Back in January, vivo revealed Funtouch OS 11 (Android 11) update timeline for its smartphones in India. According to the schedule, vivo X50 and vivo V19 were supposed to start receiving the update at the end of that month itself. However, that did not happen as the latter device got the update last week and the former has begun to receive it only now.
According to a report by PiunikaWeb, the Android 11-based Funtouch OS 11 update for vivo X50 in India is currently under greyscale testing. In simpler words, it is only available for select users in the country. This initiative is similar to Xiaomi’s Stable Beta MIUI updates.
For those unaware, these types of builds are basically stable. However, they are only made available for select few users to test them out in public. If the early adopters don’t face any major issue like the recent Mi A3 Android 11 update fiasco, the build is soon released for more users.
Hence, vivo X50’s Funtouch OS 11 update is not available for all the users in India right now. But that should change soon in the coming days. The situation is the same for vivo V19, which got the update last week.
That said, as per the plan, vivo V17, vivo V17 Pro, vivo V15 Pro, and vivo S1 should be next in line to get the update starting by the end of March 2021.
