vivo recently confirmed that its upcoming Android 16-based OriginOS 6 will be available globally on vivo and iQOO smartphones. The new OriginOS will replace FuntouchOS, and now the company has revealed its global launch date.
The Chinese brand has scheduled the OriginOS Global launch for October 15, where it’s expected to share details on the software’s international rollout and availability. Meanwhile, vivo will introduce OriginOS 6 in China on October 10.
It’s still unclear whether the global version of OriginOS will be identical to the China release or feature notable differences. Many vivo users have been urging the company to roll out OriginOS internationally, as it offers deeper customization options and is reportedly smoother than FuntouchOS.
The vivo X300 and X300 Pro will debut as the company’s first devices to ship with OriginOS 6. They’re set to launch in China on October 13, with a global rollout anticipated later this year.
OriginOS 6 is expected to deliver significant upgrades over its predecessor. Vivo says it has rebuilt the Android core system from the ground up, with a focus on boosting compute performance, enhancing display rendering, and optimizing memory management.
The update will also offer smoother transitions, faster sharing, new AI features, and a translucent user interface. We should learn more about OriginOS 6 on October 10.
