Vivo is set to make a big change in its smartphone software support with the global launch of OriginOS 6. Based on Android 16, this latest version marks the global debut of OriginOS, replacing the previously used Funtouch OS.
OriginOS 6 will come with a fresh new interface and enhanced smart features. Among the interesting innovations are a customizable lock screen with a translucent design and real-time display technology that mimics natural light effects. The digital clock display will also change according to the lighting for a more realistic display effect.
So far, vivo has used two operating systems, namely OriginOS for the Chinese market and Funtouch OS for global users. Funtouch OS offers a native Android-like experience while OriginOS comes with a more creative design, attractive animations and smarter widgets.
vivo confirmed that OriginOS 6 will be officially launched in China on October 10, 2025. The vivo X300 and iQOO 15 series will be the first devices to come with this new operating system built-in.
