As You can see the whole features which available in this update so I'm highlighting Some Changes which are added in this update. 


1. Camera

The interface in the Camera app is one of the best changes that happened in FunTouchOS 13. You can see in this picture , this type of interface should have been given in the Control Centre Panell also.

2. UI Colour

5. Phone Cooling

This is best feature for gaming lovers. Phone Cooling feature is added in iManager ( Utility Tools) this feature helps to cool down the phone's CPU by reducing running of apps. When you use this feature it shows how many components running which are causing heat problem. Then it shows some time specific time cool down CPU. I found it very useful 👌

6. Home Screen

There isn't lots of changes in Home screen. As we can change UI Colour then the widgets on home screen looks good. They added AQI card in whether which tells how is the Air quality in your area. When we apply the UI Colour there is a option to apply them on system apps too.

In this update they added " Colour Correction " feature. With this feature you can adjust how colours gonna display in your phone.

I found these are major visible changes in the FunTouchOS 13 Update. There are some interesting features added which are very useful in daily basis like "Phone Cooling" & AQI Card but still iQOO needs to work on giving more visible Changes Specially the Control Centre Panell, it looks very dull compare to other brands control centre Panell. 


My Opinion : I like the features which provided in this FunTouchOS 13 update but We are expecting more. I hope iQOO team working on that.


These UI Colours are looking good in dark mode/ power saving compare to balance mode.
