In fact, OriginOS and pure Android, which is available to users of Pixel smartphones from Google. Also, interestingly, users will be able to select and switch between these two options easily; without the extra step of unlocking the bootloader or any complex action.

In addition, the company previously said that the upcoming user interface will be available for existing Vivo smartphones as well.
