Improved UI

AI-powered
Have you ever wished your app drawer could predict what you needed? Nothing in OS 3.0 does that! The Smart Drawer feature now uses AI to intelligently classify apps based on how frequently they are used. Furthermore, you may pin your most frequently used apps to the top, ensuring that you never lose time looking.
Camera Features
The update also includes some impressive improvements to camera performance. Expect faster HDR processing, quicker camera launch times via the widget, and better low-light shooting. The zoom slider display has been improved, making it easier to get the right shot.
Extra Features
Multitasking is now more fluid, with the ability to resize and pin apps in the pop-up view on the screen’s border. The new auto-archive feature helps to free up storage by removing unwanted program data without deleting the apps themselves.
Meanwhile, the upgrade includes secure screen recording, partial screen sharing, and a revamped setup wizard to improve everyday usage. You’ll also see new fingerprint and charging animations, more widget options, and predictive back gestures for easier navigation.
