realme 10 Series to receive to 3 years of software support inclusive of any needed major updates!

The three smartphones in the realme 10 Series will receive up to 3 years of software support inclusive of any needed major updates.

The standard version

realme 10 Series gets 3 years of updates!

The included smartphones are namely realme 10, realme 10 Pro 5G, and realme 10 Pro+ 5G.

To recap, the realme 10 uses a 6.43-inch 90Hz FHD+ Super AMOLED, 6nm MediaTek Helio G99 SoC, 8GB RAM, up to 256GB storage, 5,000mAh battery w/ 33W SuperVOOC, 50MP+ 2MP monochrome + LED flash, and 16MP selfie shooter.

The Pro variant

The Pro version has a 6.72-inch 120Hz FHD+ LCD screen, 6nm Snapdragon 695 5G SoC, 8GB RAM, 128GB storage, 5,000mAh battery w/ 33W fast charging, 108MP + 2MP + LED flash, and 16MP selfie.

The OLED display of the Pro+ 

Meanwhile, the Pro+ edition has 6.76-inch Double-Reinforced Glass curved OLED with FHD+ resolution, 120Hz, 6nm 2.5GHz MTK Dimensity 920 5G SoC, 8GB or 12GB RAM, 256 storage, 5,000mAh battery w/ USB-C, 108MP + 8MP ultra-wide + 2MP macro and 16MP selfie snapper.

Anyway, previously the brand only follows Google mandated 2 years of updates for their entry-level and midrange offerings.

We've seen a few upper mid-range who got more than 2 years too with the likes of the GT series and X series however most of them are priced at around PHP 25K+ during their launch.

This is something new for the phone maker and it's nice to see that they are stepping up their game in the mid-range segment and following the footstep of their sister brands with a promise of further updates as well.

Right now both OPPO and OnePlus committed 4 years of security updates on select smartphones (flagships).

On the other hand, Samsung also did the same but again this is on the higher-end phones. Meanwhile, Nokia is also consistent with its updates too.

Hopefully, more brands start doing this as software support helps maintain the smoothness of smartphones as well as protect them from unwanted hacks or malicious cyber attacks.
