It is fairly established that one does not buy a vivo smartphone to get quick updates of the Android operating system. The company has traditionally been among the slowest to deliver them, and the situation is no different with Android 10.
vivo unveiled Funtouch OS 10, the latest iteration of its Android 10-based skin, in December, months after Google originally released the finalized version of the OS. What about updates? They have been missing so far.
Fortunately, that will change very soon. After some delays due to the coronavirus, the company finally announced today a revised update schedule for its devices. Note that this applies to the Chinese market – international models will lag behind as usual.
The first models to get a public beta version of Funtouch OS 10 with Android 10 are the NEX 3 and NEX 3 5G on March 14. However, only 4000 people will receive this, and they must register first.
Then, at the end of March, it will extend to the X27 and X27 Pro, followed by the NEX S, NEX A, NEX A with on-screen fingerprint sensor and NEX Dual Display in early April. In mid-April, the update will arrive for the vivo S5, while the Z5, Z5i, Z5x, S1 and S1 Pro will see it in late April. The vivo Z3, Z3i and X23 will have to wait until the end of June for some reason.
That’s it, the full list of handsets that will receive Funtouch OS 10 based on Android 10. At least, things finally seem to be going in the right direction now, with updates underway. We will notify you if something changes.
