As Google released the Android 14 operating system update last week, multiple other OEMs are now working on releasing the same update for their software skins. Vivo has now announced the latest FunTouch OS Android skin update, called FunTouch OS 14, which is based on Android 14. Here’s what it will offer: all the supported devices and the release timeline for the beta version.
FunTouch OS 14: New Features
FunTouch OS 14 focuses on improving memory management, multitasking capabilities, personalisation, privacy and security and offering new video editing tools. The OS update is set to deliver enhancements to the performance metrics with optimised RAM usage. A new RAM Saver feature adds up to 600 MB in available RAM space to devices with RAM configuration of 8GB and above.
Then there’s a new App Retainer feature, which ensures whitelisted apps that have not been closed manually are always restored to the last interface so users can easily continue where they left off.
Vivo has further added motion blur while closing or opening apps. There’s also optimisation for phones with a 60Hz display, where the new software-driven approach enhances the smoothness of displays by 18.7%. Another new feature introduced is the small window feature, where users can keep up to 12 small windows active in the background, and the OS offers support for side-swipe suspension, giving users more control.
For customisation, users can now personalise the clock style on the lock screen, with options to choose from three clock layout styles and eight font styles. New always on display styles and a new minimalist theme have also been introduced. Based on the Material You design, a new Monochrome theme called MY colour palette has been added. Additionally, this feature contributes to power saving by optimising the display for grayscale visuals, says the brand.
Next, users can now export videos in their original quality, supporting lossless export. There are customisable video quality settings, including resolutions up to 4K at 60FPS. Additionally, 25 filters have been added for enhanced video editing, all presented in improved thumbnails.
Then, a new Smart Mirroring feature allows users to share their screen without letting the notifications appear on the display where the content is being mirrored to. Furthermore, users’ hidden photos are now protected with an additional Password verification step. Multiple UI changes, such as the redesigned Quick settings panel, have also been made.
