Get ready, India! Vivo has officially announced that its highly anticipated Origin OS 6, based on the latest Android 16, will make its debut in the country by mid-October. This exciting news confirms earlier buzz and signals a significant shift for Vivo and iQOO users in India.
For years, users outside of China have experienced Vivo and iQOO smartphones running the Funtouch OS. However, this is all set to change. The company has confirmed that Origin OS 6 will replace Funtouch OS 15 on upcoming Vivo and iQOO devices. This transition marks a major step towards standardizing the user experience across all markets.
What can we expect from Origin OS 6? Insiders suggest a completely redesigned user interface that promises a fresh, intuitive, and feature-rich experience. It’s highly probable that future flagship smartphones from both Vivo and iQOO will launch with Origin OS 6 right out of the box. Moreover, there’s good news for existing users: older iQOO and Vivo devices are also expected to receive an over-the-air (OTA) update to the new operating system, bringing the latest innovations to a wider audience.
The excitement has been building, especially since the official Origin OS X (formerly Twitter) handle, previously named @FuntouchOS_IN, was recently rebranded, hinting at the imminent rollout. This move underscores Vivo’s commitment to bringing its advanced, China-exclusive Origin OS experience to its Indian user base.
