Vivo X27 & X27 Pro Funtouch OS 10 (Android 10) public beta recruitment begins

China has been the worst affected country due to the Coronova Virus outbreak. As a result, various tech launch events were either canceled or got delayed. OEMs also had to make some changes to their plans accordingly.

For example, OnePlus, Xiaomi and Realme had to delay their scheduled updates. Likewise, Vivo’s beta recruitment process for its latest Funtouch OS 10 also got delayed. After this hold-up period, Vivo went back to work and revealed the roadmap for the Funtouch OS 10 update, based on Android 10.
