vivo Unveils OriginOS 6 Globally, Defining Smoothness Mastery for the Next Mobile Era!

vivo today announced the global launch of OriginOS 6, the latest evolution of the company’s most advanced operating system, redefining the way people interact with technology in the AI era.

Shi Yujian, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer at vivo said “For years, vivo has deepened its global presence under the principle of ‘More Local, More Global,’ and continues to create products and experiences that stay true to users’ needs. As we celebrate vivo’s 30th anniversary, we are taking the next step with the global debut of OriginOS. Guided by our ‘Origin Design’ philosophy and built on three core pillars, smoothness, design, and AI, the brand-new OriginOS 6 reimagines the way people connect with the digital world.”

Smoothness Mastery: Look Smooth, Feel Smooth, Stay Smooth

Smoothness lies at the heart of OriginOS 6. More than a feature, it represents a new standard of mastery. The new Origin Smooth Engine enables seamless collaboration among the system’s core modules, computing, storage, and display, delivering an all-around experience that looks smooth, feels smooth, and stays smooth over time.

The 8+1 Ultra-Core Computing framework in OriginOS 6 ensures key tasks stay prioritized, delivering faster app startups (up 18.5%) and smoother frame rates (up 10.5%). With Memory Fusion improving data loading by 106% and Dual Rendering enhancing animation performance by 35%, the system maintains consistent responsiveness even under heavy loads.

Visual fluidity comes alive through the Origin Animation System, featuring effects like Spring, Blur, Morphing, and One Shot animations that make every motion feel natural and cohesive.

vivo’s industry-first Snap-Up Engine further boosts responsiveness, optimizing performance for demanding actions like ticketing, while app launches are 16% faster and touch response is 41% more responsive.

Built for long-term reliability, OriginOS 6 has also received SGS certification for five years of sustained smoothness—delivering a seamless experience that users can see, feel, and depend on daily.

Intuitive Design Inspired by Nature

Inspired by nature and grounded in how people experience the world, OriginOS 6 is designed to make digital life more intuitive, effortless, and delightful.

OriginOS 6 introduces the Origin Design system, which unifies every visual element—from color and layout to icons, fonts, and depth—creating a clean, precise aesthetic. The new vivo Sans font supports over 40 languages with adjustable weight for balance, while 2,800 refined symbols ensure clarity across sizes. Dynamic Glow and Translucent Color effects add light, depth, and vibrancy to each interaction.

vivo has also redesigned key apps like iManager and Origin Health for simpler, task-focused usability, while the new Immersive Weather feature visualizes real-world weather in engaging digital form.

For personalization, users can freely customize their Lock Screen Grid, resizing widgets, adjusting fonts, and layering photos. The refreshed Home Screen Grid adopts a modern 4x7 layout with adaptive folders, and Flip Cards animate photos with natural movement as the phone tilts—bringing personality and life to every touchpoint.

vivo AI: Empowering a New Era of Personal Intelligence

vivo AI ushers OriginOS 6 into a new era of intelligent interaction. Developed in close collaboration with Google, it introduces upgraded Gemini and Circle to Search for a smarter, more intuitive user experience.

At the heart of this evolution is the new Origin Island, a dynamic interface that shows real-time status at the top of the screen and stays active across apps. Integrated with Android 16’s Live Updates, it offers instant contextual actions like Copy and Go (quickly acting on copied text or details) and Drag and Go (seamlessly continuing tasks between apps without switching).

vivo AI also enhances both creativity and productivity. For imaging, AI Retouch unifies tools like AI Erase, AI Image Expander, and AI Photo Enhance for smooth, intelligent editing. For daily work, features such as Smart Call Assistant, DocMaster, AI Creation, and AI Search simplify communication and document handling.

Beyond individual devices, Office Kit and One Tap Transfer ensure effortless collaboration across platforms—keeping productivity and creativity perfectly connected.

Security and Endurance You Can Rely On

OriginOS 6 strengthens protection with the vivo Security brand to safeguard data and privacy, ensuring transparency and control, on-device intelligence, and data minimization. The upgraded BlueVolt technology further improves power efficiency and charging stability, keeping performance cool, consistent, and long lasting.

Availability and Upgrade Plan

OriginOS 6 will roll out globally starting November 2025, with Malaysia among the first markets to receive it. The vivo X300 will debut as the first model pre-installed with the new OS in Malaysia. Upgrade and rollout timelines may vary across regions, depending on local strategies and distribution channels.
