Infinix has officially introduced a new visual feature called Depth Effect Homescreen with its latest XOS 16 update. The feature aims to enhance the smartphone interface by making wallpapers interact dynamically with on-screen elements, creating a more immersive and visually engaging experience.
According to the company, the new Depth Effect Homescreen transforms how users interact with their devices. Instead of a static background, the wallpaper blends seamlessly with the interface, making icons and UI elements appear more layered and lively. The feature gives users a sense of depth, similar to modern UI animations seen in premium smartphones.
With every swipe or interaction, the wallpaper subtly shifts and integrates with the system layout, offering a dynamic and fluid visual experience. Infinix says this feature is designed to make everyday phone usage feel more modern and immersive.
