Origin OS 6: Redefining Smartphone Experience for 2025
Origin OS 6 marks Vivo’s transition from Funtouch OS to a visually stunning, AI-powered layer atop Android 16, launching globally on October 15, 2025. This update introduces an intuitive interface, improved user interactions, and better performance for Vivo and iQOO smartphones worldwide.
Design and Visual Upgrades
The centrepiece of Origin OS 6 is its "Light and Shadow Space" user interface, inspired by Apple’s Liquid Glass concept from iOS 26, featuring surfaces that appear semi-transparent and reflective. Vivo uses translucent backgrounds, dynamic shadows, and three-dimensional effects to create a visually deep and clear experience on every screen.
Mirror Screen Effects deliver responsive visual changes based on viewing angle.
Widget and Notification Stacking help eliminate clutter for a streamlined home screen.
Customizable Lock Screen (Huarong Grid): Flexible clock and photo positioning.
Fluid elastic motion effects (animations that stretch and rebound smoothly), frame morphing (transitions that change one shape or element into another), and gradual blur transitions (softly fading one area into a less focused state) improve daily app use, resulting in an interface that feels lively and cohesive.
Performance Breakthroughs
Origin OS 6 improves efficiency with the new Blue River Performance Engine and dual-path rendering architecture:
Frame stability up by 11% and rendering efficiency by 35%.
Launch times for apps accelerated by 11%, and rapid multi-app launch by 14%.
Photonic Architecture: Big boost for CPU cache, RAM, and storage, with heavy-load speeds increased up to 230%.
Responsiveness stays consistent during heavy multitasking or gaming thanks to Super Core and memory optimization.
Smarter Features with AI
Vivo focuses on AI tools to deliver a next-generation mobile experience:Scene Intelligence 2.0:
Smarter battery management, boosting endurance in calls and games by 7-18%.
AI Photo Cleanup: Instantly remove unwanted objects from live photos.
Xiao V Circle Search 2.0: Instantly identify onscreen links, products, and addresses for contextual actions.
Predictive Typing and Conversational Search: Faster, more relevant input and results.
Atomic Island: Similar to Apple’s Dynamic Island, but customizable with music control, battery status, screen recording, and more.
Cross-Device and Connectivity
Vivo’s Office Suite supports seamless file sharing between mobile, PC, and web platforms. The new group sharing feature allows users to transfer photos by shaking their devices, with no data consumed. Car connectivity and power management upgrades ensure Origin OS 6 keeps users connected and powered all day.
Accessibility and Well-being
Thoughtful upgrades help users take better care of their devices and themselves:
Eye Comfort Mode with AI fatigue detection.
AI Sleep Mode for blue light reduction and improved sleep quality.
Clear Voice and Bluetooth Hearing Aid Integration make devices more user-friendly for all users.

China Launch: October 10, 2025, with Vivo X300 and iQOO 15.
Global & India Rollout: October 15, 2025. Preview programme begins for flagship owners, stable releases by late November.
