vivo and iQOO will soon start rolling out Android 15 beta to select phones (mid-October is the official timeline) and today vivo has formally introduced OriginOS 5, the new version of its operating system based on the latest Android version .
It promises improvements across the board, from 15% faster application launch and 30% faster switching time between apps, to a 26% reduction in CPU power consumption. The new system also intelligently allocates GPU and RAM resources to keep the foreground app running as smoothly as possible.
OriginOS 5 lets you customize the lock screen by adding controls and widgets. The company has also updated the user interface design language for a more consistent layout and appearance.
And it won’t surprise you that AI is a highlight of this update. It’s all about the “Blue Heart Little V Assistant”. vivo has launched its own version of “circle to search,” which will display Little V with search results and recommendations based on what you’ve circled.
You can create virtual clipboards with photos, videos, published articles, links and more. Little V organizes these into ‘memory fragments’ based on your activities and travels to capture important moments.
As for your personal photos and videos, it organizes them into highlight reels, complete with music and even lyrics to match the mood of the reel.
There’s a new Dynamic Island-style UI that makes cards appear at the top of the screen when you copy a piece of content – the context-sensitive AI will automatically associate that content with relevant activities. You can also use drag and drop to add more.
Similar maps dynamically refresh to provide relevant information based on time and location. The unified Settings page helps you take control of all these smart features.
Little V will of course help you write and rewrite messages. It can even handle calls in different languages for you. When the call ends, you’ll get a summary in the Atom Notes app.
It can break down another communication barrier: it can interpret sign language and communicate using a virtual human avatar. Little V can also help visually impaired users with their daily needs.
Little V can also be your navigation system, as it connects to your car’s infotainment system. It can help you answer calls and messages. As above, it can handle the call all by itself and just give you a summary. You can also talk to it and ask questions about the messages you have received.
OriginOS 5 gains support for the Matter protocol, allowing it to orchestrate your smart home. You can quickly check and control the status of things like air conditioners, lights and other smart gadgets by pulling down the control center.
Finally, Little V is available for Windows, Mac, and as an online version, so you can transition smoothly from using it on your phone to using it on your computer.
OriginOS 5 is coming to recent flagships in the vivo X and iQOO series. Updates will continue with older models into 2025. Follow the Source link for the official timeline for OriginOS’ rollout in China.
