Funtouch OS is anAndroid-based operating system developed byVivo. It was initially released in 2013 and serves as the primary software on Vivo smartphones. The operating system is based on the Android platform and has been modified to improve the user experience. Some of the features specific to Vivo smartphones include a new user interface and avirtual assistant known as Jovi.[1]
TheVivo X5 was the first device to run Funtouch OS 2.0 in 2014. Although it is based onAndroid 4.4.2, the operating system has been modified to provide functions and design elements exclusive to Vivo devices. Funtouch OS has seen numerous updates over the years, each of which has added new functionality and enhancements to the system.[2][3]
On November 19, 2020, Vivo announced the launch of a new generation mobile phone system,Origin OS (the international version still uses Funtouch OS) at the Shenzhen Conference, replacing the current Funtouch OS user interface. OriginOS has improved the visual and tactile smoothness, and also strengthened RAM management, which can achieve the effect of increasing "virtual RAM" through better utilization of built-in storage space.[4]
