OriginOS 6: Key Features to Expect

OriginOS 6 is designed around what Vivo calls “Comfort Engineering,” which aims to create a smoother and more natural experience. Based on the teasers, the revamped lock screen may get a design makeover with:

• Transparent design and layered effects using real-time rendering.
• Smart digital clock that adapts to lighting conditions.
• A new transparent colour palette that blends better with wallpapers.
• On the feature front, some highlights include:
• AI Eraser upgrades that work on Live Photos, helping remove unwanted objects or people in the background.
• AI lighting effects to enhance photos and videos.
• A new shake-to-group sharing option, which extends the current one-to-one sharing into group sharing with a quick shake gesture.

OriginOS 6: Eligible Devices

The Vivo X300 series and iQOO 15 will be the first devices to launch with OriginOS 6 pre-installed in China this October, several reports suggested. These models are also expected to bring the OS to global markets, including India, later this year.

While the initial rollout will be limited to select devices, we can expect more clarity on the full list of supported smartphones after the global launch. Until then, Indian users eager to try OriginOS 6 can look out for the preview registration opening on September 29.
