Earlier this month, vivo unveiled OriginOS Ocean based on Android 12 in China. The latest version of the company’s mobile software will be available for a vast number of vivo and iQOO-branded handsets. Just as promised, the firm has now started recruiting open beta testers for the first batch of eligible devices.

Chinese smartphone brand vivo has scheduled to release OriginOS Ocean open beta update for the first batch of eligible phones on December 30. Ahead of that, the company has opened registrations for testers.

The recruitment process began on December 24 and will continue until January 3. Applicants who apply on or before December 29 will receive the update via OTA on December 30. On the other hand, those who apply by December 3 will get the update within 24 hours from registration.

In order to enroll, interested users will have to go Settings > System Update > Gear Icon > Update Early Access > Public Beta and follow on-screen instructions. Users who were part of the closed beta program do not need to register for open beta as they will receive the new update automatically on December 30.

Last year, vivo revamped its mobile operating system based on Android in China. The company changed the name of its software from Funtocuh OS to OriginOS. Today, the firm unveiled the second generation of its new OS dubbed OrginOS Ocean. At the end of the launch conference, vivo announced the update timeline for eligible devices. Let’s take a look at them.

OriginOS can be found on both vivo and iQOO-branded smartphones. Hence, it’s not surprising to learn that OriginOS Ocean based on Android 12 will be also available for handsets from both these brands.

According to the official OriginOS Weibo account, the following phones are eligible for OrginOS Ocean update. They will start receiving the update (most probably public beta) from the below-mentioned schedule.

Just like the original OriginOS, the new OriginOS Ocean will not make its way to international markets. That’s because vivo and iQOO have already revealed their Android 12-based Funtouch OS 12 update plan for regions outside China.

Having said that, the above-discussed update plan is subject to change like any other software delivery schedule.
