If you do decide to upgrade to Android 12, Realme has identified several common issues reported by users following the Android 12 upgrade:
- It may take longer to boot the first time, especially if you have a lot of third-party apps on your phone.
- To improve system efficiency and eliminate potential safety risks, the system will perform a series of actions such as application adaptation, background optimization, and security scanning, which may result in minor hanging and increased power consumption.
Note: However, these software issues will normally go away once a week has passed and your phone has adapted to the new system.
