Additionally, there’s a “Shrink Navigation Gestures Trigger Area” option to further refine touch accuracy while gaming. These changes aim to minimize interruptions and keep you focused on the action.

3. Network Stability

Nothing’s more frustrating than random Wi-Fi drops. This update resolves occasional issues where the device couldn’t connect to Wi-Fi networks, ensuring smoother and more reliable connectivity.

4. Fingerprint and Face Unlock Fixes

Face unlock is an essential feature for many, and this update addresses an intermittent issue where face recognition failed. Expect faster and more consistent unlocking now.

5. Visual and Sound Fixes

  • Home Screen & Lock Screen: An issue where the standby screen wasn’t displaying properly has been fixed.
  • Multimedia: If sound was annoyingly routed through the speaker while using Bluetooth earphones, that bug has been squashed.
