AnonD-1113943, 15 Aug 2023yeah it is stupid how much bloatware OEMs have but they don... moreThen how about Google apps? They are bloatware too considering there are two browser (OEM internet browser and chrome), two email app (OEM and Gmail) even two app store (most Chinese phone come with own app store, and google play store)

    TAX1BUS101, 15 Aug 2023darlingyext I'm literally right it does have bloatware... moreI own phones with Origin OS, so I know you aren't right. Why bother trying to convince me about this? Get lost already.

      darlingyext I'm literally right it does have bloatware so shut up

        Well 3 ois more than enough to not end with outdated hardware unable to run all new apps and games.

          Vivo should really combine the two UIs already ffs

            justasmile, 15 Aug 2023And without stereo speaker.And likely trash haptics if the V27 is anything to go by. And no wireless charging for this price.

              Letting us choose between the two would he cool. Also pls chanre the name to anything other then "fun touch". The name is just plain silly

                AnonD-1113943, 15 Aug 2023I think FM radio, calendar, clock and weather are bloatware... morethat's true

                  Luthfor, 15 Aug 2023I dnt care bloatware cause i can remove all app by usb debuggingyeah it is stupid how much bloatware OEMs have but they dont have essential apps like NASCAR or Indiana News or Dark Knight Rises

                    I live in Malaysia but I owned a vivo iQOO Neo7 SE with OriginOS. It's feels miles better compared to Funtouch and the UI is very desirable. I wish they can go global already.

                        Wow, the company manager calls their own OS skin (the chinese one, but still their own) as being „bloaty“. Major faux pas.

                          I think FM radio, calendar, clock and weather are bloatware apps - I had a Lg phone that came with very useful software prerequisites like NASCAR App or CNN

                            TAX1BUS101, 15 Aug 2023not even that's good but it has bloatwareit does have bloatware

                              DarlingYext, 15 Aug 2023"..OriginOS remains China-exclusive" That'... morenot even that's good but it has bloatware

                                And without stereo speaker.

                                  2 years of OS upgrades and 3 years of, probably quarterly or biannual, security patches. Pretty poor considering cheaper Samsung phones have the same or better support.

                                  I really don’t understand why these Chinese think they can charge premium pricing while delivering subpar support. And they wonder why the Chinese consumers themselves prefer iPhones.

                                    DarlingYext, 15 Aug 2023"..OriginOS remains China-exclusive" That'... moreBUT THE BOOTLOADER!!!!!!! thats why people prefer funtouch over origin because the bootloader is unlockable

                                      what's the point of this phone?

                                        "..OriginOS remains China-exclusive"

                                        That's sad, it's better and more unique than FunTouch OS.
