Brand New Icon Designs

The XOS 4 was built to fit around the notch allowing the screen to present more content and offer a larger operating area.

Smart Text Classifier

With the aid of text recognition, this feature generates links from texts and give users more options to click on and move on to the next step pretty quick.

System Gesture Navigation

In bid to make smartphones now totally with less or no bezel, manufacturers introduced the notch (an all-screen approach). With system gesture navigation, traditional navigation keys are replaced with simple gestures to give a wider view and provide users with more screen space for content presentation.

App Hiding

This feature on the XOS 4 Honey Bee enables users to efficiently manage their privacy and keep prying eyes away from personal, 'sensitive' information.

My Smart XBoard

With this feature in XOS 4, notification updates are made dynamic to match user's high frequency application service in a timely manner. This allows for a more convenient and fast use.

Smart Screen Split

This is one of the mind blowing features of XOS 4 Honey Bee. Imagine this: "While watching a video or trying to really beat your high score in a game, a message comes in. Would it be convenient to stop the video or game just to view the message? It could even be an annoying message from the service providers lol." The Smart Screen Split feature enables you take messages in a split screen while being entertained on the other half. Fascinating!
