Realme Pad had been officially announced at the end of last year and also brought to Italy a few days later, but it had – rightly – made everyone turn up their noses due to a questionable decision by Realme, which fortunately has now decided to retrace his steps.

A representative of Realme also confirmed another relevant detail: Realme Pad will be the recipient of a software support standard with security patches guaranteed for three years.
In further confirmation of the turnaround, from its page FAQ, any reference to the failure to release software updates for Realme Pad has been removed.
In short, if you were evaluating this tablet and the policy relating to (non) updates had made you desist, now you can consider it again. If so, here it is some offer:
