Most smartphone manufacturers have their own custom user interface for the Android operating system and similarly, China-based Vivo has been offering FunTouch OS on its smartphones. But, that is about to change soon.
The company has confirmed that the FunTouch OS will be replaced by a new OriginOS, as confirmed by Vivo a couple of weeks ago during the 2020 Developer Conference.
Now, Vivo has teased this new OriginOS on its official Weibo account. The custom user interface, which is being developed under Origin Studio carries the tagline “Brave New World”, hinting at a complete rehaul of the UI.
Earlier reports reveal that the company will be offering two different types of interface for the users — OriginOS and Stock Android and the users will be able to choose and switch between the two options.

Recently, a product manager of iQOO, which is Vivo’s sub-brand for premium devices, revealed that the new user interface for the company has been designed by an Apple designer and it will offer several new features.
Vivo is expected to officially launch the OriginOS on 19th November in China, along with the announcement of several other products from the company, including apps, games, business partnerships, etc.
The company had previously stated that the upcoming custom user interface will be available for Vivo’s existing smartphones as well. To know for sure which devices will be compatible with the OriginOS, we will have to wait for the official launch.
