New Delhi: Vivo is going to unveil its latest Android-16-based OriginOS 6 interface in China, ahead of its global launch event scheduled for October 15. The newest version brings a refreshed look featuring translucent design elements that appear to be inspired by Apple’s iOS 26. Beyond UI redesign, OriginOS 6 brings improved stability, better battery performance, and a suite of the latest AI-driven features. Vivo has previously confirmed that both Vivo and iQOO smartphones in India and other global markets will transition to OriginOS with Android 16, replacing the existing FunTouch OS. The version introduced at the upcoming global launch is expected to resemble the one unveiled in China closely.
OriginOS 6 draws visual inspiration from iOS 26 Liquid Glass interface, incorporating translucent effects and smoother layering across the UI. The update introduces the Gradual Blur, a progressive blur system designed to help users distinguish between the interface layers more clearly. It is also going to debut the Light and Shadow Space feature that adds depth effects to UI elements, creating a more dynamic and realistic appearance. OriginOS 6 brings notable performance upgrades. The company stated that with the latest software, frame rate stability has improved by up to 11%, while memory recycling has gone up by 15%.
Vivo has also extended its AI feature set with the latest OriginOS 6; the standard addition is the ability to erase unwanted objects directly from Live Photos. The update also brings the Xiao V Memory 2.0, an AI-powered hub designed to organise notes, reminders, and frequently accessed information for quick retrieval, comparable to OnePlus Mind Space or Nothing’s Essential Space.
