Origin OS 6, Based on Android 16, to Replace Funtouch OS in India: iQOO CEO Confirms
Good news for iQOO and Vivo smartphone users. The CEO of iQOO India has confirmed that the new Origin OS 6, based on Android 16, is launching in India soon. Until now, Indian models ran on Funtouch OS, while Origin OS was available in China. With this update, India will now also receive the same new interface that the company offers in its home market.
Origin OS 6, based on Android 16, will soon be available in India, as announced by the iQOO India CEO via social media. It will replace Funtouch OS 15, though it is uncertain if existing Vivo and iQOO phones in India will also be updated. In China, Vivo and iQOO devices already run on Origin OS, and now the company is introducing it to the Indian market.
iQOO India CEO Nipun Marya confirmed on Twitter that Origin OS 6, based on Android 16, will soon launch in India, replacing Funtouch OS 15. Up to now, Vivo and iQOO phones in India used Funtouch OS, while Chinese versions ran on Origin OS. This change aims to unify the user experience across markets.
The announcement supports earlier reports that Vivo and iQOO were planning to bring Origin OS 6 to India. Additionally, the company changed the Funtouch OS X profile username to OriginOS (@FuntouchOS_IN) shortly before this news, suggesting a transition.
