Vivo delays rollout of Android 10 based FuntouchOS 10 due to coronavirus

Coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, China disrupted Xiaomi's plans regarding the development of MIUI 11, and also had a similar impact on OnePlus and Realme. Now the epidemic has affected another smartphone manufacturer: Vivo announced a forced postponement of the launch of the FuntouchOS 10 shell based on Android 10.

Google has already launched the first preview version Android 11 for developers. Thus, there are several months left until the release of the next version of Android, but Vivo smartphones will still use Android 9 Pie from two years ago for several more months.

Vivo was planning to start the beta testing phase this month, but the epidemic has greatly affected the company's plans. Now, the first public beta of FuntouchOS 10 is expected to appear only at the end of March. The first smartphones to receive the latest firmware will be NEX 3, NEX 3 5G, NEX S, NEX Dual Display, X27 and X2 Pro.

Among the most significant changes in FunTouchOS 10 is a redesigned interface, including new icons, animations, live wallpapers and glowing borders. In addition, the shell will include standard Android 10 features such as gesture navigation, privacy controls, dark mode and other optimizations. Let's hope that the company won't need another month to release a stable update for the mentioned devices. After all, as already noted, developers and enthusiasts are already familiar with the innovations and advantages of Android 11.
