There must be at least 5 GB of free storage on the device and the device must not be rooted. realme advises to back up personal data before proceeding with the process and says that there may be unpredictable effects on your phone which might affect day-to-day performance, but that’s something obvious considering these are Early Access builds. realme also warns that some functions may not operate properly because of third-party firmware incompatibility.
