  "account": "Vivo is set to introduce OriginOS 7, the latest update for its smartphones, during its 2026 Developer Conference on September 16. The company has been teasing various design elements that will be featured in the update. These include translucent materials, lighting effects, and fluid animations reminiscent of Apple's iPhone Liquid Glass design. Additionally, Vivo will unveil its proprietary Blue River OS 4 at the conference, along with updates on its AI strategy and broader ecosystem. The upcoming OriginOS 7 update brings a new visual style described by Vivo as \"light and shadow aesthetics.\" UI components interact with content beneath them, creating a layered appearance with light and shadow passing through translucent surfaces. To tackle readability issues on complex backgrounds, the system employs pixel-level \"see-through color\" technology that dynamically adjusts specific areas for improved contrast. This approach mirrors Apple's Liquid Glass design language, focusing on transparency, depth, and lighting. OriginOS 7 also introduces a new liquid animation system. The company has rebuilt its Blue River rendering engine based on Virtual GPU 4.0, along with modifications to the rendering pipeline and compilation framework. Vivo claims OriginOS 7 achieves a 14% faster rendering speed compared to OriginOS 6. Animations now react directly to user interactions, such as generating ripple effects when pressing buttons or altering lighting and shadows based on drag gestures across the screen. The lock screen is also receiving a redesign with the introduction of the Liquid Theme. This theme reacts to device movements, causing elements to move in a jelly-like fashion and producing water-ripple animations when the phone is tilted or shaken, akin to playing with a fidget toy. Another option, the Flash Card Theme, allows users to transform photos, characters, or locations into cards displayed on the lock screen. Users can adjust clock fonts to better suit each design. A new system-wide sticker library has been added to OriginOS 7. Users can place stickers on the desktop, within albums, on wallpapers, and on the Always-on Display. The software can even generate stickers from photos by identifying the main subject and removing the background, enabling pets, people, characters, or other objects to become reusable stickers. Vivo will also roll out an upgraded version of its Blue Heart Intelligence strategy, which will leverage large models and Harness technology to deliver more personalized AI experiences. The company will officially introduce Blue River OS 4 and discuss its latest work on AgentOS. Security, human-centric technology, and ecosystem development will also be part of the keynote. OriginOS 7 is scheduled to be officially unveiled in September, with Vivo likely to introduce it alongside the Vivo X500 series in China. The rollout to India is expected sometime next month or possibly in October, though Vivo has not provided a specific date. Further details regarding device compatibility and the rollout schedule are anticipated following the official announcement on September 16.",
