Most of the Specs, including RAM, Processor, and Camera, are enhanced in this mobile. Both mobiles received the Color OS 6.1 based on the Pie 9.0 version. We all waiting for Color OS 7, which is said to be the near Stock Android. If it is true when they released, Realme will become the most Important phone in Android History with Reasonable prices like Xiaomi.

Wrap Up
If you are in Stock firmware, Use the Internal Memory method. It is comfortable and safe; You can update like a Regular OTA Update. If you moved to a different region other than your purchased area, you could try with a VPN to get the update. But if you were already using Custom OS or Rooted devices, You can try TWRP Method. Don’t download any third-party apps; sometimes, it may trigger the updates process. In my opinion, Color OS is better to compare with some other Custom Skin OS like MIUI. So try to use this OS instead of a Custom OS. But the decision is your choice…:)

Hi, can the April 2020 global rom update at the Realme website be used to change my realme x2 China version phone? As stated by others, I hate this Chinese version, when I’m browsing the net, it directs me to its Chinese browser even if I open Google chrome.
For this, you don’t need to flash the firmware. Reset defaults in settings—setup your favorite browser.
si tengo twrp y la ozip oficial pero ademas tengo magisk y quiero regresar a la ozip oficial no tengo riesgo de quedar con mi x2 pro CN como un ladrillo? ese es mi miedo.
Puede actualizar la recuperación de existencias utilizando TWRP con el firmware oficial de existencias. Pero, después de eso, perderá la recuperación de TWRP.
Hi Selva,
X2 user from Malaysia here, using X2 with CN rom running on RMX1991_11_A.14.
How is t possible to change it to some global rom. The Chinese version is not bad. But I have lots of notification problems like no icon. It’s difficult.
Thank you in advance
It is experimental. Chinese ROM devices are not yet compatible with the Global ROM. You have to unlock the bootloader to do this. But, We can’t guarantee the outcome. So, it is better to stay with the current ROM, Until some developers make Mod ROMs.
