Vivo is stepping up its software game with a major AI-focused update to FunTouch OS 15. The company originally began rolling out the Android 15-based skin in India last year, and now it’s adding a fresh wave of artificial intelligence features aimed at boosting productivity, communication, and usability across its supported devices.
New AI Features
The latest version of FunTouch OS 15 introduces a host of smart AI tools built directly into system apps. These features aim to simplify daily tasks, from translation to image editing and note-taking, offering users a more intuitive and seamless experience.
AI Call Translation
One of the standout additions is the AI Call Translation tool. This feature enables real-time voice translation during phone calls between users speaking different languages. Whether youโre connecting with friends overseas or handling international business, the feature helps bridge the language gap instantly.
AI Photo Enhance
With AI Photo Enhance, users can now sharpen faces, brighten dim details, and bring expressions to life in their photos. Itโs ideal for breathing new life into older pictures or refining casual snapshots into social-media-ready content.
Circle to Search
Inspired by Googleโs AI-driven experience, Vivo has added its own version of Circle to Search. Users can circle any item โ text, image, or object โ on their screen to instantly trigger a context-aware search. No need to switch apps or copy-paste keywords anymore.
AI Live Text
The AI Live Text tool lets you pull out text from images in real-time. Whether you’re reading a screenshot or scanning a poster, this feature makes copying and using text incredibly convenient.
AI Erase and Live Cutout
For editing photos and videos, two new tools make the process easier than ever:
- AI Erase: Tap or swipe to remove unwanted people or objects from an image.
- AI Live Cutout: Long-press on a subject to isolate it automatically from the background, making it perfect for creative edits and social media posts.
Productivity Tools
Vivo hasnโt just focused on visuals โ itโs added useful tools for audio and note-taking too.
AI Transcript Assist
The built-in Recorder app now features AI Transcript Assist, which can transcribe voice recordings into structured text summaries. It’s especially handy for meetings, interviews, or lectures.
AI Screen Translation
The AI Screen Translation feature provides real-time translation of on-screen text without having to leave your current app or take a screenshot. Itโs perfect for browsing foreign websites or apps.
AI Note Assist
To help users manage their information better, the new AI Note Assist offers several smart functions:
- Smart Layout: Automatically formats your notes
- Summarise: Provides a concise summary of long notes
- Extract To-Dos: Pulls out actionable tasks
- Translate: Translates note content in one tap
These features make it easier to stay organised, especially for students and professionals on the go.
Availability
Vivo confirms that these AI features will be available on select devices running FunTouch OS 15. However, availability may vary by model and region. Users are advised to check for software updates on their devices and keep an eye on official announcements for rollout schedules.
The inclusion of these AI-powered tools signals Vivo’s intent to compete not just on hardware, but also through smart, user-friendly software that enhances everyday interactions with your smartphone.
