July 29, 2025: A fresh wave of buzz has taken over the smartphone community — is Vivo finally bringing its futuristic Origin OS to India by merging it with Funtouch OS? While no official announcement has been made, several insider reports hint at something massive brewing behind the scenes.
What is Origin OS?
Origin OS is Vivo’s custom Android skin originally launched for the Chinese market. Known for its visually stunning UI, atomic animations, interactive widgets, and advanced privacy controls, it’s considered a major leap from the current Funtouch OS used globally.

Heard that Vivo is planning to merge Funtouch OS and OriginOS, but this is still just speculation.
What’s Funtouch OS, and Why Replace It?
Funtouch OS, while functional and widely used, has often been criticized for its outdated design and lack of innovation. With users demanding a cleaner, faster experience, the merger with Origin OS could be Vivo’s answer to staying ahead in the competitive Indian market.

If the rumors are true, most recent Vivo phones (launched in 2023 or later) could receive the merged UI update via OTA. Models like Vivo V27, V29, X90 series, iQOO Neo series might be among the first to experience it.
What Vivo Has Officially Said?
So far, Vivo India has not made any public statement about the Origin OS launch. However, sources close to the brand indicate that a “major UI upgrade” announcement may be on the way during the upcoming festival season.
