The Realme 3 Pro is getting a new update. It brings several new features to the smartphone and also comes with the latest security patch. 

Perhaps the most exciting feature the update brings to the Snapdragon 710-powered device is support for 240fps slow-motion recording. New apps are also being added, including a theme store to download cool themes, wallpapers, and icon packs.  

To give you more options other than the Play Store, the update also adds the App Market, a place to download more apps; and Game Center, which is another app store but as the name suggests, you get to download a bunch of games. Do note that these apps are only available in some regions. 

Some areas will also get a Realme Account feature which should be similar to what you get when you set up a Mi account on Xiaomi devices. 

Here is a complete list of everything the Realme 3 Pro update brings. 

System 

  • Android Security Patch Level: June 5th, 2019. 

  • Add swipe gestures from both sides in navigation mode. 

  • Add lock screen magazine function(some regions).

  • Add app market (some regions) 

  • Add theme store (some regions) 

  • Add game center (some regions) 

Camera 

  • Add 240fps slow motion function 

Another feature that's added to the smartphone is a new swipe-based gesture. It should allow users to navigate the phone by way of a simple swipe from the sides. An example is swiping from the bottom left or right of the screen and holding to switch to the previous app. 

Released in April, the Realme 3 Pro is a waterdrop notch smartphone with a 6.3-inch FHD+ display. It is powered by Snapdragon 710 processor and has a 4GB/6GB of RAM and 64GB/128GB of storage. It has a 16MP + 5MP dual camera setup on its rear while a 25MP camera is in front for selfies. The phone has a fingerprint scanner, a 4045mAh battery, and support for VOOC 3.0 20W fast charging. 

According to our benchmarks, the Realme 3 Pro is one of the fastest budget phones available in the market today, reaching single- and multi-core CPU scores of 1,441 and 5,824 in the Geekbench 4 test. In China, the Realme 3 Pro is being sold as the Realme X Lite. 

Realme is gradually rolling out the update, but if you can't wait to get your hands on it, you can download it manually and install it.
