Chinese OEM Realme has now become one of the most sought after brands across the globe. Realme started off with budget-centric and mid-range devices. Now, the brand is all into crafting some breathtaking flagships in the market. Realme devices offer a relatively higher value for money compared to other devices. Realme grew into fame in a very short span of time, and now it has a huge fanbase around the world. This has evoked the growth of a good developer community support for Realme devices. ColorOS is not pretty much loved by users, and the Realme UI also doesn’t make this relatively better.
This makes good developer support for Realme devices much needed. Realme users can now enjoy the benefits of custom ROMs and all those cool features. Realme X2 Pro is one of the very first killer flagships by Realme. This is a really powerful device with a beautiful design as well. The device currently runs on the latest Realme UI based on Android 10. But, you can enjoy flashing other amazing custom ROMS if you aren’t satisfied with the stock OS.
Realme X2 Pro Custom ROMs and Recoveries:
In case you don’t know, Custom ROMs and kernels are OS, which can be installed on any phone to get new features and better performance that is not allowed by the stock OS of a device. You can easily flash a Custom OS or kernel using a custom recovery like TWRP, PitchBlack, OrangeFox or any other. The Realme X2 Pro has now got a couple of Custom ROMs and recoveries under its sleeves.
The X2 Pro is one of the most amazing flagships and still a powerful one to date. The device itself comes with a beautiful 6.5 inch Super AMOLED display with a 90 Hz refresh rate.
