Funtouch OS 15 Features

This version, which vivo’s calling Funtouch OS 15, brings several key features as well as improvements. One of the highlights is the AI Image Lab, which will allow users to erase objects from images and upscale them from the Gallery app itself. 

S-Capture is another new feature, allowing users to mark text while screen recording. It also lets you toggle the microphone on and off during recordings. Yes, finally.

In gaming, Ultra Game Mode now allows users to open apps directly in pop-up windows from the game mode sidebar. This wasn’t previously possible with Funtouch OS 14 without a workaround.
