Blackview Launches DokeOS 5.0 Operating System Update
Blackview has released DokeOS 5.0, its latest operating system built on Android 15. The update brings improvements to user interface design, performance efficiency, and security features across its rugged smartphone lineup.
The operating system introduces a redesigned desktop layout with a new app drawer that organizes applications by name, category, or usage frequency. Visual updates include glass-effect wallpapers and refined animations for pull-down menus, desktop navigation, and app transitions. The lock screen interface has been updated alongside these changes.
Camera functionality receives updates with simplified controls and enhanced exposure value adjustments. Users gain access to gridlines, watermarks, and vibration feedback through quick-access tools. The professional camera mode now includes three metering options, color temperature adjustment, and improved dial-wheel controls for manual photography.
DokeOS 5.0 updates core system applications including System Manager 2.0, Notebook, Cold Room, Weather, and Online Wallpaper. The Theme and Wallpaper Center offers three preset themes named Pure, Parallel, and Titan, along with 40 wallpapers across eight categories and two dynamic wallpaper sets available in six color variations.
Performance testing on the XPLORE 1 Pro device shows measurable improvements compared to DokeOS 4.2. Battery life in light usage increased by 23.08 percent, while standby time extended by 71.62 percent. System response speed improved by 18.54 percent and startup performance accelerated by 9.58 percent. These gains result from intelligent power management and system-level optimization.
The updated Game Mode adds a Performance Mode setting that maximizes hardware capabilities for demanding games. This mode increases frame rates and reduces input lag during gameplay. The system blocks notifications and rejects calls automatically to minimize interruptions. Connection stability remains consistent during multitasking activities.
Security features have been expanded with deeper encryption protocols and refined permission controls. A Private Space function stores sensitive data separately from regular system storage. The update includes selective screen recording capabilities and parental control options for managing device usage.
DokeOS 5.0 launches first on the XPLORE 1 Pro, which features thermal imaging capability and a 20,000mAh battery, and the FORT 2, designed as a slim rugged smartphone. Blackview plans to expand DokeOS 5.0 availability to additional devices in its product range.
The operating system represents Blackview’s continued development in mobile software for rugged devices. DokeOS 5.0 combines functional improvements with design updates aimed at enhancing daily device operation.
