Origin OS, also known asOriginOS (stylized inall lowercase asorıgınos), is anAndroid-basedoperating system byVivo, a Chinese multinational technology company. It was officially released on November 18, 2020.[2] It replaced the operating system on theirVivo andiQOO phones, and is the successor to Funtouch OS.
Origin OS is the successor of Funtouch OS. Its design style is flatter and more visual. It also provides a "parallel space" design for users who like the original Funtouch OS. Users can switch between the traditional interface and the new interface.[3] At the same time, Origin OS supports customizing the size, length, etc. of application icons, which is officially called the Klotski Grid system.[4]
Origin OS also has special features such as "atomic components" and "behavioral wallpapers". The former can be regarded as an upgraded version of the desktop widgets ofAndroid andiOS.[5][6] The latter is linked to the number of walking steps, and the changes in the desktop dynamic wallpaper are controlled by the number of walking steps.[7][8]
Origin OS 1.0 is based on theAndroid 11 operating system. It was first installed on the Vivo X60 series and would later be gradually adapted to other Vivo phones.[9]
Origin OS Ocean (2.0) is based on theAndroid 12 operating system. This version does not follow the traditional digital iteration method but uses Ocean as the new version name.
Origin OS 3 (3.0) is based onAndroid 13 operating system.
Origin OS 4 (4.0) is based on theAndroid 14 operating system and adds the "Blue Heart Little V" global intelligent assistance function. According to the official website, Lanxin Xiao V, or Xiao V (AI Assistant), is developed based on AI technology and can bring more useful system intelligence experiences to users.[10] Origin OS 4 also further optimizes response time, UI design, and adds vivo Sans fonts.[11]
Origin OS 5 (5.0) is based on theAndroid 15 operating system.[12]
Origin OS 6 (6.0) is based on theAndroid 16 operating system, featuring Dynamic Glow. Textures respond and details come alive under the play of light. It introduces morphing animations with water droplet effects. With the Snap-up engine, the system can detect ticketing windows (e.g., concert, movie, flight, or train tickets) and automatically process purchases. It also offers a 5-year smooth experience with the Origin Smooth Engine.[13]
Vivo officially on November 18 2020, at the Vivo Developer Conference inShenzhen,China. It was done with the motive to address the feedback of the users regarding Funtouch OS and to go along with modern trends in Android customization.[14]
The new Origin OS comes pre-installed on the Vivo X60 series, which was one of the first sets of devices to use this new operating system. The system has been upgraded over time to continue improving its performance, adding more options for user customization, and providing better security, although Origin OS remains only available in China, where it has not yet had an official rollout elsewhere.[15][9]
The move further forms part of the broader efforts by Vivo to strengthen in-house software development and reduce reliance on third-party software providers. This is also a means by which the company can create a more localized user experience for its market in China. Now, Vivo has finally planned or announced to extend the scope to international markets.[16]
