Since its inception, Dark mode has become quite popular among smartphone users. Even I'm also using personally using most of the apps in the dark mode. It is pleasing to the eyes and is said to give a slightly better battery life.
In the new Realme UI 2.0, there is an improved and customizable dark mode you can use. You can now choose three types of dark modes from in the skin, enhanced (pure black), medium, and gentle (light gray).
Although it might not change the user experience much, it's good to have three different customizable options in the dark mode.

According to Madhav Sheth, Realme Mobiles CEO, the 'Sleep Capsule' is a 'self-developed' feature and will track your sleep cycle and daily health. As per the daily sleep cycle, the smartphone will analyze your sleeping patterns and reminds you to take a break or sleep.
