What is Origin OS 6?
Origin OS is primarily an operating system developed by Vivo and runs on Vivo mobiles and iQOO phones. In simple terms, Origin OS is a skin over Android running on Vivo and iQOO phones. Vivo is bidding farewell to Funtouch OS and launching Origin OS 6 globally. This change will prove to be quite exciting for Vivo users in India. Vivo says that Origin OS offers more features, a more polished, and a smoother experience than Funtouch OS. Previously, Vivo used two operating systems, but now it has decided to stick to Origin OS.
When could Origin OS 6 launch?
Vivo has shared that Origin OS 6 will be launched on October 10, 2025, in China and on October 15, 2025, in India. The new Origin OS will be launched at Vivo's developer conference.

A transparent design similar to iOS 26 is also possible, and 3D effects have also been added to the lock screen.
Vivo used a different OS in India and offered Origin OS in China. Now, the company has decided to launch Origin OS worldwide. Vivo is ending its dual-OS strategy. With the launch of Origin OS, users will now be able to enjoy smart features outside of China. Behavioral wallpapers and live widgets are included with Origin OS. These allow users to access basic information about an app without even opening it. Users no longer need to open the app itself.
How are OriginOS and Funtouch OS different?

Looking at the differences between OriginOS and Funtouch OS, Origin OS has a more feature-rich UI. Origin OS offers more widgets and themes. Users can access app information without unlocking the device. Animations in this OS are also much smoother, providing a better user experience.

- Transparent designs and layered effects may be added using real-time rendering.
- A smart digital clock that automatically adapts to lighting conditions.

OriginOS 6 Beta Version
Vivo has launched a 'preview' program for OriginOS 6 for the X200 Pro. The company has warned users that this build may be unstable. iQOO has also launched a beta program for OriginOS 6, allowing users to share their experiences. Indian users interested in trying OriginOS 6 can join the preview registration process, which begins on September 29th.
Which phones will receive OriginOS 6?
Vivo's upcoming X300 series and iQOO's new model, the iQOO 15, are expected to launch with OriginOS 6. Both are flagship devices from their respective brands, and users are eagerly awaiting them. Following these phones, older Vivo and iQOO models are expected to receive the OriginOS 6 update. However, Vivo has not yet confirmed which Vivo and iQOO devices will receive this update.
But it's expected that all devices receiving the Android 16 update will receive the Origin OS update. Last year's popular flagship series, the Vivo X200 series, is expected to get OriginOS 6. Based on several reports, the Vivo X300 series and iQOO 15 could be the first devices to launch with OriginOS 6 pre-installed.
Origin OS can also be expected to arrive in global markets, including India, by the end of the year with these models. The initial rollout of Origin OS 6 is expected to be limited to select devices. Only after the global launch of Origin OS will it be known which mobile phones will be equipped with this OS.
