There are also new always-on display styles, four new fingerprint recognition animations, and an optimized icon library. Features such as Memory Movie, shadow removal for documents, cleanup suggestions, and new quick settings for Ultra Game Mode have also been added.
Besides customization options, the Android 15 update for Vivo smartphones also brings AI features. One of them is AI Photo Enhance, which optimizes image parameters to improve overall image quality. It also gets an AI Erase feature, which, as the name suggests, is an object removal tool that can remove elements from images. These features are part of the new AI Image Lab. Another notable addition is live transcription, which claims to provide transcriptions of on-screen spoken content.
The update also improves cross-device functionality with an improved Link to Windows feature. Users can sync contacts, share files and view recent photos in real time across devices. Moreover, the S-Capture feature has also been revamped and now supports multiple audio tracks and annotations during screen recording.
