The next step for Realme was software-related, as its phones initially ran Oppo's ColorOS, but have since shifted to Realme UI. Guess what? The same is happening with iQOO. All iQOO devices launched prior to the iQOO 3 5G ran vivo's Funtouch OS on top of Android, but the iQOO 3 5G debuted the brand new iQOO UI. And this will not stay exclusive to...
