iQoo 12 To Feature Android 14-Based Funtouch OS 14 Out Of The Box،
Chinese smartphone maker iQoo will launch the iQoo 12 series in India next month. Ahead of the launch, the company announced that “the upcoming iQoo 12 flagship will feature the all-new Funtouch OS based on Android 14.” According to iQoo, the operating system comes with all the new features introduced with Android 14 and a touch to provide an improved and smooth user experience.
iQoo 12 will be the first non-Pixel phone to ship with Android 14
In a press note, the company mentions that iQoo 12 will be the first non-Pixel smartphone to have Android 14 out of the box. This is a big deal because the latest version of Android offerings comes with several improvements. For those catching up, Google’s Pixel devices are the first to receive the latest Android updates, followed by rollouts from other manufacturers including Samsung, OnePlus, Vivo, iQoo, and more.
New features include Smooth Envision, App Retainer, and more.
The Funtouch OS 14 will come with features like Smooth Envision, which reduces the number of persistent processes and optimizes RAM usage for better performance and responsiveness. Next, a RAM saver feature adds up to 600MB of additional memory to devices with 8GB of RAM and above. Additionally, App Retainer ensures that whitelisted apps that are not manually closed are restored to the latest interface so users can continue where they left off.
The iQoo 12 powered by Android 14 will also have an improved small window feature with improved visibility of setting lines so users can easily navigate and understand the setting range. “Users can keep up to 12 small windows active in the background, and the operating system supports side-swipe suspension, giving users more control,” adds iQoo. Additionally, there is a new non-interactive mini-small window mode for scenarios where users do not want to actively use an application but monitor developments.

The iQoo 12 features a 6.78-inch display that supports a 144Hz refresh rate and 3,000 nits peak brightness. Under the hood, the smartphone runs on the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (4nm) SoC, with a 3.3GHz main core and Adreno 750 GPU.
