OriginOS 6 introduces a range of AI-powered tools, redesigned widgets, and smoother animations, while BlueOS 3 is designed for Vivo and iQOO smartwatches.
The new OriginOS 6 UI comes with Live Photo AI Removal, AI voice prompts, AI image editing, AI summary generation, and Circle to Search 2.0. It also features resizable clock widgets, circular app icons, curved-edge widgets, real-time blur effects, progressive blur, stacked notifications, and the Atomic Island interface, inspired by dynamic elements in modern operating systems.
The Blue River Smooth Engine, part of OriginOS 6, enhances animations, screen transitions, touch responsiveness, and scrolling frame rates, ensuring a lag-free experience across Vivo and iQOO devices. The update also brings a music lock screen, redesigned control centre, and customisable quick settings, offering users a highly personalised interface.
OriginOS 6 will be pre-installed on the Vivo X300 Pro, Vivo X300, and iQOO 15, while older devices will receive the update according to a phased release schedule.
