In this guide, we will show you the steps to downgrade your Realme 8 from Android 12 to Android 11 [Realme UI 3.0 to 2.0]. The third iteration of the realme UI has bought quite a few noteworthy changes to the fore. These include the likes of redesigned icons, Quantum Animation Engine 3.0, Background stream, Flexible Windows optimization [earlier known as Flex Drop], Quick Launch, Battery Usage Chart, and a plethora of changes to the Camera, System, and Accessibility domain.

However, in spite of all the goodies attached, you might come across a few bugs and issues as well. Along the same lines, there could be a few apps that aren’t yet optimized with the latest OS build and hence might not function along the expected lines. Most of these bugs are only resolved in future OTAs, which might take anywhere between weeks to even months to arrive. So what else could be done during that time frame? Well, you could downgrade your Realme 8 from Android 12 to Android 11 [Realme UI 3.0 to 2.0] and get a bug-free ecosystem. Here’s how it could be carried out.
