Vivo had initially planned to start with the testing of beta version of FunTouch OS 10 based Android 10 upgrade in February. However, the update was delayed due to the COVID-19 Coronavirus outbreak. On Feb. 17, the company had confirmed that it will soon share a detailed upgrade plan. The Chinese firm is back with a revised Android 10 update schedule for the Chinese market.

The public beta of Android 10 OS featuring the latest FunTouch OS 10 which was made official in December 2019 will be first made available to the users of Vivo NEX 3 and Vivo NEX 3 5G on March 14. The first 4,000 users who register for it will be provided with the public beta. Vivo had launched the Vivo X30 and X30 Pro phones in China with FunTouch OS 10 based Android 9 Pie. The revised Android 10 roll out does not mention when the X30 series will get the Android 10 update.

The Vivo X27, X27 (8 GB + 128 GB model), X27 Pro users will be receiving the public beta by early March. The owners of Vivo NEX S, NEX A, NEX-A with in-screen fingerprint sensor and NEX Dual Display will be treated by early April.

The Vivo S5 will get the update by mid-April. The end of April will see the update hitting handsets like Vivo Z5, Z5i, Z5x, S1 and S1 Pro. The update will be coming to other smartphones like Vivo Z3, Z3i and X23 by late June.

The above mentioned devices are the only smartphones from Vivo that will be blessed with FunTouch OS 10 based Android 10. The arrival of Android 10 update for users of Vivo phones in international markets is likely to happen once the Chinese models are treated with the update.

It is no news that Vivo is an official partner of the NBA. The Chinese phone manufacturer has a few NBA-themed limited editions phones, though we didn’t get any last year. Today, Vivo released a teaser for a new NBA limited edition phone and we think it is of the NEX Dual Display.

Vivo released a poster today teasing the arrival of a new NBA limited edition phone. From the appearance of the device, we believe it is the NEX Dual Display since there is no notch and the bezels are really thin. However, that’s not the only info the poster reveals.

Vivo’s brand ambassador for a few years now has been Golden State Warrior player, Stephen Curry. It appears his contract has expired as the poster also teases a new brand ambassador. Those familiar with the NBA will recognize that jersey number belongs to DeMarcus Cousins who also plays for the Golden State Warriors. We believe this means Cousins is Vivo’s new brand ambassador and we may actually be getting a Vivo NEX Dual Display DeMarcus Cousins Limited Edition.

The limited edition NEX Dual Display is expected to come with a special retail box with the NBA and or Golden State Warriors’ logos. It should also come with branded accessories and souvenirs and a custom UI.

Sadly, the poster doesn’t say anything about a release date but we expect more details to surface soon. Nevertheless, we won’t be surprised if Vivo announces the limited edition NEX Dual Display alongside the Vivo APEX 2019 on January 24.
