vivo smartphones in Europe to update to latest OS version in three batches from January 2022

vivo announced that products in the European market will be updated with the latest edition of Android 12 which was released publicly in October from the end of January. The company is among the first smartphone manufacturers to release the latest version of the Google operating system to its products.


The rollout of the Android 12 beta version in Europe will run in three batches from the end of January, gradually covering all users of vivo smartphones. The X60 Pro and the V21 5G will be the first products to receive the update, followed by the popular Y series (Y21, Y72 5G, Y52 5G).


vivo has confirmed that the entire product line-up sold in Europe will receive the Android 12 update. However, the rollout plan from the end of January to April 2022 only includes products sold on non-operator channels. It does not apply to vivo smartphones bought via operator channels. Specific dates for the update of vivo smartphones purchased through these channels will be determined by carriers.
