This week, Vivo announced a series in China X300 phones The new models, which include the X300 andX300 ProWhile the Ultra version has not yet been revealed. At the same time, the company revealed a major step at the software level, as it confirmed that the OriginOS 6 interface will reach global markets soon, after it was only present in the Chinese market. Therefore, the company will rely on this interface instead of the current Funtouch 15 interface. In fact, Vivo’s current interface, “FuntouchOS,” is subject to great criticism due to its outdated design language and its delay in providing a better user experience.

Vivo replaces FuntouchOS interface with OriginOS 6

But Vivo decided to end this crisis and rely on the OriginOS interface in all its upcoming phones, whether within China or in the global and Arab markets. The current version of the new interface is the sixth version, OriginOS 6, which was recently announced with a set of improvements. The X300 series will be the first to get this interface outside China. OriginOS 6 represents a big leap when compared to the current FuntouchOS 15.

Vivo says the new OriginOS system redefines the digital user experience, focusing on concepts such as balance and clarity. The company explains that it has developed the system from the ground up to make it faster and energy efficient. Which provides better performance and longer battery life. The system contains Ultra-Core Computing technology that distributes the device’s resources more intelligently than the traditional Android system does, according to vivo. The result is up to 18.5% faster app opening and 10.5% improved frame rate stability while scrolling.

The Memory Fusion feature also provides better performance at high pressure. Vivo cited an example of this by opening an album containing 5,000 photos at a 106% faster speed and loading in just seconds. With the ability to keep 47 applications running in the background without closing them. The new Dual Rendering Architecture technology increases animation rendering efficiency by up to 35% and improves frame rate stability by 11%, making the user experience smoother and more responsive. These improvements are according to the company’s statements and tests.

OriginOS 6 focuses on making the user experience smoother and more realistic, as animations have become faster and more responsive to user movements. Which makes interacting with the phone more natural and comfortable compared to the previous FuntouchOS 15 interface. The interface also focuses on smooth performance, and Vivo says that touch response speed increased by 41%, which is 26% better than competitors – although the company did not explain the measurement method in detail. In any case, Vivo has made big promises to users to provide a fast and smooth experience long after purchasing the phone.

Features of the new OriginOS 6 interface from Vivo

OriginOS 6 finally brings a sleek new interface to global vivo phones. After it was previously limited to the Chinese market, while international versions continued to use the old FuntouchOS interface. The update includes a new design for the Settings menu, Notifications and Control Center. With a custom font and over 2,800 icons completely redesigned to give the interface a more modern and elegant look. The Flip Cards feature in OriginOS 6 allows you to choose up to 4 images from the gallery to appear on the lock screen. The lock image changes when you tilt the device, which is a more interactive experience than a single fixed background.

The watch’s smooth transition between Always-on Display mode and the lock screen gives the interface a sleek, consistent look. And the Origin Island feature, known to users of previous OriginOS versions but completely new to FuntouchOS users. It is a dynamic black cloud surrounding the front camera and displays information such as the clock, music player, etc. It can also transform into an interactive area that allows the user to drag and drop elements in some cases such as copying and pasting, making the experience smoother and smarter.

As expected, OriginOS 6 includes a host of AI-powered features. Vivo also added the Circle to Search feature and translation while scrolling to make searching easier. There is a new feature called Connection Center, which serves as a comprehensive center for managing contacts on the phone. This center provides the Link to PC feature, which supports displaying the screen on the computer, transferring files, and following up on tasks between devices seamlessly. You can also make quick, one-click transfers between vivo phones or even iPhones, provided the vivo EasyShare app is installed on the other device.

And let’s talk about the Private Space feature, which was not available in FuntouchOS, not even in OriginOS 5. This feature allows you to create a separate, secure space to save sensitive data away from the eyes of others. It is also possible to run two versions of the same social media application, so that personal accounts can be easily separated from work accounts. Vivo says that battery life has become longer thanks to the new interface. This is due to reduced consumption of applications in the background, and the interface has also improved processor efficiency.

When will the OriginOS 6 update arrive on my phone?

The OriginOS 6 interface will come with the new Vivo phones starting today, and the company has also announced the date of updating the current phones. If you are using a phone from Vivo, you will receive the update in the coming months, provided that your phone is among the phones supported by the update.
