Realme has officially unveiled its latest user interface, Realme UI 7.0, based on Android 16. The new UI promises a host of improvements, including a revamped design, enhanced performance, and intelligent AI-powered features. The Realme GT 8 Pro will be the first device to ship with Realme UI 7.0 out of the box. A phased rollout to other Realme devices, starting with the Realme GT 7 Pro, is scheduled to begin in November 2025.

Design and Interface

Realme UI 7.0 introduces a new "Light Glass Design". This design language incorporates transparency, depth, and fluidity, aiming for a visually appealing and immersive user experience. Inspired by Apple's Liquid Glass aesthetic, the new UI features redesigned app icons called "Ice Cube Icons". These icons sport a square shape with rounded edges for a more tactile appearance. The "Misty Glass Control Centre" provides a frosted, semi-transparent background to the quick settings panel. A new "Breathing Dock" dynamically adjusts the layout, improving flexibility when elements shift on the screen. The update also includes redesigned widgets and expanded options for lock screen personalization.

Key Features and Enhancements

• Flux Theme 2.0: Realme UI 7.0 brings the Flux Theme 2.0, offering refreshed themes with bolder text and a panoramic Always-On Display. It also adds support for Live Photos and video wallpapers, enhanced by an AI-powered Dynamic Depth of Field effect. Users can further personalize their devices with custom fingerprint animations.
• AI-Powered Tools: The UI incorporates several AI-driven features. The "AI Notify Brief" compiles non-urgent alerts into concise summaries displayed twice daily. The "AI Framing Master" assists users with framing suggestions when capturing photos. An "AI Gaming Coach" offers gameplay insights for an enhanced gaming experience.
• Cross-Device Connectivity: Realme UI 7.0 enhances cross-device connectivity, enabling Realme phones to link with iPhones and Apple Watches. Users can view incoming calls and messages directly on their Realme handsets, along with synchronized health data from linked devices.
• Multi-task Sidebar: A handy Multi-task Sidebar offers quick access to tools and apps without interrupting the current screen.
• Performance Improvements: The "Flux Engine" provides under-the-hood optimizations, which improve overall system responsiveness by 15%, make app scrolling 29% smoother, and increase daily performance by 22%. New "Seamless Animations" contribute to a fluid user experience.
