Vivo has officially launched OriginOS 6, its new Android 16-based software, at the 2025 Vivo Developer Conference.

Other new AI tools include:
- AI Assistant for smarter voice prompts and quick summaries.
- Circle to Search 2.0, allowing users to circle or screenshot anything and instantly get AI-powered answers.
- AI Image Editor to enhance photo resolution, erase backgrounds, and convert images into PDFs.
These tools make daily tasks like editing, searching, and multitasking smoother and more intuitive.

A Fresh, Modern Look
Vivo has redesigned the entire interface with a focus on clarity and depth. The new design introduces circular app icons, curved-edge widgets, and real-time blur effects that give a soft 3D “liquid glass” look inspired by iOS, but with Vivo’s unique touch.
The new “Atomic Island” offers quick access to controls for music, timers, and notifications, while a resizable clock widget dynamically adjusts as alerts arrive.
Underneath the visuals, the Blue River Smooth Engine powers faster performance with super-core computing, dual rendering, and photonic storage. Together, these deliver ultra-smooth animations, faster touch response, and lag-free scrolling. A refreshed lock screen with music controls and an updated control center add both style and functionality.
BlueOS 3 and CarLink 3.0
Alongside OriginOS 6, Vivo introduced BlueOS 3 for smartwatches. The update will first arrive on the Vivo Watch 5 and iQOO Watch 5 (Wi-Fi and Cellular) via public beta starting November 3.
BlueOS 3 offers:
- Up to 33 days of battery life on the Vivo Watch GT 2
- New always-on display faces
- Smoother physical animations
- Blue Heart V calling and personalized app recommendations
It shows Vivo’s growing ambition to rival Samsung’s Galaxy Watch and Apple’s WatchOS ecosystems.
Meanwhile, CarLink 3.0 brings smarter in-car connectivity. It supports faster wireless pairing, low-latency screen projection, and app syncing between smartphones and car infotainment systems. Users can manage music, navigation, calls, and notifications seamlessly from the dashboard all supported by improved voice controls.
