Funtouch OS 15 update: New era of smooth
Funtouch OS 15 fully enhances the fluidity of Android with a 15% improved average app startup speed. Vivo’s operating system version exchanges Android algorithm Fair Scheduling with proprietary Priority Scheduling, so computing power always reaches the foreground processes first. So the user experience of faster, smoother transitions is guaranteed under heavy multitasking load.
The Memory Enhancement Technology has been optimized to give 40% more compression on zRAM, less consumption of GPU memory by background apps, which ensures seamless experience and use of multiple applications. Origin Animation in Vivo and the Lightning-Speed Engine have a deep influence on system responsiveness while further enhancing the smooth performance of animations of the system, with 20% fastened app startup time. It’s water-inspired interaction design.
Personalized like never before
Funtouch OS 15 brings with it a wide range of personalization options, now amounting to more than 3,800 redesigned elements like system colors, fonts, icons, and themes. Users can choose from nine general system themes, a variety of types of wallpapers, and new fingerprint recognition animations in order to ensure that their devices represent their individuality.
From customizable app icons to adjustable icon sizes and shapes, users have full control over how their digital space looks and feels, creating a clean and minimalistic yet unique user interface.
Boost productivity and gaming with new features
New tools such as AI Image Lab, which automatically allows users to heighten the quality of pictures or remove document shadows, will promise improvements in creativity, as well as productivity. The update also raises mobile gaming through an upgraded Ultra Game Mode, which offers an interface with a performance panel, game tools, and a Game Small Window feature that avails seamless multitasking during gameplay.
For productivity-conscious users, it now gets easier for cross-device collaboration with the optimized Link to Windows feature, so real-time content syncing and efficient file sharing between Vivo smartphones, iQOO smartphones, and PCs are made possible.
