In a recent announcement at its developer conference for the Chinese market, Vivo introduced OriginOS 4, the latest operating system update for its devices, powered by Android 14. Following last month’s launch of Funtouch OS 14 in India for both Vivo and iQOO devices, this unveiling promises exciting features and enhancements.
Let’s delve into the key features of OriginOS 4, providing an in-depth look at what users can expect from this update.
Performance and Improvements: OriginOS 4
One of the standout features of OriginOS 4 is the introduction of a virtual graphics card function, which significantly reduces waiting times when opening and closing apps. This translates into a remarkable 36% improvement in application response speed. Accompanied by a 70% boost in display frame rate stability. The result? Smoother and faster app interactions that enhance the overall user experience.
The virtual graphics card doesn’t stop there; it also brings ray tracing, frame insertion, and super-resolution technologies into play. These additions make graphics on your device more realistic, elevating the quality of visuals, from skin textures to reflections.
To further enhance the system’s efficiency, OriginOS 4 undergoes lightweight reconstruction, cutting down on background processes by 20%. This, in turn, leads to reduced power consumption, extending your device’s standby time by an impressive 15%. With OriginOS 4, you can enjoy up to 14 days of standby use without needing to recharge.
Additionally, a separate computing space is dedicated to music playback to ensure that enjoying your favorite tunes doesn’t drain the main system’s resources. You can now indulge in uninterrupted music playback for up to 105 hours.
Optimized Scheduling: Unfair Scheduling 2.0 plays a crucial role in managing CPU power and resources more effectively, making the phone’s response to complex scenarios more agile and responsive. Memory Efficiency is also given a boost with Memory fusion 4.0. Maximizing memory usage for improved app startup and background operation.
