Vivo has officially launched OriginOS 7, its latest operating system based on Android 17, to international markets. The update introduces a redesigned interface, new multitasking capabilities, cross-device connectivity, and a built-in Jovi AI agent designed to streamline everyday tasks.
Dynamic Glow Design Refreshes the Interface
One of the standout features of OriginOS 7 is its new visual language. Vivo has incorporated translucent materials, dynamic lighting, and physics-based animations across system elements, creating an interface that responds naturally to user interactions. The Origin Animation system includes Fluid Motion, which allows interface elements to stretch, bounce, and move based on touch direction and speed, while Spring Animation applies similar principles across apps and system components.
Personalization options have also been expanded with features like Wiggle Theme, Glint Theme, and StickIt, enabling users to customize photos, wallpapers, stickers, and other elements on both lock and home screens.
Jovi Becomes a Cross-Device AI Agent
OriginOS 7 introduces Jovi as a personal AI agent that works across connected devices. Through the Vivo Office Kit, Jovi can handle tasks involving smartphones and computers. For example, users can ask Jovi to retrieve a file from a connected computer, summarize its contents, and send the key information to their phone. Scheduled tasks can also be configured for activities such as preparing reports or organizing files.
Vivo has added Jovi Security to provide greater visibility into autonomous actions. The system records actions performed by the agent and requires user authorization for important steps. Additionally, Snap Note can turn photographs of handwritten notes, whiteboards, and presentation slides into editable documents.
Better Multitasking and Device Connectivity
OriginOS 7 expands cross-device connectivity beyond Vivo’s own ecosystem. Compatible Apple Watch models can display notifications and synchronize health information, while AirPods users can access battery information and Spatial Audio on supported devices. The Vivo Office Kit also supports task handoffs, real-time note synchronization, and file transfers between Vivo phones and iPad, Mac, and Windows devices. Users can access iCloud photos and files through Vivo’s File Manager in supported markets.
Global Preview and Rollout
The OriginOS 7 preview program is now available for the Vivo X300 Pro and select iQOO devices in markets including India, Thailand, and Malaysia. The wider rollout will extend to additional Vivo and iQOO smartphones, though feature availability may vary by device and region.
With this release, Vivo combines a major interface redesign with productivity tools, broader device connectivity, and the new cross-device capabilities of Jovi, marking a significant expansion of the OriginOS experience outside China.
