Vivo S1 Pro, Vivo Z1 Pro, Vivo Z1x Get Android 11-Based Funtouch OS 11 Update in India: Report
Vivo S1 Pro, Vivo Z1 Pro, Vivo Z1x were released with Android 9 Pie and subsequently received Android 10
Vivo S1 Pro, Vivo Z1 Pro, and Vivo Z1x are reportedly receiving Android 11-based Funtouch OS 11 update in India. However, the updates for all three Vivo smartphones are currently under greyscale testing. In greyscale testing or soak testing, the software is rolled out to a few users for bug testing before it is rolled out more widely. Vivo S1 Pro, Vivo Z1 Pro, and Vivo Z1x launched with Android 9 Pie-based Funtouch OS 9 and subsequently received the Funtouch OS 10 update based on Android 10.
A few users have tweeted that Vivo S1 Pro, Vivo Z1 Pro, and Vivo Z1x are receiving Android 11-based Funtouch OS 11 update. The tweets were first spotted by PiunikiaWeb. But since Vivo is currently soak testing the updates on these smartphones, expect the update to be rolled out to all smartphones sometime soon.
While the Vivo S1 Pro update has the build number rev 8.12.6 and is 3.79GB in size and the Vivo Z1x update has the build number rev 8.70.31 and is 3.29GB, there has been no information regarding the build number for the Vivo Z1 Pro update. It is advisable that all these smartphones are updated when charging and connected to a stable Wi-Fi.
