iQOO has officially begun rolling out the Android 15-based Funtouch OS 15 update for its flagship device, the iQOO 12, in India.
This much-anticipated update is packed with new features and system optimizations, aimed at enhancing the user experience.
The iQOO 12 is the first device in the country to receive the stable version of this update, with other iQOO models slated to follow soon.
Features of Android 15 and Funtouch OS 15
The Funtouch OS 15, built on Android 15, introduces a range of improvements. Users can expect faster app launches thanks to a new “Priority Scheduling” model, which improves app start times by 15%. Enhanced memory management through zRAM compression boosts multitasking, while a reduction in GPU memory usage helps maintain system performance.
Funtouch OS 15 also brings significant personalization options. Users can now enjoy over 3,800 new elements, including fresh wallpapers, themes, and icon designs. For gamers, the “Ultra Game Mode” provides advanced tools to enhance gameplay, while the “AI Image Lab” boosts photography capabilities with enhanced AI-based photo quality.
Roadmap and Future Updates
iQOO has laid out a detailed roadmap for its devices to receive the Funtouch OS 15 update. The iQOO 11 will be next in line for the upgrade, starting in November 2024, followed by other models like the iQOO Neo9 Pro in December and various Z-series devices in early 2025. The updates will roll out gradually in batches to ensure a stable experience for users.
Market Context and User Reactions
The launch of this update positions iQOO to strengthen its foothold in India’s competitive smartphone market, where it faces off against brands like Xiaomi, Samsung, and OnePlus. The smooth integration of Android 15 with Funtouch OS 15 is expected to receive positive feedback from tech enthusiasts, particularly for its enhancements in gaming, productivity, and device performance.
This update not only keeps iQOO’s flagship devices competitive but also ensures that users stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in Android technology.
