TL;DR
- Funtouch OS 15 has began touchdown for the vivo X Fold 3 Professional.
- The Android 15-based launch arrives simply three weeks after Google’s code hit the AOSP.
How large of a tease does Android 15 really feel like proper now? Possibly we’ve all gotten a little bit too used to aggressive launch schedules, and broad public betas, however this yr’s Android improve has positive felt much more troublesome to entry than most in latest reminiscence. The brand new Pixel 9 telephones arrived with out Android 15 on board, and Samsung is taking its candy time getting its personal Android 15-based One UI 7 to testers. As most of us sit round twiddling our thumbs, it seems that one producer’s Android 15 replace has already began heading out to telephones.
Over the summer time we discovered ourselves enamored with the vivo X Fold 3 Pro. The slender, light-weight foldable felt prefer it may pull off this contemporary kind issue with out compromising on issues like a robust digital camera or distinctive battery life. We even discovered the software program fairly polished, and actually the most important draw back was that it was solely obtainable in India and Indonesia.
The telephone shipped operating vivo’s personal Funtouch OS 14, primarily based on Android 14. Whereas we lamented that the corporate’s assist coverage would solely assure three main platform updates, we positive didn’t anticipate to see them begin touchdown so quickly: The vivo X Fold 3 Professional is already getting Funtouch OS 15, as reported by homeowners like Ishan Agarwal on X (by way of PhoneArena).
There’s actually no good purpose why this shouldn’t be occurring — in spite of everything, Google pushed the Android 15 source out onto the AOSP again at first of the month. And whereas this represents a really speedy turnaround for vivo to finish improvement, carry out obligatory testing, and put together for distribution, it’s clearly not an untenable schedule.
Now we’re simply curious who’s going to be subsequent. The ultimate construct for Pixel telephones ought to be right here quickly, however will one more OEM swoop in and beat Google to the punch? Tell us your guesses within the feedback.
