Vivo has officially launched OriginOS 6, its latest custom Android skin, globally. Built on Android 16, the new OS brings several artificial intelligence (AI) features and improved system fluidity. Vivo claims that OriginOS 6 delivers a “smarter, faster, and more personalised” experience across its smartphone ecosystem, offering a refreshed design language and a host of AI-powered productivity tools.
SurveyThe global rollout of OriginOS 6 will begin in November 2025, starting with the flagship Vivo X Fold5, X200 series, and iQOO 13, followed by more devices in subsequent months. The update also introduces a new Origin Smooth Engine for enhanced performance, a unified design system, and upgraded motion animations.

The first wave of updates in early November will reach the Vivo X Fold5, X200 Pro, X200, X200 FE, V60, and iQOO 13. By mid-November, the rollout will be expanded to the X Fold3 Pro, X100 Pro, X100, and iQOO 12.
Mid-range phones like the Vivo V60e, V50, V50e, T4 Ultra, T4 Pro, and iQOO’s Neo 10, Neo 10 R, and Neo9 Pro will get the update by mid-December 2025.

OriginOS 6 top features
OriginOS 6 replaces Vivo’s FuntouchOS foundation with an entirely new Origin Animation System, delivering smoother transitions and natural motion through effects like Spring Animation, Blur Transition, and Morphing Animation.
Under the hood, the Snap-Up Engine intelligently allocates computing power to high-demand tasks, resulting in up to 16% faster app launches and 41% improved touch responsiveness.
Visually, the Origin Design System brings harmony across icons, colours, and layouts, complemented by the new Vivo Sans font that supports over 40 languages.
The new lock screen grid (4×7 layout), adaptive folders, and Flip Cards allow users to dynamically tailor their interface. Inspired by Apple’s Dynamic Island, Origin Island offers live status updates in a pill-shaped bubble at the top of the display.
