Vivo has launched OriginOS 6, based on Android 16, and it brings numerous exciting features and tons of upgrades, including a redesigned interface, cross-device integration, performance improvements, security enhancements, and new AI capabilities. Here are the top six features in OriginOS 6 that you shouldn’t miss.
1. Refreshed visuals with better user interaction
OriginOS 6 introduces “Light and Shadow Space,” a new design language that simulates natural lighting and depth that feels more intuitive to use. It uses translucent materials, realistic shadows, and subtle blur to make elements feel physically layered.
There are also Gradual Blur effects that separate elements from the background for smoother visuals. Vivo has also added AI Lighting Effects to Xiao V (Vivo’s AI assistant) interactions. The new Notification stacking feature groups notifications for easier finding and a less cluttered experience.
The interface switching is now more pleasing as the new screen gradually appears, and the blurred background makes the transition more comfortable and improves the focus. The Android 16-based update also includes numerous features like Elastic Motion and Frame Morphing to further improve animations and user interactions.
2. Lock screen is now more fun and customizable
OriginOS 6 brings some nice and useful upgrades to the lock screen, making it super fun to play with. The Mirror Screen Effects provide dynamic changes from different viewing angles, aligning with the new Light and Shadow Space visual system that simulates natural lighting and depth. Combined with the updated blur and layering on the lock screen, the result is a lock screen that’s animated and “material,” rather than flat.
The clock can now be moved anywhere on the lock screen, and the photo modules can be aligned or rearranged for a more personalized experience. OriginOS 6 also adds new clock styles and layout presets.
OriginOS 6 achieves 11% improved frame rate stability and 35% improved rendering efficiency by using a dual rendering architecture. One is designed for handling regular rendering scenes with medium to low loads, while the second is specifically tailored for high-load rendering tasks, such as motion effects.
Hypercore computing enables applications to launch 14% faster. It also improves page switching and content loading speed. The Photonic Storage architecture further contributes to improved performance by efficiently utilizing CPU cache, memory, and storage. It achieves a 230% improvement in scene data loading after reloading and a 15% boost in memory recycling speed.
Furthermore, Scenario Energy Efficiency 2.0 utilizes six energy efficiency algorithms to enhance performance and extend battery life. More specifically, this results in 7% improved battery efficiency during video calls, or 18% higher battery life with continuous short videos, or 14% more battery life when gaming. Gamers can now enable the Micro Power Wizard mode and plug in the power supply to instantly return to the previous task, without waiting.
OriginOS 6 also includes Global Direct Drive Power Supply 2.0 for intelligent temperature controlling and smart charging, and System Lightweight 3.0 for up to 7% increase in standby time.
4. Shake to share in a group
Sharing photos with multiple devices is now a lot easier. Using the Shake to share feature, users only need to shake their phones face-to-face, and it will quickly create a group to share photos without consuming any internet data.
5. AI gets smarter and more useful
OriginOS 6 users can instantly remove unwanted people or objects from live photos with the help of AI. The Xiao V circle search feature can intelligently identify links, products, and addresses on the screen. Vivo phones outside China already have a Circle to Search feature from Google. So, the Xiao V circle search feature may remain limited to China.
Users can long-press the screen to add information to Xiao V Memory, which intelligently categorizes information along with schedules and addresses. The synced details can be imported into Vivo input method’s common phrases to make the keyword personalized.
OriginOS 6 enables natural language search, so that you don’t have to remember the exact name. Simply describe what you’re looking for and let the AI do the job. It works with file management, email, Atomic Notes, and many other apps.
6. Improved cross-device integration
The new Vivo Office Suite enables faster file sharing across smartphones, PCs, and web platforms. Users can send any number of files in any format, or even an entire folder. Devices must be logged into the same account to use this feature. OriginOS 6 enables iPad users to view and download audio, videos, and files from Vivo phones. The Vivo phone can also be projected to the iPad.
Vivo also makes it easier to control other devices. With OriginOS 6, users can issue commands to Lanxin Xiao V to control multiple smart home devices, including air conditioners, air purifiers, and more. The Mirror Window 2.0 enables screen mirroring, while also offering full phone capabilities to the car’s screen, such as chatting, watching TV series, navigation, and more.
For Vivo and iQOO devices outside of China, the OriginOS 6 will be a much bigger upgrade, as those devices will switch from Funtouch OS. Users will get a completely redesigned Quick Settings panel, new icons, and a host of new features. The global launch is set for October 15, where the brand will reveal all the changes, alongside the eligible devices list and rollout schedule.

Japan is turning to cutting-edge drone technology to protect its poultry farms from devastating bird flu outbreaks. In one of the most ambitious biosecurity moves in recent years, authorities have deployed laser-equipped drones to scare away virus-carrying wild birds before they can spread the disease.

A Serious Threat to Poultry Farms
Avian influenza is one of the biggest threats to the global poultry industry. A single outbreak can wipe out entire farms and lead to massive economic losses. Earlier this year, a major outbreak in Chiba Prefecture forced the culling of more than 3.3 million birds in just two months. Nationwide, around 4.6 million poultry were lost.
The main culprits are wild birds, especially crows, pigeons, and migratory waterfowl, that can carry the virus without showing symptoms. They spread it through droppings, saliva, or nasal fluids. Once the virus reaches domestic flocks, it can spread rapidly, forcing farms to take drastic measures like culling.
NTT Leads the Innovation
To prevent such disasters, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) has developed a new drone-based solution. In collaboration with NTT e-Drone Technology, NTT East, and the Chiba Prefectural Government, the company has created an autonomous bird-repellent system using its BB102 drone model.
Unlike typical drones used for spraying or mapping, these drones patrol poultry farms day and night. They are equipped with red and green laser projectors that flash intermittently, an approach designed to make birds uncomfortable without harming them.
How the Laser Drones Work
The BB102 drone flies above poultry farms, scanning for wild birds. When birds are detected, it flashes multiple red and green laser beams to drive them away. These colors have been scientifically proven to deter animals, including pigeons, crows, and deer.
The flashing pattern plays a crucial role. Continuous light can lose its effect over time as birds adapt, but intermittent flashes prevent this. In short, the drones build an “aerial protective net,” keeping wild birds and the virus they may carry at a distance.

A Clean, Quiet, and Smart Solution
Unlike gas cannons or netting, the drone system is fully automated and silent. It works in all weather conditions and doesn’t rely on chemicals, making it an environmentally friendly alternative. This shift also reduces dependence on reactive measures like mass culling, helping farmers protect both their flocks and their livelihoods.

Backed by Science and Policy
Studies have linked bird flu outbreaks in Japan to migratory bird movements in late winter and spring. By scaring away potential carriers before they land, the drones address the problem at its source.
The program is supported by the Japanese government, which offers subsidies to encourage farmers to adopt this technology. It also fits into the country’s broader strategy of precision agriculture and AI-based farm management.
A Model for the World
Laser deterrent systems are already used at airports in Europe and North America to keep birds away from runways. Japan’s innovation goes a step further by combining mobility, automation, and farm-level integration.
Experts believe that if successful, countries like the Netherlands, South Korea, and the United States could adopt similar solutions. This could mark a global shift from reacting to outbreaks through culling to preventing them through smart deterrence.
A New Era of Farm Protection
The BB102 laser drones are more than just a technological upgrade; they represent a smarter, cleaner way to protect food supply chains. By keeping wild birds at bay without harming them, Japan is setting a new standard in farm biosecurity.
With this innovation, poultry farmers can focus on raising healthy flocks while reducing the risk of another devastating bird flu season.
