Funtouch OS is an Android-based operating system developed by Vivo. It was initially released in 2013 and serves as the primary software on Vivo smartphones.

History
The Vivo X5 was the first device to run Funtouch OS 2.0 in 2014. Although it is based on Android 4.4.2, the operating system has been modified to provide functions and design elements exclusive to Vivo devices. Funtouch OS has seen numerous updates over the years, each of which has added new functionality and enhancements to the system.{{Cite web |author= |date=2014-09-30 |title=Vivo Funtouch OS 2.0 Leaked, Based on Android 4.4.2 |url=https://www.gizmochina.com/2014/09/30/vivo-funtouch-os-2-0-leaked-based-on-android-4-4-2/ |accessdate=2025-01-31 |website=GizmoChina}}{{Cite web |author= |date=2014-10-08 |title=Vivo's Funtouch OS 2.0 is the lightest Android 4.4 OS in history |url=https://www.gizmochina.com/2014/10/08/vivos-funtouch-os-2-0-is-the-lightest-android-4-4-os-in-history/ |accessdate=2025-01-31 |website=GizmoChina}}
On November 19, 2020, Vivo announced the launch of a new generation mobile phone system, Origin OS (the international version still uses Funtouch OS) at the Shenzhen Conference, replacing the current Funtouch OS user interface. OriginOS has improved the visual and tactile smoothness, and also strengthened RAM management, which can achieve the effect of increasing "virtual RAM" through better utilization of built-in storage space.{{cite news |author1=Sanji Feng |title=Vivo 公佈 OriginOS 升級計畫 |url=https://chinese.engadget.com/vivo-originos-update-043204664.html |accessdate=2020-11-21 |work=Engadget 中文版 |date=2020-11-19 |archive-date=2020-11-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201129033834/https://chinese.engadget.com/vivo-originos-update-043204664.html}}
