The Vivo V5, launched in late 2016, was a mid-range smartphone that captured significant market share, particularly in Southeast Asia and India. Famous for its "moonlight glow" selfie camera and sleek metal unibody design, the V5 shipped with Android 6.0 Marshmallow layered under Vivo's custom Funtouch OS 2.6. For many users, the burning question that lingered for months after purchase was:
Prior to this update, Funtouch OS resembled iOS in aesthetic, lacking an app drawer. The Android 7.0 update refined this look. The notification shade became more translucent, and the toggles were redesigned for better accessibility. The settings menu was simplified, adopting a cleaner layout consistent with Nougat standards, making it easier for users to navigate system preferences.
An improved battery saver that triggered even when the phone was moving in a pocket. Funtouch OS Specific Changes: Revamped visual design and app icons. Enhanced "Smart Split" functionality.
Over-the-air (OTA) incremental rollout
