OriginOS is the latest version of vivo’s smartphone operating system. The new software from the brand is based on Android 11. It is basically a pumped-up variant of Funtouch OS 11, which is found in the company’s budget devices. In early December, the brand began to recruit closed beta testers for five handsets from the first batch. Now, a little over a month later, the firm has opened open beta registrations for all the models in the initial batch.

According to the official Weibo account of OriginOS, open beta recruitment is live for the following smartphones.

• vivo NEX 3S
• vivo X50 Pro+
• vivo X50 Pro
• vivo X50
• vivo S7
• iQOO 5 Pro
• iQOO 5
• iQOO 3
• iQOO Pro
• iQOO
• iQOO Neo3

The registrations for these devices have begun from January 6 and will remain open until January 20. Anyway, the build will be pushed only from January 11-13. 

However, it is worth noting that the company has only allocated 5,000 seats for each of the above-mentioned 11 smartphones. Hence, if you are using the Chinese variant of any of these handsets, then head over to the respective community pages of vivo and iQOO to enroll in the program.

Having said that, vivo is yet to announce OriginOS for global markets. Only then, we would know when the international versions of vivo and iQOO devices will be getting the latest software update.

Yesterday, vivo announced its new Android skin called OriginOS. The latest mobile software by the company is totally different than its predecessor Funtouch OS. In other words, vivo overhauled its existing software with new design elements and features in such a way that one cannot believe that both were developed by the same company. That said, a day after the conference, the Chinese smartphone maker has revealed all the eligible devices along with update timeline.

According to the official Weibo account of OriginOS, a total of 33 vivo and iQOO-branded smartphones will be updated to the new operating system. The announcement post also reveals that the new software will come pre-installed on the upcoming X series flagship smartphones.

Having said that, the company has divided the rollout into the following three batches.

• Before January 31, 2021
• Before the Chinese New Year (February 12, 2021)
• Q2 2021

Also, just like OPPO ColorOS 11 update schedule, this one also only denotes the starting of the Open Beta rollout. That means the final stable build will take a little bit more time to reach the end-users.

That being said, here’s the official OriginOS update roadmap shared by vivo.
