Chinese smartphone brand vivo launched the vivo Y17 in the first half of 2019. The handset debuted with Funtouch OS 9 based on Android 9.0 Pie. The device was updated to Android 10-based Funtouch OS 10. Now, it has started receiving Funtouch OS 11 (Android 11) update as well.

The vivo Y17 is not the first vivo budget smartphone from H1 2019 to get the Android 11 update. In early March, the company began to roll out this update to another such device called vivo Y12, which debuted at around the same time.

Anyway, according to a report by PiunikaWeb, the vivo Y17 Funtouch OS 11 update is currently in greyscale testing. This means the update is only available for a select few users.

For those unaware, vivo grayscale testing is similar to Xiaomi MIUI Stable Beta. This type of builds are released for a few set of users for testing purpose before a wider rollout. If these users don’t face any major issues, the build is gradually seeded out to more users.

Anyway, all vivo Y17 users should receive the Android 11 update in the coming weeks. Lastly, it is worth noting that Funtouch OS 11 is the last major update for this handset since vivo is known for providing only two Android updates for most of its phones.
