OriginOS 6 to Bring a Dynamic Glow Interface
In a follow-up post, the company showcased its new OriginOS 6 interface, which will power the iQOO 15. The Android 16-based operating system introduces a Dynamic Glow design that focuses on smoother motion and refined visuals. The interface redesign extends to the home screen, lock screen, and app layout.
OriginOS 6 has already been introduced in China and takes inspiration from Apple’s Liquid Glass look. It uses circular icons and curved widgets to give the interface a clean and layered layout. The system adds new effects like real-time and progressive blur and stacked notifications for improved visual depth. A new feature called “Atomic Island,” modeled after Apple’s Dynamic Island, allows users to receive alerts and control tools such as the stopwatch and music playback directly from the top of the screen.
