Vivo users in Bangladesh and across India have been waiting for a fresh update for a long time, and now they can look forward to it in a couple of months. First, it will launch in China on October 10, 2025, at Vivo’s Developer Conference. Then, Vivo and iQOO phones worldwide, including India, will receive it. This update will gradually replace the older Funtouch OS.
As of now, only a few major features have been confirmed based on Vivo’s teasers and iQOO’s official announcements. OriginOS 6 is based on Android 16 and focuses on an AI-centric overhaul, shaping the future of AI in mobile phones. The OS aims for smoother performance with more fluid swipes and taps. Users will also get deeper personalisation and subtle visual improvements. Let’s take a detailed look.
OriginOS 6 moves beyond the limitations of stock Android and offers more than just basic theming. You can make your phone look and feel truly personal. Here are the expected upgrades:
These UI changes integrate real-time technology to make the experience smooth and responsive.
Phones running OriginOS 6 are expected to support 120Hz refresh rates for fluid animations across the system. Users will enjoy gesture-based interactions with haptic feedback, making the device feel premium. The smooth interactions also complement 5G Technology and Wi-Fi technology for faster connectivity and real-time performance.
Accessing settings and using multiple functions is faster with this update. Some of the expected tweaks include:
These improvements leverage AI innovation to make daily tasks seamless and smarter.
Vivo is pushing AI capabilities that could rival Google's Gemini, integrating AI innovation in ways that matter to users.
These tools give users more control while benefiting from the future of AI.
OriginOS 6 is designed to improve performance and battery life regardless of the phone’s battery capacity. Apps launch faster, and overall system fluidity is improved. Features include:
With real-time technology optimisations, even mid-range phones will feel faster and more responsive.
OriginOS 6 improves Vivo’s ecosystem, enhancing connectivity with wearables, tablets, and PCs. File sharing between multiple Vivo and iQOO devices will become faster, using advanced Wi-Fi technology.
These features build on OriginOS 5’s foundation while addressing global feedback. There is less bloat, more intuitiveness, and Android 16’s native privacy tools. If you are upgrading from Funtouch OS 15, expect a noticeable leap in polish. It combines iOS-like fluidity with Android’s freedom. However, if you are not used to heavy customisation, the learning curve may feel steep.
Many people are confused about the difference between the two OS systems. Both belong to Vivo but are separate developments. Let’s understand the journey as Indian and Bangladeshi users experience OriginOS globally.

New users will find excellent value, with deep customisation, AI features, and fluid performance. Mid-range V-series users will benefit the most. OriginOS 6 positions Vivo as a serious contender in smartphone software, combining the latest in AI innovation, 5G Technology, and Wi-Fi technology for real-time experiences.
