iQOO 12 and vivo X100 series receive major OriginOS 5 update: New telephoto shortcut bar, star trail fingerprint animation, and One-Tap Transmission

The iQOO 12 recently received a significant system update to OriginOS 5 version 15.1.12.12, approximately 1.01GB in size. This update encompasses camera, fingerprint, notification, application, and system stability improvements, introducing several new features and optimizations. The vivo X100 series received a similar update (version 15.1.17.1) with largely the same content, also adding the much-anticipated "One-Tap Transmission" feature.

I. Camera Enhancements: Significantly Improved Telephoto Shooting Experience

One of the most notable improvements is the enhanced camera functionality. The iQOO 12 features a new telephoto shortcut bar, significantly improving telephoto shooting efficiency. Dynamic photo shooting has also been optimized, defaulting to 0.6x-15x zoom. Users can enable 0.6x-100x full-range support in "Camera" > "Settings" > "More Settings" > "Full-range Dynamic Photos," providing a wider range of shooting options and creative space. This upgrade offers photography enthusiasts a more convenient and professional telephoto shooting experience, catering to various shooting needs, from distant landscapes to close-up macro photography.

II. Fingerprint and Security Optimizations: New "Star Trail" Animation and Bug Fixes

The fingerprint recognition system now includes a new "Star Trail" fingerprint animation, adding visual flair to the unlocking process. The update also fixes two issues related to fingerprint icon display: it resolves the low-probability issue of the fingerprint icon not appearing when the screen is lit, and addresses the low-probability issue of the fingerprint icon not appearing after the screen turns off and back on in games. These fixes improve fingerprint recognition stability and user experience, ensuring smooth unlocking in various scenarios.

III. Notification Center and Application Improvements: Atomic Notification Adds Screen Recording Island Feature and Other Optimizations

Atomic Notifications have been enhanced. The update adds a screen recording island feature, allowing users to monitor the recording status in real-time within Atomic Notifications. This improves the utility of Atomic Notifications and facilitates screen recording management. Additionally, the update optimizes the Didi Chuxing (a ride-hailing app) design for more detailed ride progress information. The sticker component adds a "Full Circle Sticker" and supports pure image saving.

IV. System Enhancements: Focus Mode, Mini-Window Feature, and Other Optimizations

Several system functions have been optimized. Focus Mode now supports scheduling automatic activation for "Workdays" and "Weekends/Holidays," allowing users to customize settings based on their work and rest schedules. The mini-window feature is improved with a new closing gesture; users can switch the mini-window closing gesture to "Swipe up from the bottom" in "Settings" > "Quick Access & Assistance" > "Mini-Window" for faster closing. The alarm clock now also supports setting "Workdays" and "Weekends/Holidays" for sleep alarms. These optimizations reflect the system's focus on user experience.

V. System Stability and Compatibility Improvements: Multiple Bug Fixes and Network Stability Optimization

Beyond new features, the update significantly improves system stability and compatibility. Improvements include optimized network adaptability and stability; optimized third-party application compatibility, resolving functional anomalies in some apps; fixing a low-probability issue with Bluetooth headphone audio output; resolving a low-probability issue with abnormal game screen display when "Game Super Resolution" is enabled; fixing occasional failures with the swipe-down control center gesture; fixing occasional failures when renaming recording files; fixing occasional anomalies in some third-party input method functionalities; resolving occasional failures of the full-screen gesture side-swipe return function; fixing occasional abnormal navigation bar display in some scenarios; fixing a low-probability issue with abnormal standby power consumption; and fixing occasional anomalies in the accessibility call function. These fixes and optimizations enhance system stability and smoothness.

VI. Security Update: Google Security Patch Update

The update includes the March 2025 Google security patch, further enhancing system security and protecting user data.

VII. Addition of One-Tap Transmission: More Convenient Cross-Platform File Transfer

Importantly, both the iQOO 12 and vivo X100 series now support One-Tap Transmission after this update. This allows for easier file transfers between iPhones and vivo devices, breaking down barriers between different brands and significantly improving file transfer efficiency. The addition of One-Tap Transmission is a highlight of this update, offering a smoother, more convenient cross-platform file transfer experience.

In summary, this OriginOS 5 update brings numerous improvements and new features to the iQOO 12 and vivo X100 series, covering camera, fingerprint, notification, application, system stability, and security. The enhancements and optimizations demonstrate the development team's commitment to user needs and continuous improvement. This update is highly recommended for all users.
