In January of this year, vivo shared the Android 11-based Funtouch OS 11 update timeline for its smartphones in India. The company has been following this schedule since it was made official. Additionally, certain phones, which are not mentioned in the list are also being updated to the new software. That said, the latest device to get the update is vivo V15.
The vivo V15 launched in India in March 2019. The handset debuted with Funtouch OS 9 based on Android 9.0 Pie. The device was later updated to Android 10-based Funtouch OS 10.
Now, according to a report by PiunikaWeb, the vivo V15 has started receiving Funtouch OS 11 (Android 11) update in India. The update is currently said to be in greyscale testing.
In other words, the second major system update for the smartphone is only available for a select few users in the country. It is being rolled out in batches and should reach every unit in the coming days.
As per the timeline, the vivo V15 is supposed to get the Android 11 update by the end of June. But for unknown reasons, the brand has released the update ahead of schedule.
Last but least, the Funtouch OS 11 should be the last major update for the vivo V15, as per vivo’s software update track record. However, the handset will likely receive maintenance updates for a while.
