Realme is a sub-brand that spun off from OPPO, and the Realme UI it runs is essentially a reskinned version of ColorOS. Therefore, the process of installing Binance is almost identical to OPPO: disable Pure Mode, allow the browser to install unknown apps, and adjust background strategies. The entire process takes about 4 minutes. This article provides specific instructions for Realme's unique gaming mode and power-saving strategies.

The Relationship Between Realme and OPPO
Realme spun off from OPPO as an independent sub-brand in 2018, focusing on the mid-to-low-end cost-effective market, and is particularly popular in India, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. In terms of the system:
- Realme UI: Customized based on ColorOS, with an identical underlying structure.
- The system version number updates synchronously with ColorOS (Realme UI 6.0 = ColorOS 15).
- The built-in app store is the "Realme App Market," not the OPPO App Market.
When it comes to installing Binance, the steps for Realme and OPPO are almost exactly the same.
Complete Process for Installing Binance on Realme
Step 1: Disable Pure Mode
Path for Pure Mode in Realme UI 6.0 (equivalent to ColorOS 15):
- "Settings" → "Password & Security" → "System Security"
- Find "Pure Mode"
- Turn off the switch
The path differs for Realme UI 5.0 and earlier versions:
- Realme UI 5: "Settings" → "Security" → "More Security Settings" → "Pure Mode"
- Realme UI 4 and earlier: No Pure Mode, skip this step directly.
If you cannot find it, simply search "Pure Mode" in the top search bar of Settings.
When disabling it, the system will pop up a prompt stating "Disabling Pure Mode may pose risks," just tap "Continue to disable."
Step 2: Download the Official APK
Open Realme's built-in browser or Chrome (which needs to be installed from the Realme App Market). The Realme browser in Indian/Southeast Asian versions is a reskinned Opera, so Opera-specific ad pop-ups might appear when downloading the APK; just ignore them.
Visit the Binance official website, enter the download page, and select Android. The APK is about 53 MB. If it prompts "This type of file may harm your device" during the download, tap "Continue downloading."
The file is saved in the "File Manager" → "Downloads" directory by default.
Step 3: Allow Browser to Install Unknown Apps
Tap binance.apk to start the installation, and Realme UI will pop up:
"For security reasons, your phone is currently not allowed to install unknown apps from this source."
Operation:
- Tap "Settings"
- Enter the "Install unknown apps" permission page
- Find the browser you just used
- Turn on "Allow app installs"
- Return to continue installation
Step 4: Complete the Installation
After authorization, return to the installation interface and tap "Install." The progress bar on Realme UI takes about 15-25 seconds to complete. The yellow Binance B icon will appear on your desktop.
Step 5: Adjust Background and Power Saving Strategies
Realme's background management is as strict as OPPO's. Configuration steps:
- "Settings" → "Battery" → "App Battery Management" (or "Power Saving and Performance")
- Find Binance
- Turn off "Smart Background Freeze"
- Turn on "Allow Background Activity"
- Turn off "Auto Optimize"
Realme's unique "Super Power Saving Mode": If Super Power Saving is turned on, all non-system APPs will be frozen. Binance's pushes and market refreshes will be interrupted. It is recommended to turn off Super Power Saving when you need to view Binance.
Differences Among Realme Models
| Model | System | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Realme GT Neo 7 / GT 7 | Realme UI 6 | Same process |
| Realme 14 Pro | Realme UI 6 | Same process |
| Realme Narzo Series (India) | Realme UI 5/6 | Indian version, Play Store available |
| Realme C Series (Entry-level) | Realme UI Go | Simplified version, path slightly deeper |
| Realme Pad 2 / Pad Mini | Realme UI Pad | Tablet version, identical process |
Indian and Southeast Asian versions of Realme: These international versions come pre-installed with Google Play, allowing you to search for and install Binance directly from the Play Store just like international Samsung devices, without needing direct APK installation. How to check: If there is a Google account login step during the startup wizard, it's an international version.
Some Pitfalls Specific to Realme
Game Space on the GT Series
The Realme GT Neo series focuses on gaming performance, and its built-in "Game Space" freezes all non-whitelist APPs during gameplay. If you rely on Binance's price alerts while playing games, you must add Binance to the Game Space whitelist:
- Open "Game Space"
- Settings → Do Not Disturb Management
- Allow Binance push notifications
Glance Lock Screen on Indian Realme
The Indian version of Realme comes pre-installed with the Glance lock screen content feed, which pushes a large amount of news and ads when enabled by default. These pushes will drown out Binance's price alerts. It is recommended to turn off Glance in the settings: "Settings" → "Wallpaper" → Turn off "Glance for Realme."
Tight Memory on the Realme C Series
Entry-level models like Realme C31, C33, and C55 only have 3-4GB of RAM, making the Binance APK installation susceptible to being interrupted by LMK (Low Memory Killer). The solution is the same as for low-end Redmi devices: Restart → Clear Background → Airplane Mode → Reinstall.
Frequently Asked Questions for Realme Users
Q: Can I find Binance in Realme's app store?
Binance is not available in the App Market for Chinese domestic Realme. The Indian and Southeast Asian versions of Realme come pre-installed with the Play Store, where it can be searched. Users in mainland China must proceed with direct APK installation.
Q: Is Realme UI really identical to ColorOS?
The underlying architecture, kernel, permission system, and installation process are completely identical. The differences lie only in the UI style, pre-installed app lists, and theme resources. An APK you can install on OPPO can also be installed on Realme, and vice versa.
Q: Will the performance mode of Realme GT Neo 7 make Binance run faster?
Performance mode mainly affects CPU scheduling and offers limited improvement to the Binance APP experience (Binance does not require high performance). The biggest difference when turned on is that swiping through K-line charts is slightly smoother. For daily use, it is perfectly adequate without turning on performance mode.
Q: Can Realme tablets install Binance?
Yes. Realme Pad 2 and Pad Mini both use the tablet version of Realme UI, and the installation process is identical. Binance K-line charts are clearer on the large tablet screen, but the APP lacks specific tablet optimization and is merely stretched proportionally.
Q: Can a Realme bought in India still be used in China?
Yes. As long as your Realme is an Indian version (Google Play pre-installed), you can still search for and install Binance in the Play Store even when using it in China. However, the Indian Play Store might delist Binance due to local regulations; in that case, simply use the direct APK installation.
Q: What is the relationship between Realme and "Zhenwo"?
"Zhenwo" is Realme's official brand name in China. Zhenwo phones = Realme phones; the system, installation process, and all functions are completely identical. It's merely a localized brand name difference.
Conclusion
The process of installing Binance on Realme is almost identical to OPPO: Disable Pure Mode + Allow Unknown Sources + Adjust Background + Complete Installation. Indian and Southeast Asian Realme users are the luckiest, as they can simply use the Play Store. Users in mainland China need to proceed with direct APK installation, which takes about 4 minutes in total. GT series gamers should remember to add Binance to the Game Space whitelist, while low-spec C series users should restart and clear the background before installing. Realme UI is essentially ColorOS, so various details can refer to OPPO's settings.
