Vivo started rolling out the Android 15-based Funtouch OS 15 in India last year. Months after the original launch, the Chinese smartphone brand has announced that it is bringing new features powered by artificial intelligence (AI). It includes various productivity and communication-based smart features like Live Text, Circle to Search, and AI Screen Translation. Further, it includes an AI Call Translation tool for providing real-time translation during phone calls and an AI Live Text feature that can extract text from images.

Vivo detailed the new AI features of FunTouch OS 15's latest iteration, stating that the AI Erase feature is a precision tool that allows users to remove distractions, unwanted objects or people they want to erase with a tap or swipe. The AI Live cutout feature lets users instantly isolate a subject by simply long-pressing. It automatically detects and separates the subject from the background in a video or photo.
