Vivo is preparing to introduce its latest software upgrade, Origin OS 6, for smartphones in China on October 10, 2025, and it may soon arrive in India. Currently, most Vivo and iQOO devices run Funtouch OS or Origin OS 5 based on Android 15. The new Origin OS 6 is built on Android 16 and is expected to bring enhanced features, smoother performance, and a unified interface across devices.
The upcoming Vivo X300 series is likely to be the first set of smartphones to come preloaded with Origin OS 6. According to industry sources and tipsters, Vivo and iQOO may gradually phase out Funtouch OS in India, offering users the same experience as their Chinese counterparts. The rollout may start with flagship models before extending to mid-range and entry-level smartphones.
Although no official confirmation has been provided for the Indian launch, online chatter from tipsters and forum users suggests that Origin OS 6 could be introduced in India soon. Users can expect the interface to feature improvements in customization, system efficiency, and compatibility with Android 16 features, providing a more consistent and fluid user experience.
Vivo’s move aligns with its strategy to unify its software ecosystem across global markets. The Android 16-based Origin OS 6 is designed to enhance visual aesthetics, optimize multitasking, and improve overall device responsiveness, making it a significant update for existing and new users alike.
The official launch in China is set for October 10, 2025, and once revealed, the Indian release timeline will likely follow, starting with high-end smartphones like the Vivo X300 and X300 Pro, with a broader rollout expected later.
