The upgrade of the browser will further fulfil the mission of UCWeb to continuously satisfy localized browsing experience and content consumption.”

Enjoyable and Interactive

Version 12.9.7 has made upgrades on video content exclusively for the Indian market. To better feed the local appetite for a short video in a social scenario, UC Browser now displays WhatsApp Status videos in the form of the video feed, for quicker viewing and downloading. Users can log on WhatsApp to share or download status videos via UC Browser, sharing daily happiness with families and friends.

According to an internal study at UCWeb, short videos have garnered increasing popularity in India. UC Browser has split the original video tap into “UC Show” and “Recommend” featuring vertical and horizontal short videos respectively. Also, UC Show supports non-buffering with WiFi connection.

Immersive and Faster

To provide speedily and an efficient experience to users, UC Browser continues to employ advanced technology and design to optimize the functions. While keeping the browser fast, UC has upgraded the user interface to make it all-in-one and immersive.

The colour of the status bar is now consistent with that of the browser, featuring a refreshed look. Website recommendations are redesigned as Topsites, an aggregation of popular sites catering to users’ diversified interests and navigation habits.

Rewarding

Users can now obtain more UCoins with the addition of credit tasks. Besides reading, sharing and commenting on news, users will be rewarded with 5 UCoins each by finishing tasks of searching, website viewing, video playing, bookmarking and downloading.

The aforementioned upgraded functions will concurrently contribute to more UCoins, which can be exchanged for prizes. Besides, users will be able to redeem these coins for rupees - which would be Rs 130 crore in total through UC Centre every week.
