Vivo has announced the launch of OriginOS 7 in China. The new software version based on Android 17 comes with a range of updates covering the user interface, system performance, AI capabilities, battery management, connectivity, accessibility and security. In India, the OriginOS 7 preview program for iQOO 15 and Vivo X300 Pro has also gone live.
OriginOS 7: What’s New?
OriginOS 7 brings a new Light and Shadow visual system that changes brightness, colours, movement and visual depth based on the environment, time and user interactions. The update also adds dynamic translucent materials, an immersive home screen, liquid themes, Q-bounce effects, AI-generated pet themes and flash card themes that respond to the phone’s movement.
Then there’s a new Atomic Animation 7.0 system which makes interface elements deform, separate, merge and rebound during interactions. Atomic Workbench also enables different multi-window layouts, including side-by-side apps and a top-and-bottom arrangement. Vivo says its six-year anti-aging test recorded just 5.08% degradation in system fluidity.
OriginOS 7 also introduces the Blue River Smooth Engine, which reconstructs parts of the rendering pipeline, compilation framework and storage architecture. vivo claims 14% higher rendering efficiency, 19% faster page-switching response, 12% faster App launches and 60% faster memory recycling. Storage Compression 2.0 can also provide up to 25GB of additional available space on a 256GB device.
Blue Heart Small V gets expanded AI capabilities with a new Pro Mode that can remember habits and preferences and complete complex tasks step by step. It can assist with travel planning, personal errands and job hunting, including customising resumes and conducting mock interviews. Small V can also handle system settings, create personalised widgets, answer questions about photos and understand live video.
OriginOS 7 adds AI features across screenshots, photos, files, calendars, notes and recordings. These include automatic recognition of voucher codes and passes, AI-based gallery cleaning, document and contact searches through the keyboard, file grouping, AI-assisted calendar scheduling, memory cards, recording summaries and AI photo retouching.

The update also focuses on battery management. Micro-Power Wizard 3.0 can maintain basic functions such as calls and location-linked text when the battery is critically low, while Transparent Battery Life shows estimated remaining usage time and charging time. The Blue Ocean Smart Engine adjusts power consumption based on activities, while other changes target UI rendering, network standby and charging behaviour.
Connectivity and accessibility features include Dual-Path Directional Audio, cross-device collaboration through vivo Office Suite, expanded smart-home controls and Smart Car Connectivity 7.0. vivo says the latter supports more than 190 automotive brands and 10,000 SKUs. OriginOS 7 also adds a Sign Language Interpreter and vivo Vision for real-time video understanding.
On the security side, OriginOS 7 adds sensitive permission alerts for location, microphone and camera access, along with additional controls for notifications, app sounds and vibration.
