ZTE, the China-based technology company, has today officially announced its new mobile operating system interface — MyOS. This new user interface for the smartphone will replace the company’s existing MiFavor.

Making the announcement of this new UI, the company said that “this time, we broke through the inherent thinking, incorporated unfettered creative inspiration into the design, and brought a unique new personalized system: MyOS.”

This new MyOS user interface, running on top of the Android operating system, is expected to be first available on the company’s upcoming ZTE S30 series smartphones that are also scheduled to launch in China on 30th March. Later, it will be released for other ZTE models.

ZTE is calling it MyOS 11, which indicates that it is a successor of the MiFavor 10.5 that came installed in the ZTE Axon 20 smartphone. Thus, it’s likely that the company has just changed the name from MiFavor to MyOS.

The development comes just days after ZTE’s executive confirmed that the company has no plans of adopting the Huawei HarmonyOS for its smartphones this year. Now, the reason behind that is pretty clear.

At this time, nothing much is known about the new MyOS but the company will be revealing more details on 30th March, along with the launch of the Axon S30 series smartphones. We expect to know more about it in the coming days through leaks and teasers from the company.

Many OEMs have already rolled out Android 10 updates for their latest smartphones. Moreover, companies have even upgraded their custom skins on top of the OS update. The latest OxygenOS (OnePlus) and MIUI (Xiaomi) builds are a few great examples. Now, ZTE has also finally caught on with the trend and has officially unveiled its MiFavor 10 skin based on Android 10.

According to a recent Weibo post, ZTE shared a look into its upcoming MiFavor 10 skin which is based on Android 10. The updated skin includes a new system-wide dark mode which is a welcomed addition for making evening usage much more comfortable for users. It also features completely redesigned icons with over 1600 additional system icons to choose from as well.

The infographic also states that over 80 new of the new system icons are designed for micro-motion effects which adds a nice touch to the overall user experience. Furthermore, the new skin features better and smoother transitions owing to motion curve optimizations being made. The MiFavor 10 also supports dynamic wallpapers that fit well with the new dark mode aesthetics. Additionally, over six new built-in themes with their own distinct icons are offered as well.

On the alert front, notifications have also been revamped with a new visual stye. The new notifications now pop-up in a small floating window to allow for a more uninterrupted and less intrusive experience. It bears resemblance to the notifications system previously seen in Samsung’s One UI. ZTE also showcased a new compact window interface and a floating keyboard to make multitasking easier as well.

ZTE’s MiFavor 10 update brings a bunch of interesting new features that will be useful to ZTE smartphone owners. Long-pressing on the screen with two fingers will now enable the handset to recognize the contents being displayed on the screen. This works on both text and images with the device being able to provide users with additional information regarding the product or relevant data matches according to what is identified.

The company also stated that the new software will feature a fully voice-enabled control and navigations system. This would allow users to execute certain in-app actions as well. And lastly, the new skin update arrives with improvements to ZTE’s AI engine, Z-Booster 2.0 for faster app loading times, and improved graphics and fewer stutters. Unfortunately, the company has yet to announce an official roll out and update schedule but is confirmed to arrive on the Axon 10 Pro, Blade V10 and Axon 9 Pro.

With the official launch of Android Q getting closer, more manufacturers are already developing beta versions for their devices so that they can roll out an update in time. Today, ZTE has announced that the Axon 10 Pro will soon get a beta version of Android Q.

The Axon 10 Pro in China runs MiFavor UI  – a custom version of Android, while the international version runs a near stock version of Android. The announcement was made on Weibo in form of a teaser poster shared by the official Mi Favor account.

The poster has a QR code at the bottom corner. Those interested in testing the new beta version are required to scan the code and apply to join the program.

There is no info on when a beta version of Android Q will be available for the global version though it did say it hopes to update the phone to Android Q and Android R.

The Axon 10 Pro was released this May. It has a 6.47-inch curved AMOLED display with a 1080 x 2340 resolution and HDR10 support. There is a Snapdragon 855 processor under the hood paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. It has a MicroSD card slot for storage expansion. It also uses the F2FS file system format and is the first Snapdragon 855-powered phone to do so.

The display has a notch that is home to a 20MP sensor while the back houses a 48MP f/1.7 primary camera, an 8MP telephoto camera, and a 20MP ultra-wide angle camera. The Axon 10 Pro doesn’t have an audio jack like its closest competitor, the OnePlus 7 duo but it has stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos. Other features are a 4000mAh battery with support for Quick Charge 4+ and wireless charging, an in-display fingerprint scanner, and a USB Type-C port.
