iQOO, a popular brand known for its high-performance smartphones, has announced the release of Funtouch OS 15, its latest operating system update based on Android 15. The iQOO 12 will be the first device to feature this cutting-edge software, offering users a more seamless and personalized mobile experience. Funtouch OS 15 promises improvements in smoothness, performance, and efficiency, along with a host of new features focused on photography, gaming, and productivity.

Enhanced Performance and Fluidity

The highlight of Funtouch OS 15 is its promise of increased speed and fluidity. The system introduces a new "Priority Scheduling" model, replacing Android’s "Fair Scheduling" system. This allows the device to allocate more computing power to the apps you’re actively using, speeding up app openings by 15% even under heavy usage.

In addition, the Memory Enhancement Technology optimises how the phone handles memory. With a 40% faster compression rate, users can run multiple apps without worrying about lag or slowdowns. The GPU memory consumption has also been reduced, leading to smoother performance across the board. Furthermore, the unique "Lightning-Speed Engine" enhances app opening speeds by 20%, while the Aqua Dynamic Effect adds fluid, nature-inspired animations for a more immersive interaction.

Personalised Design Options

Funtouch OS 15 introduces over 3,800 customisable design elements, giving users control over the appearance of their phones. This includes new system colors, fonts, icons, and even wallpapers, which can be static, immersive, or video-based. Users can also tweak the size and shape of app icons and choose from four new fingerprint recognition animations, making the phone’s interface more personalised.

Photography and Gaming Upgrades

For photography enthusiasts, Funtouch OS 15 brings an AI-powered "Image Lab," which automatically enhances photos and helps remove shadows from scanned documents. Gaming fans will appreciate the upgraded Ultra Game Mode. This mode includes a performance panel, game tools, and the "Game Small Window" feature, which allows users to check social media or tweak settings like refresh rate without leaving the game.

Boosting Productivity

Funtouch OS 15 enhances cross-device collaboration with its improved "Link to Windows" feature, enabling users to sync their iQOO device with a PC, manage files, and view recent photos seamlessly. The revamped S-Capture tool allows screen recording with added features like annotations, microphone control, and system sound recordings.

With its performance, personalisation, and productivity boosts, Funtouch OS 15 is set to offer iQOO 12 users an upgraded, smoother experience.
