Vivo has unveiled the FunTouch OS 15 Beta rollout timeline for its X-series, Y-series and T-series smartphones. Meanwhile, the company also officially announced the next major update for its Android-based skin, where FunTouch OS 15 is claimed to deliver smoothness, a suite of new personalization options, and optimized features focused on photography, gaming, and productivity.
FunTouch OS 15: New Features
Based on Android 15, FunTouch OS 15 improves the overall fluidity of the Android system and animated elements. By replacing Android’s existing Fair Scheduling algorithm with vivo’s proprietary Priority Scheduling model, Funtouch OS 15 prioritizes computing power for foreground processes. This results in a 15% increase in average App startup speed, even under overload scenarios, as per Vivo.
To further enhance performance, the new Memory Enhancement Technology employs an optimized zRAM memory compression algorithm, resulting in a 40% increase in compression speed. Additionally, it reduces GPU memory consumption for background applications, enabling users to run multiple apps simultaneously without compromising the device’s smoothness.
With 3,800+ redesigned design elements, including updated system colors, fonts, icons, and illustrations, Funtouch OS 15 offers a clean and minimalistic aesthetic. Users can further personalize their devices with a wide array of options, including nine general system themes and a variety of Static, Immersive, and Video Wallpapers. Four new fingerprint recognition animations, customizable app icon styles, and adjustable icon shapes and sizes have also been added.

New AI features include AI Image Lab which allows users to automatically enhance photo quality and remove shadows from documents using AI-powered tools. For avid mobile gamers, the upgraded Ultra Game Mode introduces a convenient sidebar with a performance panel, game tools, and the Game Small Window feature. This allows for quick access to social apps and easy setting adjustments, such as the screen Refresh Rate and touch sampling rate.
In terms of productivity, Funtouch OS 15’s optimized Link to Windows feature enhances cross-device collaboration between vivo devices and PCs, allowing users to sync content in real-time, manage file sharing efficiently, view recent photos across devices, and more. Additionally, the overhauled S-Capture feature now allows for annotations during screen recording, supports multiple audio tracks, and includes a control panel for microphone volume and system sound recordings.
