Live wallpapers are is another feature that we have seen across multiple UIs in 2020. Vivo is jumping on the bandwagon as it is also bringing live wallpapers to the OriginOS. Though Vivo’s approach with Live wallpaper seems quite good. Instead of showing surfaces and planets, Vivo has decided to show weather elements in form of live wallpaper. For this, the company aggregated data such as the shape, size, and density of the cloud layer from different regions. The company then simulates the data, and show it as your wallpaper. As a result, the weather and cloud speeds vary for different regions.

OriginOS also comes pre-loaded with live wallpapers that depict blooming flowers. OriginOS also provides you an option to set your own live wallpaper, but your chosen wallpaper will change a bit to depict varying light and shadow effects.
