Funtouch OS 14 Update: Will Your Vivo & iQOO Phone Get The Update?

Pin

Vivo and iQOO still need to catch up to other brands with their software update policy. The flagship Vivo and iQOO phones only receive 3 Android version updates. So will your Vivo and iQOO phones get the Funtouch OS 14 or not?

Funtouch OS 14 is the upcoming version of Vivo’s custom skin, used by Vivo and its sub-brand iQOO. It will be based on Android 14, and not all Vivo and iQOO phones will receive the Funtouch OS 14 update. 

Most of the Vivo and iQOO phones launched in the past year will receive the update, and most premium phones from the last year will also get the update. As a rule of thumb, premium smartphones are more supported than budget phones. 

In this article, we look at all the Vivo and iQOO phones getting the Funtouch OS 14 update and all the phones that are not. 

Funtouch OS 14 Release Date

The Funtouch OS version is tied to the Android version. We can expect the launch of Funtouch OS 14 soon after the official release of Android 14.

Even though the Funtouch OS 14 skin will be released soon, it won’t be delivered just after the launch. It will take time for the brand to deliver the update to various smartphones. 

Funtouch OS 14 Expected Features

Extended Lock Screen Customizations 

Android 14 will come with more and more lock screen customization options. Android is following the way that iOS 16 paved for lock screen customizations. Funtouch OS 14 will also come with similar lock screen customization options. 

Extended Home Screen Widgets

Similar to lock screen customizations, iOS 16 also brought home screen widgets that bring extended functionalities to widgets. 

Android 14 Features

Android 14 Beta is out, revealing what the future of Android looks like. Funtouch OS borrows heavily from stock Android in terms of features, so we can expect the new features from Android 14 in Funtouch OS 14 update. Features such as:

• Bigger fonts.
• Granular media access.
• App pair.
• New widgets.
• Predictive back gesture.
• Forced-themed icons.
• Partial screen recorder.
• Drag and drop text across apps.

And more.
