OriginOS 7 brings exciting design upgrades

Recently, Vivo has posted a series of OriginOS 7 teasers highlighting major design upgrades. The teasers heavily focus on translucent materials (also known as liquid glass UI), fluid animations, and lighting effects.

The new translucent material design system has been named “light and shadow aesthetics” for OriginOS. It uses see-through glass effects that blend with the background wallpaper, offering a unique experience while also providing more screen space for apps.

One of the teasers also focuses on Vivo’s pixel-level “see-through colour” technology. It adjusts specific areas in real time to make text easy to read, even when the background is challenging.

The OriginOS 7 also features a new liquid animation system. The Blue River rendering engine has been rebuilt around Virtual GPU 4.0, helping the new OS render 14% faster than OriginOS 6.

To make the UI feel more alive, OriginOS 7 now creates a ripple effect when a button is pressed, while dragging across the screen changes light and shadow along the path. The lock screen gets the Liquid Themes feature, which animates the lock screen wallpaper when you tilt or shake the device. There’s also a new Flash Card Theme that turns photos, characters, or places into lock screen cards.

The OriginOS 7 introduces a new system-wide sticker library. Furthermore, you will be able to put stickers on the desktop, albums, wallpapers, or the Always-on Display (AOD). You can also create your own stickers from photos.
