At the annual developer conference, vivo talked about its Android 13-based OriginOS 3. This year’s release focuses on the background. Animations have improved and you now get interactive resizable windows for apps that support it, but most do anyway. But overall it’s more about performance and under-the-hood improvements.
Windowed mode app
OriginOS 3 offers intelligent, adaptive processing and lower-level planning. As a result, the system will always prioritize what’s important in the foreground, but will also apply an “anti-aging” effect for 48 months. Essentially it means that OriginOS 3 won’t slow down over time.
If the system has to close an authorized app due to insufficient memory, it will record the latest state of the app and once reset, nothing will be lost.
An interesting feature that could have potential in the future is related to the fluidity of movement. If the system detects fewer frames during a transition or animation, it will replace the missing frames with a seemingly black screen and improve perceived visual smoothness. However, it only works in 60Hz mode.
An icon widget folder has been added and you can tap on the app itself inside the folder to open it. It looks a lot like Huawei’s HarmonyOS interactive folders and Honor’s Magic UI on the home screen.
Of course, the entire presentation was in Chinese and was about the Chinese versions of vivo’s phones. However, most, if not all, of the features will likely be introduced in global drives running on Funtouch OS.
