Over the last few weeks, several manufacturers have released the first stable Android 13 update for their flagship devices. Shortly after Google released the update for the Pixel lineup, OnePlus rolled out OxygenOS 13 based on Android 13 for the OnePlus 10 Pro. Samsung followed suit with the first stable One UI 5 update for the Galaxy S22 series earlier this month. Now, Realme is joining the fray with the first stable Realme UI 3.0 update based on Android 13 for the Realme GT 2 Pro.

The Android 13 update for the Realme GT 2 Pro has started rolling out to users in several regions, according to a recent announcement on Realme's Community forums. The update (firmware version RMX2156_11.C.08) brings most of the features Google introduced with Android 13, along with a couple of additions from Realme. These include the new Aquamorphic Design that Realme's software skin shares with OxygenOS and ColorOS, Home Screen improvements and optimizations, and a new privacy feature that can automatically pixelate profile pictures and display names in chat screenshots.
