Last month, the Chinese smartphone maker launched Funtouch OS 9 featuring various new improvements with the Vivo X27 series. Android Pie based Functouch OS 9.0 brings new features such as Always-On display, revamped UX, dark mode and several performance tweaks. The new custom UI from Vivo is coming soon on all devices launched last year.

According to a launch schedule of the new OS, all the major Vivo devices including Vivo X21/X21UD/X21s/NEX A/NEX S/NEX dual-screen version and Z3i will get the update by July 2019 whereas the public beta is already under development for Vivo X21i/ Z1i, X23 and X23 Symphony devices. Vivo Z23 Public Beta will go live by the end of July this year. The company did not reveal any update timetable for older devices.

The new Funtouch OS is based on Android Pie and carries heavy customizations as like of previous alterations. The smartphone maker added 72 features and 55 under-the-hood optimizations. The User Interface is tweaked to bring improved user experience with better typography, icons, and animations.

The roundness across icons and along curves make it optimized for FullView display smartphones. The new wallpapers and apps interface is improving the overall productivity of the device. Features like Always-On display and Dark Theme facilitate users. Funtouch OS 9.0 brings more clarity and accuracy in comparison with its old editions.
