The anticipated OriginOS 7 software finally has an official launch date, and that is September 16. That’s when the company will announce its rollout plans and highlight major upgrades and new features. Vivo has also published a series of teasers recently, highlighting major design changes coming to OriginOS 7.

The Android 17-based skin will be unveiled at the Vivo Developer Conference in China on September 16. Alongside OriginOS 7, Vivo will also unveil BlueOS 4 at the upcoming event. It’s a new OS build for smart wearables, IoT devices, and smart home hardware.

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.

We’ll continue to bring you the latest OriginOS information in our Vivo section. You can visit the page or join our Telegram channel to stay updated.

Vivo is preparing to release OriginOS 7 with several major upgrades and new features, along with plenty of improvements across key areas. The beta program is already live for select devices, and the stable release shouldn’t be more than a few weeks away.

With the official release right around the corner, you may be wondering whether your Vivo or iQOO device is eligible for the update, when it will roll out, or what new features to expect from OriginOS 7. This post has everything you need to know about the upcoming OriginOS skin. And we’ll keep it up to date so you always get the latest information.

iQOO Neo series

• iQOO Neo 10R
• iQOO Neo 9 Pro

We’ve prepared this list based on the existing update policy. So, if you can spot your device on the list, it’s almost certain to receive the OriginOS 7 update.

It’s important to highlight that Vivo doesn’t have a clear-cut software update policy for many devices, particularly for entry-level and lower mid-range smartphones. It’s difficult to predict if those will receive another major upgrade. So, we decided not to include devices that we weren’t confident about to keep the list as accurate as possible. That said, many of them may still have a chance.

When will the OriginOS 7 update roll out?

Vivo hasn’t yet announced a release date for OriginOS 7, but things appear to be moving more quickly than last year’s OriginOS 6. The company announced the OriginOS 7 beta program in China at least two weeks earlier, and as a result, the beta release also happened earlier.

Last year, the OriginOS 6 global beta program was announced on September 29, while the stable rollout went live in early November. This year, Vivo is acting more quickly, so we’re expecting the global OriginOS 7 beta to be announced in early September or a little earlier.

If Vivo keeps up the pace and everything goes smoothly, October is what we’re looking forward to for the OriginOS 7 global rollout.

What to expect from OriginOS 7?

Details about new features and upgrades in OriginOS 7 are currently scarce. However, some users testing the beta build have reported that the liquid glass effect has been applied across the system with highlights, shadows, refraction & dynamic lighting effects. App opening animations feel more natural, dynamic, and stretched out, making the transition feel much smoother.

The OriginOS 7 beta is said to feature bouncy, springy animations that further enhance the user experience. Furthermore, it adds new themes and more customization options.

Reliable tipster Digital Chat Station claims the overall software experience with OriginOS 7 is better than Xiaomi’s HyperOS 4 and Oppo’s ColorOS 17. It seems the wait is going to be worth it.

We’ll update the post regularly as we receive more details. You can bookmark the page or join our Telegram channel to stay updated.

Vivo has just started to recruit testers for the OriginOS 7 beta program, which will later allow select users to gain early access to the software ahead of the stable release. The company has revealed which Vivo and iQOO devices are eligible to take part in the beta program.

As always, the beta testing program has gone live in China first, with other regions expected to join the party in the coming weeks.

Which Vivo, iQOO devices are eligible for the OriginOS 7 beta program

For the first phase of beta testing, Vivo is accepting applications from users carrying any of these devices:

Vivo devices:

• Vivo X300 Pro
• Vivo X Fold 6
• Vivo Pad 6 Pro

iQOO devices:

• iQOO 15
• iQOO Pad 6 Pro

How to register for the OriginOS 7 beta program?

To become an OriginOS 7 beta tester, you must have an eligible device (see above) and that you live in China. The beta recruitment started on the 30th of July at 10:00 AM China time, and will be live until the 4th of August at 11:59 China time.

Now that Google has shipped the stable Android 17 to eligible Pixel devices, other Android brands won’t take long to start rolling it out to their devices. For Vivo phones, the Android 17 update will come with a new OriginOS 7 custom skin, offering additional features, visual refinements, and upgrades.

Unfortunately, many Vivo phones will miss out on this major upgrade. This includes many premium phones from the Vivo X series, iQOO’s flagship lineup, as well as a lot of mid-range phones from the V series, T series, Y series, and iQOO’s Z series.

Check the list below to see if your device has reached the end of its OS update lifecycle.

These Vivo and iQOO phones are not eligible for Android 17 (OriginOS 7) update

All the devices listed below have already received all major OS updates promised by the brand and are therefore not eligible for any future OS updates, including Android 17.

To keep the list short and relevant, we’ve only included Vivo and iQOO devices that received the Android 16 update but are ineligible for Android 17.

Vivo devices that won’t get the Android 17 update

Vivo X series

• Vivo X Fold 2
• Vivo X90
• Vivo X90 Pro
• Vivo X90 Pro+
• Vivo X90s

Vivo V series

• Vivo V30
• Vivo V30e
• Vivo V30 Pro
• Vivo V30 SE
• Vivo V30 Lite 4G

Vivo T series

• Vivo T3

iQOO devices that won’t get the Android 17 update

iQOO number series

• iQOO 11
• iQOO 11 Pro

iQOO Z series

• iQOO Z9
• iQOO Z9x
• iQOO Z9 Lite
• iQOO Z9s
• iQOO Z9s Pro

We’ve prepared the list based on the current software update policy, and therefore, it should be mostly accurate. That means if your device is on the list, it is unlikely to receive the Android 17 update.

There are still many Vivo and iQOO phones without an update policy. It’s difficult to predict if they will be upgraded to the new OS. So, there could be more devices that won’t receive the update.

Vivo is expected to launch OriginOS 7 globally in October, with the stable rollout likely to begin in November. This major build is expected to feature deeper AI integration, enhanced user customization, new features, and a bunch of under-the-hood changes to improve the performance and software stability. So, there’s a lot to look forward to.

If your device isn’t eligible for OriginOS 7, it’s worth upgrading to new hardware. You can upgrade to newer models like the Vivo X300 or iQOO 15 that promise up to 5 major Android OS updates.

We’ll keep you updated with the latest details in our Vivo section. You can visit the page regularly for fresh updates. Or, you can follow our Telegram channel to receive instant alerts.

The post Vivo, iQOO devices that won’t receive Android 17 (OriginOS 7) update appeared first on Gizmochina.

With just about a month left until the stable release of Android 17, brands have accelerated development to ensure a timely rollout for their devices. Vivo isn’t alone. The brand launched its Android 17 beta program in early April and is preparing for a stable release later this year, with OriginOS 7 custom skin at the top.

If you have a Vivo or iQOO phone, you may be looking forward to the next major software upgrade. So, we’ve prepared a list of devices that are guaranteed to receive the Android 17 update. Review the list below to see if yours made the cut.

Vivo phones eligible for Android 17 update

Vivo X series

• Vivo X300
• Vivo X300 Pro
• Vivo X300 Ultra
• Vivo X300 FE
• Vivo X200
• Vivo X200 Pro
• Vivo X200 FE
• Vivo X200T
• Vivo X100
• Vivo X100 Pro

Vivo V series

• Vivo V70
• Vivo V70 FE
• Vivo V70 Elite

• Vivo V60 Lite 4G
• Vivo V50
• Vivo V50e

Vivo T series

• Vivo T5 Pro
• Vivo T5x
• Vivo T4

iQOO phones eligible for Android 17 update

iQOO flagship series

• iQOO Z10x
• iQOO Z10R

iQOO Neo series

• iQOO Neo 10
• iQOO Neo 10R
• iQOO Neo 9 Pro

It’s important to note that Vivo hasn’t confirmed which devices will be upgraded to Android 17. So, we had to fetch the update policy for each device to prepare the list, and therefore, we can confidently say that the devices on the list are guaranteed to receive the update once the rollout begins.

It doesn’t take long to notice that there are no Vivo Y-series models on the list. We didn’t include them because the brand hasn’t announced an update policy for most Y-series devices, including recent models. So, while they are missing from our list, many recent models should be eligible for the upgrade.

We’ll update the list once the official announcement is made.

According to the official timeline, Google will release the stable version of Android 17 around June 2026. That’s when Pixel devices receive the update, but third-party brands, including Vivo, take additional time to develop and refine their custom skin, such as OriginOS, to work with the latest Android version.

So, even if Google announces the stable Android 17 release in June, Vivo and iQOO users will need to wait a few more months before they start to receive the update with a new version of Vivo’s custom skin. If past releases are any indication, we’re expecting the rollout to begin around September.

We’ll keep you updated on this as we receive more details. You can visit the Vivo section for fresh updates or follow our Telegram channel to receive instant alerts.
