vivo had announced at the end of the last month that the next version of its custom Android skin – OriginOS Ocean – will be officially released on December 9th. And today, the company has posted on its Weibo account a teaser for the same showing the update’s UI for the first time.

OriginOS Ocean has brought along a major upgrade to the home screen this year, as if the last version wasn’t already unique enough. Icons and widgets both seem to have gotten a whole new look. The current version of OriginOS also came with an option to toggle between a traditional home screen interface and vivo’s own interpretation of what a home screen should look like. This has now done away with, meaning that there’s no “parallel world” anymore.

But it’s not just the home screen that has received changes. From the lock screen clock icon to the re-designed call interface, it’s clear that the entire design language of OriginOS has been altered a bit with the latest version.

The new lock screen depicted in the upper right corner of the poster is easily one of the most radical designs yet. It features multiple shortcuts for taking pictures, payment, and even some reminders that show up in the form of cards, making it possible to perform certain actions quickly without the need for unlocking the device first.

There’s also a Super Card Pack feature that allows you to conveniently initiate payments through various cards you’ve added to the device, making payments as seamless as NFC. It can be accessed by sliding inward at the lower right corner of the screen.

At present, OriginOS Ocean recruitment program has already commenced for multiple vivo devices. These are vivo X70 Pro+, X70 Pro, X70, X60 Pro+, X60t Pro+, X60 Pro, X60 curved-screen version, S10 Pro, S10, S9, iQOO 8 Pro, iQOO 8, and iQOO 7.
