The genesis of OriginOS centers around three frontiers based on smartphone consumer demands design, smoothness, and convenience.

Therefore, OriginOS repurposes familiar features with new exciting designs to create the ultimate smartphone experience.

The smoothness of OriginOS was showcased at the event, flaunting a series of comprehensive software updates that allow users to run complex multi-faceted processes on their vivo device in an effortless manner, assimilating into all aspects of their daily lives. OriginOS is equipped with an advanced desktop information management system that provides users with convenience and clarity in the services they desire on a day to day basis. This newfound simplicity within the smartphone infrastructure can be utilized by vivo partner developers to create original scenarios for efficient usage and empower problem-solving for a broad group of common users. 

At the event, vivo also delivered its latest update and strategy on application services, mobile games, business partnership, open technology development, and IoT ecosystem.
