is getting a new firmware update with the RMX3081 11 A.27 version number. After a build with version RMX3081 11 A.24 was rolled out before the launch, which included Starry Mode and Starry Timelapse features, this is the second software update.
The new build takes the Realme 8 Pro’s Android security patch level up to April 2021, which is remarkable considering that even Google’s Pixels are yet to obtain the April patch.
In addition, the firmware upgrades the watermark style and adds Hyper Motion Slo-Mo feature to the smartphone’s rear camera. It also adds Vi (Vodafone Idea) VoWiFi support to the Indian units. For more details, see the full changelog for the update below:
