Vivo is finally bringing OriginOS to the world, which has so far remained exclusive to China. Its global launch is set for October 15th, but there was no clarity on when the beta program would go live. The company has opened registration for the OriginOS 6 Preview Program, and now we also know when the beta update will start rolling out to those participants.
A Vivo India representative, in response to a user’s query regarding the beta rollout, stated that a Telegram group will be ready by October 13, which will include all shortlisted users. Furthermore, he revealed that the OriginOS 6 beta rollout will begin on October 15 and will continue until November 6.
Please note that this timeline is applicable to India, but it won’t differ much for other regions where the beta program will be released. Based on the latest information, we can expect the stable version of OriginOS 6 to begin in early November.
The brand should reveal more details about the OriginOS 6 beta rollout, along with the exact release date, at the upcoming event on October 15.

What to expect from OriginOS 6?
OriginOS 6, based on Android 16, is a pretty huge upgrade for Vivo users, especially those switching from FuntouchOS. It is designed to offer a more modern, customizable, and visually rich user experience compared to the more traditional approach of FuntouchOS.
The OriginOS 6 puts a strong emphasis on smoother animations and visual transitions, as teased in recent posters. It offers deep customization and supports dynamic widgets. The OriginOS also introduces advanced customizations for wallpapers, icons, and widgets. Plus, there are unique gesture controls and multitasking enhancements.
The FuntouchOS skin focuses on stability and maintaining a familiar design, while OriginOS prioritizes improved efficiency, smoother multitasking, and reduced resource consumption. It also offers more power management features and granular control over background app activity. The OriginOS 6 also features iOS-inspired lock screen customizations, dynamic animation effects, and a liquid glass design.
