vivo announces the global rollout of OriginOS | Infinium-tech
Five years ago, Vivo introduced OriginOS, its next-generation OS that was set to replace FuntouchOS — and it did, but only in China. So far. As you may have heard, OriginOS is going global.
This is happening with the newly introduced version 6, which is based on Android 16. Check out our overview of what’s new in OriginOS 6.
Vivo’s new OriginOS 6
The new OS version will debut with the Vivo X300 and X300 Pro, although we don’t yet have details on when these might launch globally. If you’re curious, you can check out our hands-on reviews of both phones.
Other models set to receive OriginOS 6 are the Vivo X Fold5, Vivo X200 series apart from the iQOO 13 and iQOO Neo10 series. It will begin next month and extend until 2026 as the company updates older and older models.
The new version focuses on a buttery smooth experience. This app speeds up call-start times and data loading, as well as improves frame rate stability. It features a brand new animation engine with multiple animation styles tied to the new design language for the user interface.
OriginOS 6 has a dedicated Smooth Engine
Speaking of design, the new Origin Design system looks to unify visual elements on the screen. Transparency and blur are key elements and there is a special new font. Vivo Sans supports over 40 languages and has a fully adjustable weight for better readability.
OriginOS 6 brings a new design and a special new font
Origin Island integrates with a new Android 16 feature called Live Updates. It can remain visible at the top of the screen and provide quick access to context-relevant actions, for example Copy & Go will copy a phone number and let you call or message that number directly, while Drag & Go will let you make quick edits to an image without leaving the app you’re currently using.
Vivo AI also plays an important role in the new UI. Vivo teamed up with Google to integrate the Gemini chatbot and Circle to Search feature. Again, check out our What’s New article for more detailed information.
