Vivo iQOO was the first phone in the series of flagship killers, which was soon spun-off into an independent brand. It came with FunTouchOS 9 based on Android Pie out of the box like the other four devices that launched after it. In April. the company announced that all the old handsets will be receiving iQOO UI Android 10 update in mid-June. As promised, the brand is currently rolling out the update to the original iQOO.
Vivo has been never known for affordable powerful smartphones. Instead, the company focused on designs and bleeding-edge technologies like in-screen fingerprint sensor, pop-up camera, waterfall display, and more.
But to everyone’s surprise, the company launched Vivo iQOO in March of 2019 with high-end internals for a mid-range price tag. It was a huge success and so Vivo launched a few more models and declared iQOO a separate brand.
The iQOO 3 5G launched earlier this year is the first phone from the brand to come with iQOO UI based on Android 10. Right before the launch of iQOO Neo 3 5G in China, the company revealed that it will roll out the latest software to all of its old devices in mid-June.
Surprisingly, we are just in the first week of June and the update has been already released for Vivo iQOO. We expect the remaining eligible devices to also receive the update in the coming days.
Though iQOO is late to update its first-ever smartphone to Android 10, it is understandable since it is a new brand and developing an Android skin from scratch does take time. Hopefully, the company updates its smartphones faster with the release of Android 11 later this year.
