We are just hours away from the launch of the vivo X200 series, which will be powered by the company’s new OriginOS 5 custom skin based on Android 15. Ahead of the launch, Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station has shared a complete hands-on experience of the new Android 15-based custom skin.

UI redesign:
One of the most interesting developments in OriginOS 5 is its “Atomic Island”. While at first glance the concept sounds similar to Apple’s Dynamic Island, it offers more functionality. Users can drag and drop both images and text to the pop-up and use somewhere else, which makes a lot of everyday tasks a lot more convenient.

In addition to that, OriginOS 5 introduces gaussian blur and a frosted glass effect, making the look and feel more comfortable.
It also introduces two new lock screen customization options: colorful photo frames and film filters, along with support for depth-of-field wallpapers.


The lock screen includes new widgets for step count, temperature, alarm, battery, calendar, and much more. DCS notes that the lock screen offers many key information, which can help people their screen time on mindless activities and focus more on the real world.
Improved animations:
OriginOS 5 includes improved transition animations. When a user clicks an app icon the animation finally begin from that position.
The drop-down notification panel also includes some nonlinear animations, which you can see from the GIF below.

However, he mentioned that the home screen entering animation still has room for improvement.
RAM management
While the RAM management on OriginOS 4 is already good, the upcoming version reportedly includes optimizations on memory allocation for all apps, which resuces the memory usage up to a certain extent. He tested the RAM management with 20 ‘commonly used apps’ and noted that all of them were still ready to use when checked after two hours.
As for the AI features, the UI skin includes vivo’s “Blur Heart Little V” assistant, which can process basic tasks such as text summarization on device, while more complex operations are performed on the cloud.
Vivo officially unveiled OriginOS 5 at the vivo Developer Conference yesterday, sharing a few interesting details about its new AI assistant and a feature similar to Google’s Circle to Search.
