Vivo has officially unveiled Funtouch OS 14, the latest version of its custom Android skin, set to accompany Android 14 on the brand’s smartphones. Funtouch OS 14 brings several significant new features to the table, with a primary focus on improving storage management, enhancing multitasking capabilities, and offering extensive customization options.
Here are some of the key highlights of Funtouch OS 14:
Smooth Envision: Funtouch OS 14 introduces a feature called Smooth Envision, which optimizes the entire operating system for fast and fluid performance. This optimization aims to reduce unnecessary processes and improve RAM management. The result is a smoother and more responsive user experience.
Interface Keeper: This feature allows users to resume their previous app sessions right where they left off. It ensures a seamless transition between tasks and applications, enhancing overall usability.
Motion Blur: Funtouch OS 14 utilizes Motion Blur to create more natural, visually pleasing animations. This feature enhances the user interface’s aesthetics, making interactions with the device more enjoyable.
Multitasking Improvements: The update places a strong emphasis on multitasking. Users can now keep up to 12 apps open in small windows simultaneously. This feature allows for efficient multitasking, such as running Google Maps while chatting on WhatsApp, with both apps accessible side by side or in a corner of the screen.
Customization: Funtouch OS 14 offers extensive customization options. Users can personalize the lock screen by changing the clock design and style. New themes provide a unique aesthetic, and the ‘My color palette’ theme, inspired by Android’s Material You, extracts colors from the wallpaper to create a cohesive color palette throughout the interface.
Video Editing Tools: To facilitate video editing on mobile devices, Funtouch OS 14 includes enhancements to the video editing tool. Users can now export videos in their original quality, with resolutions up to 4K at 60 FPS. Additionally, there are 25 new filters, and gallery browsing and viewing have been improved.
Privacy Enhancements: Recognizing the importance of digital security, Funtouch OS 14 allows screen sharing with other devices, such as computers or TVs, without revealing the owner’s personal information through notifications. The gallery also includes a password protection system for hidden photos.
Funtouch OS 14 will roll out alongside Android 14 in the coming months. The release will be gradual, starting with the brand’s latest high-end smartphones and eventually reaching other compatible models. These enhancements promise to deliver a smoother, more customizable, and secure user experience for Vivo smartphone users.
