iQOO’s Funtouch OS 15 Makes Debut In India
The new operating system aims to enhance user experience with improved performance and personalisation options
iQOO has introduced Funtouch OS 15 for its smartphone users in India, introducing a range of features designed to improve performance and personalisation based on user feedback. This latest version builds on the Android 15 platform and is intended to streamline user interaction and efficiency.
Funtouch OS 15 focusses on enhancing the fluidity of the Android experience. The operating system replaces the traditional ‘Fair Scheduling’ algorithm with iQOO’s proprietary ‘Priority Scheduling’ model, which aims to increase app opening speeds by 15 per cent under heavy load. This change is expected to improve overall device performance during multitasking.
The new Memory Enhancement Technology introduces a zRAM memory compression algorithm that reportedly boosts compression speed by 40 per cent and reduces GPU memory consumption for background applications. This allows users to run multiple apps simultaneously without affecting device responsiveness.
The operating system also includes a feature called Origin Animation, designed to enhance the smoothness of app interactions. The Lightning-Speed Engine is introduced to create a dedicated channel for executing animations, aiming for a 20 per cent increase in app opening speed. Further aesthetic improvements include the Aqua Dynamic Effect, which mimics the movement of water for a more natural interaction feel. More than 700 touch scenarios have been optimised based on ergonomic research to ensure a consistent user experience.
Funtouch OS 15 offers customisation options, allowing users to choose from over 3,800 design elements, including system colours, fonts and wallpapers. It also provides nine system themes and various app icon styles, enabling users to personalise their devices to their liking.
To support productivity, Funtouch OS 15 includes features like the AI Image Lab, which automates photo enhancement and document shadow removal. For gamers, an upgraded Ultra Game Mode provides a sidebar for quick access to game settings and social apps without disrupting gameplay. The optimised Link to Windows feature offers seamless content synchronisation between iQOO devices and PCs.
