So Google have made 4 improvements to real-time reports

Now discussing the improvements in depth
Real-time Events Reports
With this feature you can now filter on event categories too. Previously you were just able to see the top level events. To see the report, click on Real-Time and then click on the Events Section. Now you will be able to see all event category and event actions. This will tell the source of visitors which you desired to see when setting up the filters.
Real-time from different devices
There are variety of different screens in this world which includes desktops, tablets and mobiles. Now you can see from which devise your visitors are accessing your site in real-time. You can filter your real-time results by devices when you are present in the content report.
Creating shortcuts for your important real-time segments
I actually hate when every time I have to setup the filters. Now the third very nice improvement which I personally loved is that we can now create shortcut to store favorite segments. The next time I come, I can open up shortcuts from the left navigation menu and can access to any previously saved shortcut.
Comparing real-time vs. overall data
Comparing page views of your segmented visitors with overall traffic is another improvement, providing convenience to see quick comparison trends. Considering an example here, let’s suppose you publish something new, and then in your filers select the “mobile” device. Why because mobile traffic is much faster than any other device. So you can see the initial traffic coming from mobile devices.
So let’s start playing with these cool new features.
