Vivo is all set to unveil Origin OS 6, its latest custom Android skin based on Android 16, on October 15, 2025. The update will replace the older Funtouch OS on Vivo and iQOO smartphones in India — a significant shift toward global brand uniformity. Origin OS, first introduced in China in 2020, will finally become the standard interface across all markets.
Key Features And Improvements
According to the company, Origin OS 6 will offer a “smoother, smarter, and more personal” user experience. Users can expect a major design overhaul, enhanced interface fluidity, and personalization options. New visual elements, improved animations, and intelligent features are also expected, aiming to deliver a premium, seamless experience.
Additionally, iQOO India’s DGM of Product Management, Shankar Singh, announced that a developer beta version will be available soon. This early release will allow developers to test the redesigned UI, provide feedback, and help fix potential bugs before the public rollout.
First Devices To Feature Origin OS 6
Vivo also revealed that the upcoming Vivo X300 Pro and Vivo X300 smartphones will be the first devices to ship with Origin OS 6 pre-installed. The company plans to showcase the new features in China on October 10, just days before the global unveiling.
Global Consistency And Future Rollout
With this launch, Vivo aims to streamline its software strategy and deliver a consistent user experience across regions. Until now, Vivo and iQOO devices in India shipped with Funtouch OS, while Chinese models used Origin OS. The switch will eliminate this split and create a unified identity for the brand’s software ecosystem.
As anticipation builds, Origin OS 6 is expected to set a new benchmark for Android custom skins, delivering a modern, polished, and user-centric interface — positioning Vivo and iQOO devices to compete more aggressively in the premium smartphone market.
