iQOO Claims 15% Faster App Launches with New Funtouch OS 15

iQOO has launched Funtouch OS 15, an Android 15-based update now available on the iQOO 12 series. This new update brings a range of changes aimed at enhancing system performance, personalization options, and daily productivity. Based on iQOO's claims, Funtouch OS 15 delivers a smoother, more refined mobile experience by addressing user feedback.

Focus on Performance Claims

Funtouch OS 15 introduces a new system architecture designed to boost app performance. The update replaces Android's standard 'Fair Scheduling' algorithm with iQOO's own 'Priority Scheduling' model, which the company claims allocates more processing power to foreground apps. This reportedly leads to a 15% improvement in app launch times, even when multiple apps are running in the background.

To further improve device fluidity, the OS incorporates Memory Enhancement Technology, which iQOO claims optimizes zRAM compression by 40%. This should make multitasking smoother by reducing the GPU memory used by background apps. The inclusion of Origin Animation also claims to enhance the speed and smoothness of system animations, with iQOO reporting a 20% improvement in animation responsiveness.

Additionally, the Aqua Dynamic Effect offers subtle, water-like movements in user interface interactions, adding to the overall fluidity, according to iQOO.

Extensive Personalization Options

Funtouch OS 15 offers a variety of customization options, allowing users to personalize their devices. With over 3,800 design elements-including new system colors, fonts, icons, and illustrations-users have greater control over the look and feel of their interface.

The OS provides multiple system themes, adjustable app icon sizes, and customizable fingerprint recognition animations. Users can also choose from various wallpaper styles, including static, immersive, and video wallpapers, to further tailor their device's appearance.

Enhancing Productivity and Usability

In addition to performance and personalization improvements, Funtouch OS 15 claims to boost productivity. The AI Image Lab allows users to improve photo quality with AI-driven enhancements and features like shadow removal from document captures.

For gamers, the Ultra Game Mode has been upgraded to include a sidebar with performance tools, allowing for in-game adjustments like screen refresh rate without leaving the game. The Game Small Window feature offers quick access to social apps while gaming, according to iQOO's claims.

The update also enhances cross-device collaboration through the Link to Windows feature, enabling real-time syncing of content between iQOO smartphones and PCs. Users can view recent photos, manage files, and more across devices. The S-Capture tool, redesigned for this update, now includes new options for screen recording with support for annotations and multiple audio tracks, as claimed by iQOO.
