OriginOS 6 top features
Design, Visuals, and User Interaction
OriginOS 6 introduces the “Light and Shadow Space” design to simulate natural light and depth, creating a more intuitive interface. Notifications now use stacked layouts for clarity, and Gradual Blur effects separate elements from the background for smoother visuals.
Mirror Screen Effects provide dynamic changes from different viewing angles, while AI Lighting Effects respond to Xiao V interactions. The Customizable Lock Screen adopts the modular Huarong Grid, allowing flexible clock placement and photo alignment.
Interface animations use Elastic Motion Effects, Frame Morphing, and Frame Blur for fluid transitions, while Seamless Transitions maintain continuous flow between apps.
