Realme GT2 Pro gets Android 13

The Realme GT2 Pro is the company's top-tier smartphone for global markets so it's normal to lead the Android 13 update charge. The reports of Android 13 being delivered to GT2 Pro are all from India for the time being, but it should arrive globally soon.

The update itself weighs 5.5GB and brings a ton of new features and a new look that Realme calls Aquamorphic. It introduces new, more natural and pleasant animations, shadows, UI elements, etc. There are also improvements in terms of efficiency and usability, security and gaming. The latter comes in the form of HyperBoost GPA 4.0 engine to stabilize frame rate and balance performance and power consumption.

It's important to note that the update doesn't change the version of Realme's overlay, it's still Realme UI 3.0, but it's based on Android 13. And there's also the new October 2022 security patch on board. Check out the full changelog for more info:
