I've tried Vivo with OriginOS and tbh I'm not really a fan of it and still kinda prefer FuntouchOS more, probably because I'm a stock guy and it looks closer to stock android lmao.

    Because average consumer ironically just don't understand anything about it. They don't know and don't care much about spec and software support.

    > And they wonder why the Chinese consumers themselves prefer iPhones.
    Different price range.

        they also put a notch onto the v23 series

          Chicago Bulls, 16 Aug 2023is it the US variant with radio FM?Unfortunatelly not, as I'm located in Hungary, so it's the Exynos variant, but it does have 5G.

          I do miss my vivo X Note, and in a few days I will go back to it, but I don't absolutely hate the experience, as I thought I would.

              Anyways, on a more interesting "Note", I just a bought a used, but good condition Galaxy Note 10+ for 200 usd, because I was curious. It's the Exynos 9825 version, but so far I like it and the pen is cool too, still don't like One UI tho..

                          i dont think mr goetz knows what people want.

                          we want all the features of origin os, with the stability of funtouch os, and none of the ads/recommendations/tracking.

                          they can keep the ads/recommendations/tracking in the china version.

                            Title is confusing...I was in shock vivo will provide 3 OS updates and then...I read the whole topic haha

                              Only thing considered bloatware are "recommendation" apps. Most Chinese phones have these "bloatware".

                                  Maybe the picky western audience want "simple" os
