vivo Kicks off Android 14 Developer Preview Program for vivo X90 Pro and iQOO 11

SHENZHEN, China, Oct. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Global technology company vivo today announced the release of the Android 14 Developer Preview Program for vivo X90 Pro and iQOO 11 in select markets. vivo, one of the first companies to make the Android 14 version available for eligible devices, invites developers to leverage this platform to test and fine-tune their applications for the latest Android experience.

An All-New Level of Smooth, Secure and Efficient

The Android 14 generation brings forward an all-new and improved Android experience in terms of smooth operation, privacy and security and overall efficiency.

One of the key upgrades is the unparalleled response speed driven by optimized resource scheduling. Furthermore, inspired by the world of film, vivo introduces a motion-blur algorithm that provides an additional dimension of visual smoothness to the way apps open and close on the home screen, enhancing the overall experience.

Security remains a top priority in this version, introducing additional safeguards for users' digital lives. Android 14 restricts apps from sending implicit intents to internal app components in various ways, helping prevent malicious apps from intercepting them. Additionally, any dynamically loaded code must be read-only to avoid issues such as code tempering. Finally, this Android version introduces a minimum installable target API level of 23, eliminating potential vulnerabilities and improving privacy and security.

The new system version also adapts to users' habits, offering customized application operations and richer information previews. Interactions, such as volume control, are more intuitive and device management is more straightforward. The optimized Output Switcher, which allows for seamless switching of playback in multi-device scenarios and expanded support for a wide array of third-party application protocols, rounds out these enhancements.
