Tecno Mobile has officially released its new HiOS 8.6 interface based on the Android 12 operating system. The new interface introduces a new Smart life, System performance, and upgrade to Tecno phones.
Like every smartphone brand, Tecno has its own HiOS skin which is based on Android OS. Every year, we saw the release of a new operating system and this year’s Android 12 is probably the most exciting because of its new design changes, improvements, and features.
The HiOS 8.6 brings in a new design concept of “lightness, technology, trust, and purity”, which introduces a lighter virtual interface to make the system full of flexibility, elasticity, and quality. The new HiOS skin is a continuation of Tecno’s fluid and brand aesthetics, plus it brings in rich features, strong performance, and customisable design.
In this article, we’ll look at the HiOS 8.6 release date, features, and the eligible Tecno devices that’ll receive Android 12-based HiOS 8.6.

HiOS 8.6 Release Date
The HiOS 8.6 was officially released worldwide on June 8, 2022, in what Tecno tagged as “Explore Ahead Experience Ahead”. This comes a few months after the Android 12 release and global rollout, so we think the delay was to blend in more features that’ll make the Tecno HiOS skin exceptional.
Tecno HiOS 8.6 Features
The Google Android 12 is indeed a special OS as it brings enticing features and customisation options to take the operating system to a new level. Fortunately, Tecno has blended its HiOS interface to fit in perfectly with Android 12 OS.
The new HiOS 8.6 skin introduces immersive themes, enriching app icons, and refreshed animation effects that fuel the creativity in Tecno phone users. From everyday use like a phone calls, messaging, browsing the internet, to playing games, you’ll experience the new greatness in the new Tecno HiOS interface.
So let’s see what powerful features the HiOS 8.6 has.
Smart Scenes
Smart Scenes is an alarm-like feature that reminds you of important dates like your birthday or that of a relative that’s so important to you. However, it doesn’t end here as Smart scenes keep you in the tab of your business trips and meetings.
The benefit of Smart scenes on the new HiOS interface is that you won’t have to manually set reminders. What’s more, the Smart Scenes feature automatically learn your phone habits and intelligently applies them to enhance your user experience. It’s our pick for the best feature of HiOS 8.6 skin.
Camera Pro Mode
HiOS 8.6 has further enhanced the photo creativity on the new Camon 19 Pro device with a camera pro mode. This professional mode added to the Camon series camera will give the user a one-on-one experience with Tecno’s smart photography.
The user will have total control over camera settings like Exposure, White Balance, ISO, etc. A professional camera experience is what every photography lover will love to have on his smartphone.
RAM Extension
Before now, many phone brands like Xiaomi and Oppo already provided the RAM extension feature on their MIUI and ColorOS interface respectively. However, Tecno seems to have woken up by adding an option to create more RAM space in the HiOS 8.6 as it was seen on Camon 19 Neo.
This new feature will eliminate the problem of lagging while playing games or constant slow down in opening multiple apps. It’ll rather introduce faster app processing and smartphone experience. This feature allows users to extend the RAM size of their device up to 8GB or 6GB depending on the initial RAM size.
Photo to Video
Photo freaks will have more reason to love Tecno phones with the introduction of the photo to video feature that allows the user to seamlessly combine his or her favourite photos into a single video.
To convert your photo to video on your Tecno device, just go to your phone’s gallery, select the pictures of your choice, pick a temperate, and click convert. High-end Tecno phones will have the option of adding their preferred music to the video.
