What Is New in the Origin Design?
The new Origin Design focuses on movement and depth. Dynamic Translucent Material adapts to the background, which gives the interface a see-through, layered look. It comes in three styles: Realistic, Natural and Soft.
Fluid Motion adds liquid-like behaviour across more than 200 scenarios, according to vivo. In plain English, taps, swipes and transitions feel smoother and more natural.
Pet Pals puts a pet on the lock screen that reacts to what you do. It responds to moments like charging, listening to music or a low battery, and you can tap or shake the phone to play with it.
The Wiggle Theme and Glint Theme also react to movement. Tilting or shaking the phone triggers light and liquid-like effects, even on a static wallpaper.
How Does Origin Workbench Help With Multitasking?
Origin Workbench lets you run up to five apps at once. You can resize the main window and pick a horizontal or vertical layout.
AI Cross-App Drag lets you drag text or images from one app into another app's input area. An "intent wheel" then offers actions such as text extraction, translation or creating a contact. In plain English, you drag once instead of copying and pasting.
⚠️ Note: vivo says Origin Workbench needs specific models with 12 GB of RAM or more. Cross-app drag availability varies by device and region.
What Does Snap & Go Do With Screenshots?
Snap & Go reads key details from screenshots of travel plans and event tickets. It then suggests adding them to your calendar through Origin Island, vivo's on-screen alert area. This saves you from typing dates and times by hand.
Which AI Tools Come With OriginOS 7?
Jovi is vivo's AI agent. It can find information, read files and pull out key points. Through Office Kit, it also works across a connected phone and PC.
Smart Call Assistant adds AI Call Answering when you cannot pick up. It also adds a Call Overview, an AI summary inside your call log. AI Recorder transcribes meetings, lectures and interviews and can write summaries.
How Does OriginOS 7 Connect Your Devices?
Office Kit supports camera sharing, notes, task handoff and file transfer between devices. Shake & Share sends files to several people at once, even across brands, without using mobile data.
On compatible devices and in supported regions, vivo says OriginOS 7 also works with Apple Watch, AirPods and iCloud. Origin Island can also show battery and connection status for compatible audio devices.
