In a post on X, Realme India's official account confirmed that the Realme 16 Pro and 16 Pro+ will now receive four years of Android OS updates and six years of security patches. At launch, the company had promised three years of Android updates and four years of security support.
Thanks to the way Google's for years now been deconstructing Android and pulling OS-level pieces out of the operating system itself - so they exist as regular ol' apps and can consequently be updated quickly, frequently, and in a way that reaches everyone instantly, regardless of what phone or carrier they're using - even Android phones from eight years ago get updates numerous times a year that are all virtually equivalent to an entire iOS operating system rollout.
