Android 14 based Funtouch OS 14 roadmap
iQOO will roll out the Funtouch OS 14 update based on Android 14 to the iQOO 11 users in India, starting tomorrow. It has also revealed the release timeline of the Funtouch OS 14 update for other iQOO smartphones.
Funtouch OS 14 will focus on providing a smooth experience with Smooth performance. This optimizes RAM usage and helps with improved system performance, app responsiveness, and the ability to run more apps actively. There’s a RAM Saver feature to add up to 600MB of RAM to available memory and the new App Retainer to make it easier for people to use apps where they left them. Motion Blur is another addition, which enables the motion blur effect when closing and opening apps for smoother transitions.
For improved multitasking, here’s the new one small window function to keep up to 12 small windows active in the background. More customizations will be available for the UI with new color schemes, new clock styles for the lock screen, a new monochrome theme based on the Material You design, and more.
