Vivo began rolling out a new OriginOS 6 update globally for the X300 series on December 10, 2025. This update brings some features already available in the Chinese version to international users and adds new functionality to the global build of OriginOS 6. The update primarily focuses on volume control, lock screen customization, and new widgets, although some criticisms suggest that certain features haven’t been fully considered.

Improved Silent Mode for Vivo X300 Series!

The most useful change in this release is the improvement to the Global Silent Mode. Previously, when Silent Mode was enabled, only calls and notifications were muted, while media sound remained active. With the new update, users can now also disable media sound when Silent Mode is activated. This option is available in the Sound & Vibration section of the Settings menu. This change makes Silent Mode more complete, eliminating the need to manually mute media sound in quiet environments.

Text Style Lock Screens have also been added to the global version of OriginOS 6. This feature allows users to apply different text-based designs, fonts, and decorations to their lock screens. While it doesn’t add new functionality, it offers more visual customization, giving users more control over the appearance of their lock screens. The designs are noted as being well-made and consistent with the overall style of the interface.

The Game Space Widget provides a shortcut button for users to quickly access installed games. By not displaying any game recommendations, it keeps the interface clean and focused. It’s a widget that works as expected and is fitting for a premium device.

The Game Center Widget, unlike Game Space, brings game recommendations directly to the home screen. This approach has been criticized for disrupting the cleanliness of the interface and giving a feeling of intrusion. For a flagship phone, the inclusion of mandatory recommendations within a widget is considered a difficult step to justify in terms of user experience.

While Vivo aims to improve the user experience in the global market with this update, particularly the Silent Mode and Lock Screen customizations have been positively received, the promotional approach of the Game Center widget has led to mixed reactions.
