Doke
OS
4.0 onboard is
the first
foldable
phone by
the
innovation-driven
tech brand
Blackview,
having just
received its
global debut in
late May. So
far, the device
has been getting
a positive
response,
and to enhance
the positivity,
the device is
set to receive a
new Google
OTA update
to the
latest
Android
14. The
arrival of
Android 14 is
not just a
software update,
but signifies
Blackview’s
commitment to
supporting
three-year
Android version
updates, from
Android 14 to
16,
and providing
users with the
latest software
experience
across its
device
portfolio.
As
expected, the
forthcoming
Google
OTA Android 14
OS
upgrade for
HERO 10 will
introduce a host
of new features
to elevate
efficiency,
personalization,
privacy, and
security to
new
heights.
Meanwhile, the
update
of Doke OS
4.0 will
significantly
improve both
software
and hardware
performance,
including
enhancements to
the main and
cover screens,
notably in
effortless
cover screen
access and
an enhanced
Dynamic Live
View.
These cumulative
improvements aim
to address
existing
user concerns
and further
refine the user
experience,
making the OTA
update a true
advancement over
the
current
version.

What’s
New with
HERO 10
Android 14
Update?
--Efficiency
Upgrade,
Personalization
Upgrade,
Privacy
Upgrade, and
Security
Upgrade
With
the
latest Android
14 software
update,
HERO
10 will
undergo
significant
improvements
that enhance
user experience
in several key
areas. It will
introduce
smoother
transitions
between apps and
a more
responsive
interface,
while also
elevating
efficiency,
personalization,
privacy, and
security to
new
heights.
No.1
Android 14
Efficiency
Upgrade
The
latest
Android
14 prioritizes
productivity, so
HERO 10 with a
new operating
system
will introduce
an all-new
copy-paste
way,
automatic
mobile data
switching
between dual SIM
cards,
automatic
QR Code
zoom, and
auto-confirm
when
using
PIN,
allowing users
to work more
efficiently.
--All-new
Efficient
Copy-Paste
Way
HERO
10 with upgraded
Android 14 makes
it easier for
users to
copy
or paste
texts,
photos, or
even
videos.
Users can press
and hold on the
content they
wish to copy,
then switch to
another app with
the other hand
and paste what
they have copied
before wherever
they
prefer.
--Automatic
Mobile Data
Switching
Between Dual SIM
Cards
One
of the notable
added features
is that the
latest Android
14 system will
automatically
switch
mobile data
usage to
the second SIM
card when
the
primary SIM card
does not have a
good network
signal.
This saves
users’
time and helps
them use their
devices more
smoothly
without manual
activation.
--Automatic
QR Code Zoom
It
integrates
camera zoom
functionality
for scanning
QR codes at
varying
distances and
lighting
conditions, with
high
accuracy in
low-light and
complex
environments.
--Auto-confirm
Unlock When
Using PIN
In
Android 13,
users have to
press
“Enter”
when it comes to
setting a PIN
to unlock their
phone. Now with
Android 14,
their phones can
auto-unlock after
they enter the
correct PIN. It
is, however,
worth noting
that this
feature is
exclusive to
a
six-digit
passcode.
No.2
Android 14
Personalization
Upgrade
If
users want to
make their
HERO
10 truly
their own, then
the device with
Android 14 is
worth their try
because it
offers
separate
ring and
notification
volumes,
upgraded
magnification,
and more. Users
can tailor their
devices to
better suit
their
needs.
--Separate
Ring and
Notification
Volumes
Users
may miss
important pops
at work because
of the combined
volume setting
for
notification and
ringtone
volumes. Thanks
to the Android
14 update, users
now can
adjust
a specific
volume
for
each
according
to their
needs and
scenarios.
This means if
they want their
phone to ring
quietly and
notifications
won’t be
affected.
--
Upgraded
Magnification
Unlike
this feature in
the previous
Android system,
it has been
improved,
allowing
for targeted
magnification
without losing
the
context of
the surrounding
content and
offering a range
of zoom levels
to accommodate
different
visual needs.
Users can
magnify
the full
screen, or
part of the
screen,
or seamlessly
switch between
the
full or partial
screen.
No.3
Android 14
Privacy
Upgrade
Privacy
is a key focus
of the new
operating system
enhancements.
HERO
10 will
include
additional
features aimed
at safeguarding
user privacy,
such as
selective
photo and video
access,
AI-generated
virtual
backgrounds for
Google
Meet, and
Health
Connect.
--Selected
Photo and Video
Access
Now,
instead of
granting apps
access to
the
entire photo
library,
users can select
specific photos
that the app can
use. This is a
great
privacy feature
since it ensures
that the apps
can only see the
images and
videos users
want them to,
and
reduce
the risk of
data
misuse.
--AI-generated
Virtual
Backgrounds for
Google Meet
By
using AI to
create
realistic
and dynamic
backgrounds during
video calls, it
enhances
privacy by
allowing users
to replace
their actual
surroundings with
more suitable or
aesthetically
pleasing virtual
environments.
--Health
Connect for More
Control Over
Health and
Data
Previously,
users had to
install the
Health
Connect app from
the Google Play
Store. On
Android 14, it
is part of the
Android
Framework.
That is, it is
now built
into the Android
14
settings as
a central way to
store all
user’s
health data in
one
place and stay
in control of
their
privacy.
No.4
Android 14
Security
Upgrade
As
mentioned
before, the
update also
brings new
security
features,
ensuring safer
browsing and
protecting user
data. With
enhanced
PIN code
protection and
Google
Password
Manager,
users can have
peace of mind
knowing their
data,
passwords, and
devices are
safe.
--Enhanced
PIN Code
Protection
This
security feature
requires more
complex
PINs,
such as
increasing
minimum length
requirements or
mandating the
inclusion of
numbers,
letters, and
special
characters to
enhance
security. It
restricts the
number of PIN
entry attempts
before locking
the device or
requiring
alternative
authentication
methods
against
theft or
compromise.
--Google
Password
Manager
It
provides a
centralized
method for
managing and
safeguarding
user account
passwords, By
helping users
generate
and store
passwords
securely, and
automatically
fill login
forms,
it simplifies
the login
process and
enhances account
security.

What’s New
with HERO 10
DokeOS 4.0
Update?
—Effortless
Access to the
Cover Screen,
and Refreshed
Dynamic Live
View on the
Main Screen
Thanks
to the
DokeOS
4.0 update,
it’s
reported that
both the
main screen and
cover screen
will change a
lot to fix some
existing
inconveniences
caused by the
old OS.
Users no longer
have to unlock
the back screen
every time using
face
unlock or
fingerprint
recognition.
Dynamic
Live
View is
also renewed
with added
features, more
lively
animations, and
more to enhance
the
overall
performance.
No.1
DokeOS 4.0
Upgrade for
Speedy Access to
the Cover
Screen
With
the new software
update, the
performance of
HERO
10’s
cover screen is
optimized. Users
now don't
have to unlock
it
using
face unlock or
side fingerprint
recognition.
Instead, it
can
automatically
unlock as long
as the
back screen
lights
up.
Besides, it also
gets a renewed
design,
featuring a
colorful
and vivid
background by
default.
No.2
DokeOS 4.0
Upgrade for
Refreshed
Dynamic Live
View
The
DokeOS 4.0
update enhances
the Dynamic Live
View on the main
screen.
Alongside
improvements in
animation
quality and
transitions,
Blackview has
introduced new
features such as
screen
recording
and
flashlight to
make better use
of the
center-placed
pill shape
cutout as
an
interactive mini
taskbar for
notifications,
alerts, and
real-time
activities.
Notably,
screenshots will
not capture the
new Dynamic Live
View
feature.
--
Clearer
Interface with
Sub-options
In
Android 13,
Dynamic Live
View is at the
bottom of the
auxiliary
function page
with no
sub-options,
leaving users
unclear about
what
functionalities
are displayed on
the Island. With
the update, this
feature is
placed at the
top of the
auxiliary
function
interface and
renamed
“Live
Window” for
better literal
understanding.
Plus, now
when clicked, it
shows
sub-options,
allowing users
to select
their preferred
features to
display
in
a pill-shaped
icon on the
status
bar.
-- Two
More New
Features
Features
that Dynamic
Live View boasts
on Android 13
are relatively
limited, users
can only manage
phone
calls, music,
battery level,
clock, and sound
recorder.
Based on these,
Dynamic
Island in
Android
14 introduces
two new ones:
screen
recording and
flashlight.
This expansion
enables users to
have
swift
access to more
frequently used
tools in
their
daily lives
without leaving
the current page
or app, thus
enhancing
multitasking and
user
convenience.
--
Larger Display
Area for Better
Visibility
From
Android 13 to
Android 14,
Dynamic Live
View has
expanded from
covering about
half of the
screen’s
top center to
spanning
the entire
top of the
screen or
occupying a
larger
area,
which not only
improves
the visibility
of
notifications during
driving
or in meetings
but also
contributes to a
more modern and
sleek appearance
of the user
interface.
--
Quicker Access
to the
Corresponding
Apps
Unlike
Dynamic Live
View in Android
13, which
requires a
single click to
zoom in and a
double click to
switch to
corresponding
applications,
Android 14
simplifies this
by allowing
users to
enter
applications
with just a
single
tap to
the application
if there is one.
However, a long
press can make
the pill-shaped
icon zoom in.
Because of these
direct changes,
interaction
is
streamlined and
time is
saved.
--
More Modern and
Sleek Visual
Appeal
The
aesthetic
elements of
the
UI,
such as colors,
icons, and
fonts, will also
be updated
to align with
the new Dynamic
Live View in
Android 14,
enhancing
the overall look
and
feel.
In
mid
to late
July,
this
software update
will
first be
rolled out in
regions outside
the European
Union and
Russia,
followed
by the
European
Union, and
finally
in
Russia.
Users in these
areas are
encouraged to
stay tuned for
the update
schedule to
receive the OTA
Android 14
update promptly
and enjoy its
new features.
