Vivo OriginOS 5 Brings a Smarter Experience in the Age of AI

In the past two years, AI has undoubtedly been the hottest keyword. Both mobile phone manufacturers and chip manufacturers are using AI as a major selling point, and phones are starting to see features like text-to-text, text-to-image, and AI photo removal, providing users with a more convenient operating experience. However, current AI can only meet daily usage needs. Users crave a deeper experience, such as using voice commands to control the phone to automatically execute tasks, like the intelligent assistant Jarvis in Iron Man. To achieve this goal, both AI and the system need to be constantly iterated and optimized, and manufacturers are working towards this direction.

When it comes to the most aesthetically pleasing and smoothest operating system in domestic mobile phones, Vivo's OriginOS is definitely the first choice. After four years of iteration, OriginOS 5 finally met the public, touting the slogan "Natural, Smooth, and Super AI". This signals that the focus of this upgrade is on AI. In the following content, we will delve into the AI features of OriginOS 5 to see what improvements it brings.

AI Experience 1: Blue Heart Xia V Deeply Integrated with the System, Making Text-to-Text and Text-to-Image Easy

In OriginOS 4, users needed to first call up the Jovi voice assistant through the power button and then use voice commands to use Blue Heart Xia V's AI functionality. In the latest OriginOS 5 system, the Vivo team responded to user feedback, merging Jovi voice and Blue Heart Xia V into a single entity, defaulting to Blue Heart Xia V without the need for additional voice activation. In addition to the original methods of launching via APP icons, desktop widgets, sidebars, and floating balls, OriginOS 5 has added voice, long-pressing the bottom navigation bar, and other methods, further simplifying the operation steps.

To test the intelligence level of Blue Heart Xia V, we carefully designed several questions of varying difficulty:

• Question 1: If two cups of 50-degree water are poured together, will you get a cup of 100-degree water?

Blue Heart Xia V easily answered this question and provided a detailed explanation, outlining the principles of temperature mixing.

• Question 2: What are the respective market values of Intel and AMD?

Blue Heart Xia V can search the internet for the latest data and accurately answer this question.

• Question 3: Set brightness to 50%, volume to 50%, play "Ordinary Road", and open the browser.

Blue Heart Xia V flawlessly executed this multi-task instruction, demonstrating its powerful task combination ability.

These three questions, with varying degrees of difficulty, were easily answered/completed by Blue Heart Xia V. Next, we tested Blue Heart Xia V's image search capabilities. Users simply need to circle the key content in the image, and Blue Heart Xia V can automatically identify and provide an answer. For information like celebrities and car models, it can directly answer comprehensively. For category logos and objects, users need to further interact, choosing to describe the images, extract text, caption posts on social media, etc. We tested whether Blue Heart Xia V could accurately identify a "Durian Cake" without a drawn circle. It performed exceptionally well, correctly identifying it.

Blue Heart Xia V also possesses text-to-image capabilities. In "Discovery," by entering through the "Intelligent Painting" function, users can directly state their needs without adding trigger words like "generate" or "draw". Currently, it supports two styles: anime painting and traditional Chinese painting. We hope Vivo will add more styles in the future.

AI Experience 2: Supports AI Call Summarization, Drag-and-Drop Text and Images in Atomic Islands

OriginOS 5's phone app has also integrated AI. When answering calls, users can choose the Xia V Phone Assistant, which includes features like summarization, simultaneous translation, and AI calling. We experienced the summarization feature, and after the call, the system pops up a call summary in Atomic Island, extracting the key points of the conversation between both parties.

In addition to the phone function, OriginOS 5 provides "Xia V Helps Remember" for third-party apps, enabling a similar experience. Apart from AI calling, other functions are available for use. We tested a 5-minute online class, and the generated summary accurately identified the content.

Similarly, "Xia V Helps Remember" also supports simultaneous translation, smart reminders, and other functions.

OriginOS 5 has also upgraded Atomic Islands. Users can drag text and images into Atomic Islands. For example, if we drag a location name to the top Atomic Island, the system will prioritize map-related apps at the forefront, eliminating the need for manual input or copy-pasting, automatically searching for the corresponding location, which is very convenient. Image operations are also simple. Just long-press and drag into Atomic Island, and the system will recognize potential app operations, such as saving to the album or sending to a friend, further simplifying user operations.

Other: Connection Center Supports Vehicles and Home Appliances, Enhanced Accessibility Features

In terms of connectivity, OriginOS 5 has added a Connection Center to the control center, supporting not only Vivo's own tablets, TWS headphones, and smartwatches, but also connecting devices like computers and TVs. Home appliance support covers major domestic brands. The system also includes a car key function, essentially encompassing mainstream car models, including Tesla's Model X and Model S.

In language design, OriginOS 5 presents a completely new language system, incorporating card layouts, background blur, and frosted glass effects, making the visuals refreshingly new. The weather widget also adopts a new design, offering a new dynamic weather background, employing a groundbreaking horizon perspective to display richer astronomical and meteorological information. All dynamic weather backgrounds change with time, showcasing sunrise and sunset, moonrise and moonset, colors, shadows, and lunar phase changes.

OriginOS 5 brings more flexible personalization customization functions. For example, the lock screen interface can change font styles and colors to create a personalized interface.

Beyond design changes, OriginOS 5 introduces the newly designed Intelligent Car System 5.0, consistent with the phone system style. In Car System 5.0, voice large models can be integrated into the car machine, enabling the same smooth dialogue and operation as on the phone. After connecting with the phone, information can be sent to the car machine via Atomic Islands, making navigation one-click accessible on the car screen after getting in the car.

In terms of human-centered care, OriginOS 5 further enhances its accessibility experience, adding Vivo See, Vivo Hear, and Sign Language Interpreter to meet the needs of individuals with diverse requirements.

• Vivo See can identify objects on the screen.

• Vivo Hear, building on its previous foundation, has added seven dialects: Sichuanese, Henanese, Cantonese, Hebei dialect, Wuhan dialect, Jinan dialect, and Miao language. It can convert inputted text into dialect audio, and also includes an offline mode, allowing for use even without an internet connection.

• The Sign Language Interpreter supports sign language recognition based on AI virtual humans, converting inputted text into sign language for learning, and allowing users to study and practice sign language vocabulary.

Beyond enhancing accessibility features, OriginOS 5 also opens up Blue Heart Xia V's voice and dialect options to regular users, allowing customization of personal voices. Users can replicate their voices with only a 15-20 second recording, delivering a more natural and authentic language interaction experience.

Conclusion: Significant AI Progress, Overall Experience Remains Top Tier

After experiencing OriginOS 5, the most notable improvement, besides animation enhancements and battery life improvement, is the AI experience, with deeper integration with system levels. Vivo finally listened to user feedback, merging Jovi voice and Blue Heart Xia V, eliminating the need for multiple "Open Blue Heart Xia V" activations, allowing AI functions to better serve users. The AI-generated content and automatic responses better align with user habits, avoiding an overly "AI-flavored" feel. This reflects Vivo's aspiration to provide a convenient experience for the public without losing human touch.

According to Vivo, Blue Heart Xia V can also achieve booking functions, eliminating cumbersome operation steps. It will confirm user needs in the dialog box and automatically execute operations. It can also automatically find restaurants and communicate with vendors. However, these functions were not yet available during our experience, creating much anticipation.

Enjoying an experience akin to Iron Man's intelligent assistant Jarvis may become a reality in the near future. With a simple voice command, this intelligent assistant can handle various tasks for you, automatically replying to emails, booking flights and train tickets, making the phone truly a dedicated smart life assistant.

In terms of human-centered care, OriginOS 5's addition of Vivo See, Vivo Hear, and Sign Language Interpreter meets the needs of different users, reflecting the ongoing progress of domestic manufacturers in accessibility experience.

In terms of system optimization, aside from lock screen personalization and other detail improvements, OriginOS 5 upgrades unfair scheduling to 3.0. It can dynamically reorganize CPU cores for task scheduling, achieving optimized configuration of CPU resource allocation. Simultaneously, Unfair Scheduling 3.0 brings GPU unfair scheduling, identifying GPU computing power in heavy load scenarios, prioritizing computing power to ensure the fluidity of the foreground, providing a smoother user experience.
