Vivo has started rolling out the OriginOS 6 update globally for its X300 series smartphones as of December 10, 2025. The update brings several new features that were previously exclusive to the Chinese version of OriginOS 6, enhancing the user experience for international users. This major software upgrade focuses on improved sound control, lockscreen customization, and new gaming-related widgets.
One of the most notable improvements in this update is the enhancement of the Global Silent Mode. Before this update, enabling Silent Mode on Vivo X300 phones would mute calls and notifications but left media volume, such as music or videos, still active. Users often had to manually lower the media volume to achieve complete silence. Now, OriginOS 6 adds an option that disables media volume automatically when Silent Mode is turned on. This option is accessible in the Sound and Vibration settings menu, making the silent experience more comprehensive and user-friendly.
Enhanced Global Silent Mode
The updated Global Silent Mode addresses a common pain point for Vivo users. By integrating media volume control within the silent setting, Vivo eliminates the extra step of manually adjusting media sounds in quiet environments. This change aligns well with the system’s goal to provide a more intuitive and seamless audio experience for users on the X300 series.
Lockscreen Customization with Text Styles
Another exciting feature newly available on the global OriginOS 6 version is the Text-Style Lockscreens. This feature, already popular in the Chinese release, allows users to personalize their lockscreen’s appearance by applying various text-based designs, fonts, and decorative styles. Although it does not add new functional capabilities, it significantly enriches the visual customization options for users. The text-style designs are crafted to integrate harmoniously with OriginOS 6’s overall interface, giving phones a fresh and elegant aesthetic.
New Gaming Widgets: Game Space and Game Center
Vivo also introduces two new widgets aimed at enhancing gaming experiences on the X300 series. The first widget, called Game Space, offers quick toggles to access installed games without showing any game recommendations. This clean and focused interface is well-suited to flagship devices like the Vivo X300, allowing users to launch games faster without distractions.
On the other hand, the Game Center widget includes direct game recommendations on the home screen. This approach received mixed feedback as some users find the forced recommendations intrusive and disruptive to the otherwise clean interface. Given that X300 is positioned as a high-end device, the inclusion of pervasive recommendations in the widget might not appeal to all users.
OriginOS 6: A Global Experience
The rollout of OriginOS 6 for the Vivo X300 series marks a broader push by Vivo to harmonize the user experience between its domestic Chinese market and international markets. This update follows similar deployments on other flagship models such as the Vivo X Fold5 in Indonesia. Vivo’s strategy reflects its commitment to consistent software support and feature parity worldwide, enhancing user satisfaction and device longevity.
This global update continues Vivo’s trend of replacing FuntouchOS with OriginOS 6, aiming to deliver a more refined and user-centric system. Though some features like the Text-Style Lockscreens focus mainly on aesthetics, others like the enhanced Global Silent Mode address practical usability issues. Additionally, the dual approach with gaming widgets provides options depending on user preference for a minimalist or recommendation-driven gaming interface.
Users of the Vivo X300 series should expect the update to arrive in phases, depending on region and carrier. After installation, the new OriginOS 6 offers a balanced mix of visual enhancements and improved functional controls, catering to both everyday use and gaming activities on these devices. The update is a significant step in maintaining Vivo’s competitiveness in the global smartphone market by catering closely to user feedback and technology trends.
