This user manual provides you with everything you need to know about realme UI 3.0.
realme UI 3.0 uses smart technologies to deliver an easy and smooth experience. A new
streamlined design makes every scenario simple while ensuring your security.
(Features vary slightly depending on the model and country. Please refer to the actual features
of your device.)
Get started
You can insert two SIM cards into your realme phone if it supports dual SIM dual standby
(DSDS).
You can set the default number to be used for making calls or choose a number when making
a call. Similarly, you can choose which SIM card is to be used for mobile data.
Use the secondary data SIM for mobile data during calls
If you use the primary SIM card for Internet access, this feature lets you use your secondary
SIM card's data temporarily while you are on a VoLTE call using your secondary SIM card.
This ensures an uninterrupted network connection during the call. When the call ends, it will
switch back to the primary SIM card.
Path: Settings - Mobile network - Advanced settings - Use mobile data during calls.
Manage mobile data
Allow your apps to use Wi-Fi, mobile data, or both for Internet access, or do not allow apps to
connect to a network. You can also check the total mobile data usage of your system and apps.
Tap the Wi-Fi network and sign in or complete the authentication steps.
• Add a network:
If you do not find the network you want to connect to in the network list, tap "Add network"
and enter the network name and password.
Once your device successfully connects to a Wi-Fi network, it will automatically connect to the
Wi-Fi network whenever the network is available, without needing you to enter the password
again. If you do not want to connect to a Wi-Fi network automatically, tap the icon to the right
of the Wi-Fi network and remove it. Check and manage saved networks in "Advanced settings".
To share a Wi-Fi account and password with another phone, open the Wi-Fi details page and
tap "Wi-Fi QR code" to display a QR code. On the other phone, go to the "Wi-Fi" page and tap
the button in the upper right corner to scan the QR code. The phone will automatically connect
to the Wi-Fi network.
Turn on "Auto connect to the best Wi-Fi". Your phone will monitor the quality of the Wi-Fi
networks and automatically connect to the best network.
You can also turn on "Auto switch to mobile network". When all current Wi-Fi networks are
slow and your mobile data is enabled, your phone will automatically switch to the mobile
network.
Path: Settings - Wi-Fi - Wi-Fi Assistant - Auto connect to the best Wi-Fi.
Dual channel acceleration uses both mobile data and Wi-Fi for smoother and faster Internet
access.
Apps that support dual channel acceleration are displayed on the page.
Dual Wi-Fi acceleration allows your phone to switch between two Wi-Fi channels seamlessly
for faster Internet access.
Note:
There are two Wi-Fi hotspots: a 2.4 GHz hotspot and a 5 GHz hotspot, which can send and
receive data independently without interfering with each other.
The two hotspots can have the same or different names. They can share the same router or
connect to different routers.
realme UI 3.0 comes preinstalled with a Passpoint certificate, which allows direct connections
with hundreds of branded Wi-Fi networks. Discovering and connecting to networks are
automatic and do not require a password. Wi-Fi encryption and two-way authentication
between your phone and the server also ensure connection security and prevent information
leakage.
Tethering
• Personal hotspot
Go to "Settings - Connection & sharing - Personal hotspot", and turn on "Personal hotspot".
Nearby devices can then discover your personal hotspot. Note: Sharing a personal hotspot may
consume more data and battery. Your personal hotspot will be turned off automatically when
it is not connected to any device for 10 minutes.
In "Connection management", you can block devices, set the maximum number of connections,
and limit the mobile data usage.
• USB tethering
Connect your phone to a PC with a data cable and go to "Settings - Connection & sharing".
Turn on "USB tethering". The PC will automatically identify and use your phone's mobile data.
• Bluetooth tethering
You can share your network with other devices via Bluetooth.
For example, to share your realme 8 Pro's network connection with a "realme" phone, pair the
devices via Bluetooth.
On the "realme" phone, open the "realme" page and tap the paired device name. The "realme"
phone can then use the realme 8 Pro's network connection.
To stop sharing, go to "Settings - Connection & sharing" and turn off "Bluetooth tethering".
Alternatively, go to "Settings - Bluetooth", tap the paired device, and turn off "Internet Access".
NFC
Near-field communication (NFC) enables contactless exchange of data over short distances.
You can then use contactless payment and Android Beam to pay or transfer data.
Wireless transmission
• Screencast
You can then display your phone's content on a large screen. Make sure your phone and the
large screen device are connected to the same network or the wireless display feature is enabled
on the large screen device.
• Screen sharing
• Printing
VPN

App cloner is only available for some apps and phones. If it does not work, the app or phone
does not support this feature. Data cannot be transferred between a cloned app and a PC. Up to
two apps can be cloned at the same time.
Path: Go to "Settings - Apps - App cloner" and choose an app to clone. Apps such as WhatsApp,
Facebook Messenger, LINE, Facebook, imo, Instagram, Skype, and Telegram can be cloned.
Multitask with Flexible windows
Flexible windows (formerly called FlexDrop) of realme UI 3.0 has been optimized to allow
you to open multiple app windows on your phone through simple gestures, so you can make
full use of the large screen to multitask for work and entertainment easily and efficiently.
To open an app in a floating window, swipe up in the app and hold at the top of the screen.
You can tap menu options in the floating window to switch the app to full screen or to close
the window. You can also drag an edge of the floating window to change its size. When
minimized, the floating window turns into a mini window, where the elements are not tappable.
When maximized, the floating window is displayed in full screen. You can drag files from the
floating window into another full-screen app to easily transfer the files.
For example, to record the story behind a photo in Photos, you can display the photo in a
floating window, create a note, and then directly drag the photo into the note. The whole process
can be done in one go and is more direct and smoother than adding the photo into a note in
Notes.
A mini window displays app content in real time. A single tap on the center of the mini window
will turn it into a floating window, and a double tap will switch it to full screen.
If you switch a video in landscape mode to a floating window, the video will continue to play
in landscape mode.
Flexible windows help you multitask more efficiently. For example, you can chat while
watching a show, or check documents while having an online meeting. In addition, you can
find the last two apps that you opened in a floating window in Smart Sidebar so you can quickly
switch to the apps when needed.
Battery usage
Go to "Settings - Battery - Battery Usage" to view the details of your apps' power usage for
today, yesterday, and the day before, how long an app has run in the foreground and background,
and how much power it consumes.
Optimization Standby
When you are sleeping, your phone will enter a low-power state, which uses less power and
pushes notifications less frequently.
Your phone will run in a high performance state but consume more power.
Super power saving mode
When your phone runs low on battery, Super power saving mode extends its battery life through
strict power-saving strategies such as limiting the number of running apps and clearing
background apps to give you peace of mind.
* The test data for the Super power saving mode comes from reports provided by the TÜV

intelligently adjust the CPU, GPU, RAM and network frequency according to the game
scenario, ensuring the game runs smoothly at all times while also reducing power consumption.
Want to save power? Or have a smoother gaming experience? Choose the gaming mode which
is just right for you. Games+ provides three different modes for you to choose from. Just tap
on the one you want.
Pro Gamer mode improves performance, the frame rate and touch response, further enhancing
your gaming experience. However, it increases power consumption as well. It is recommended
to use this mode in competitive multiplayer games.
