System stability and performance
From my point of view, the inclusion of the depth effect and the subtle tweaks to the animations bring a breath of fresh air to the interface. However, it still Some improvements are needed more powerful camera applications, as well as the latest tools deleted by AI in the Gallery app. We expect the manufacturer to include these new features in future system or app updates, allowing users to enjoy the same benefits they already experience in models like the Phone (4a) Pro.
