According to a FoneArena report, Realme UI 7.0 introduces a refreshed Light Glass Design that brings layered transparency and depth inspired by real glass textures.

A redesigned Breathing Dock refines layout spacing for a cleaner, more structured appearance.

The update will reportedly extend connectivity beyond Android, supporting iPhone and Apple Watch Connect for call, message, and health data sync across devices. On the AI front, AI Notify Brief is likely to deliver summarised daily updates, AI Framing Master might offer real-time composition tips for photos, and AI Gaming Coach is said to optimise performance by studying user behaviour and gameplay patterns.

Performance and Productivity

Powered by the new Flux Engine, Realme UI 7.0 will reportedly be up to 15 per cent faster in responsiveness, it is said to get a 22 per cent boost in overall performance, and offer 29 per cent smoother app scrolling. The improved Multi-task Sidebar might allow quick access to apps and tools during active sessions, while Seamless Animations is likely to ensure fluid and natural transitions across the interface.

According to FoneArena, the upgraded Flux Theme 2.0 will enhance personalisation with large-text themes, a panoramic Always-On Display, and support for Live Photos and video wallpapers with AI-powered depth effects. Users might also be able to customise fingerprint animations, resize or recolour interactive desktop icons, add new widgets, and choose from multiple lock screen layouts.
