iQOO Has Been Actively Listening to Feedback 

This isn’t the first time iQOO has acted on user feedback. Earlier this year, the company announced that the iQOO 12, originally promised 3 years of OS updates and 4 years of security updates, will now get 4 years of OS and 5 years of security support instead. That’s a full extra year added for both, and such upgrade promises are rare in today’s Android market.

And recently, the brand started rolling out OriginOS 6, a complete overhaul of its software experience, replacing FuntouchOS 15. After community input, iQOO even added previously ineligible models like the iQOO Neo 7 and Neo 7 Pro to the update roadmap, both of which will receive the new OS in the first half of 2026.
