After years of anticipation, vivo is finally bringing its most advanced and intelligent operating system, OriginOS 6, to Malaysia. Built on the foundational efficiency of Android 16, this update is set to be a transformative moment for vivo users globally, ending the regional split between the Chinese-exclusive OriginOS and the international FuntouchOS.
OriginOS 6 is arriving with a bold promise: to deliver a smartphone experience that feels smoother, smarter, and more personalized than ever before. This is not just a cosmetic skin change; it’s an architectural overhaul designed to integrate next-generation AI and seamless cross-device connectivity into the fabric of the mobile experience.
A New Era of Fluidity and Design
OriginOS 6 introduces a completely reimagined user interface that prioritizes fluidity, customisation, and elegance. The system is built for the high refresh rates found in modern phones, leveraging AI-optimized animations and enhanced resource management that makes even mid-range devices feel significantly faster. Internally, vivo claims up to 11% faster app opening times and a substantial 57% increase in responsiveness.
The visual overhaul is characterized by:
- Transparent Aesthetics: The design leans towards subtle transparency and nuanced drop shadows, allowing color palettes to blend seamlessly with the background for a more unified and pleasant visual experience.
- Dynamic Notifications: One of the most exciting upgrades is the introduction of a Dynamic Island-like Live Capsule—a contextual display feature that shows real-time updates for calls, timers, and notifications without forcing the user to leave their current app.
- Intuitive Customisation: Users gain greater control over personalization, including the ability to rearrange the location of the lock screen clock, stack widgets on the home screen to manage space effectively, and choose from dynamic color accents.
AI Integration and Cross-Ecosystem Connectivity
OriginOS 6’s intelligence stems from its deep integration of machine learning directly into system-level processes. This elevates the AI features far beyond simple automation:
- Smarter Suggestions: In partnership with Google, vivo has integrated Gemini AI-based smart suggestions, allowing the OS to intelligently learn user habits, anticipate needs, and recommend actions or apps contextually.
- AI Photo Tools: New tools, such as the ability to remove objects from Live Photos and use Smart Image Categorization in the Gallery app, streamline photo management and editing.
- Simplified Controls: The improved Control Centre will feature AI-suggested shortcuts and one-tap controls for smart home devices, eliminating manual digging through menus.
The update also paves the way for a unified digital ecosystem. OriginOS 6 introduces seamless cross-device connectivity that extends beyond Android. This allows users to connect with Apple devices, using iPads as secondary screens, syncing notes, and sharing photos seamlessly across different operating systems.
Malaysian Preview Program and Rollout
For Malaysian users, the long wait is finally over. OriginOS 6 is set to revolutionize the smartphone experience, delivering enhanced privacy protection and next-gen AI capabilities.
As part of its local debut, vivo Malaysia is launching an exclusive Preview Program. Starting now, 500 X200 Pro users will be selected to gain early access to OriginOS 6 ahead of the official nationwide rollout, which is expected to begin on October 15, 2025. Participants will be among the first to experience the new OS and provide crucial feedback to help vivo fine-tune the system for the local market.
Interested vivo X200 Pro users can register by navigating their phone’s settings: Settings > System Update > Settings (top right) > Trial version > Closed beta sign-up.
