Vivo Introduces OriginOS 7 Globally, Bringing Smoother Performance and Smarter AI to Smartphones

MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Vivo has officially introduced OriginOS 7 globally, its latest operating system designed to deliver a smarter, smoother, and more intuitive smartphone experience. Unveiled in Shanghai, China, on September 21, OriginOS 7 combines performance improvements, advanced multitasking, cross-device connectivity, personal AI capabilities, and deeper customization.

According to Vivo, OriginOS 7 builds on the foundation of OriginOS 6, with the company focusing on what it describes as a new level of smoothness and intelligent functionality.

At the heart of the new operating system is the next-generation Origin Smooth Engine, which improves graphics computation, memory management, and system scheduling. Its Ultra-Core Computing technology dynamically allocates processing resources based on user demand. Vivo’s internal testing indicates that OriginOS 7 can reduce app cold-start times by 10% and improve app page switching by 11%. Memory Fusion can also reclaim up to 60% more memory and free as much as 25GB of additional storage on a 256GB device under Vivo’s test conditions.

For multitasking, Origin Workbench allows users to coordinate up to five active applications within a unified workspace. This is designed to make activities such as working on documents, checking notes, messaging, and reviewing content easier to manage without constantly switching between separate screens.

OriginOS 7 also introduces Origin Animation, featuring physics-inspired interactions such as Fluid Motion and Spring Animation. These technologies are designed to make swiping, scrolling, and transitions feel more natural and responsive.

Connectivity is another major focus. Supported Vivo smartphones can connect with devices such as Apple Watch, AirPods, iPad, Mac, and Windows PCs through various features. Vivo Office Kit enables functions including task handoffs, note synchronization, and cross-screen file transfers, while selected iCloud content can be accessed through Vivo File Manager.

The operating system also introduces Jovi, Vivo’s personal AI agent. Through supported devices, Jovi can assist with retrieving files, summarizing information, organizing tasks, and other productivity functions. Snap Note can transform photos of whiteboards, handwritten notes, and presentation slides into editable documents.

Meanwhile, users can personalize their devices through features such as Wiggle Theme, Glint Theme, StickIt, and Pet Pals, offering more interactive lock-screen and home-screen experiences.

OriginOS 7 will be available on the Vivo X500 Series, as well as new X Fold and V Series devices. Availability and features may vary by device, software version, and market, with further Philippines availability details expected through Vivo’s official channels.

Roblox Unveils Major Updates to Expand Gaming, Creation, and Creator Earnings

Roblox is entering a new chapter as the platform celebrates 20 years of innovation and looks to give creators more ways to build, reach, and monetize their games. At its 12th annual Roblox Developers Conference (RDC) in San Mateo, California, Roblox Corporation announced a broad set of updates covering three key areas: Play, Build, and Grow.

Under Play, creators will soon be able to make their Roblox games available as standalone applications across mobile devices, PCs, and consoles. Roblox is also expanding browser-based gaming, with Chrome support expected by the end of the year, allowing players to launch games directly from an Experience Details Page without installing the Roblox app.

The platform is also introducing offline and single-player capabilities that can be combined with online gameplay. Developers will gain additional tools for creating 2D and puzzle experiences, including orthographic camera support and sprite-sheet imports. New social features, such as a Friends chat tab that follows players across experiences and voice typing, are also being introduced.

For creators, Build represents another major development. Roblox's prompt-to-game tool is expanding into public alpha testing in Singapore and Serbia after its initial New Zealand rollout. Creators have already published approximately 9,000 games using Build, with 71% reportedly coming from people who were new to Roblox Studio. Roblox also plans to introduce prompt-to-scene generation and expanded NPC capabilities, including NPCs that can participate in playtesting.

The Grow initiative focuses on creator monetization and game discovery. Roblox Wallet will provide eligible U.S. creators aged 18 and above with a financial account designed to support real-currency earnings, daily payments, and fund transfers. Global expansion is planned for next year, while the Roblox Card, connected to the Wallet, is expected to roll out next year.

Roblox is also enhancing discovery through its Moments tab, where players can watch gameplay videos and transition into games, alongside updates to its discovery ranking system.

Additional announcements surrounding RDC include the launch of Dream Racers, an AI-built racing game showcasing Roblox's 4D “Cube” technology, the Roblox Fall Games Preview, the return of classic branding for the platform's 20th anniversary, and the 2026 Roblox Innovation Awards.

With these developments, Roblox is continuing to expand beyond its traditional gaming model, giving creators more tools to develop experiences, connect with audiences, and access new monetization opportunities.

Ragnarok Origin Classic’s “Sakura Vows” Update Redefines MMORPG Romance with a Player-First Approach

While many modern MMORPGs continue to monetize progression through stat-based upgrades and pay-to-win mechanics, Ragnarok Origin Classic (ROOC) is taking a refreshing step in a different direction. With the launch of the “Sakura Vows” update on April 24, publisher Gravity Game Vision reinforces its commitment to a social-first gameplay experience—one where connection, not power, drives engagement.

At the heart of the update is a fully realized marriage system that returns to what made MMORPG relationships meaningful in the first place: shared adventures and memorable moments. Unlike traditional wedding systems tied to stat bonuses or premium currency advantages, ROOC ensures that marriage remains purely social. This aligns with the game’s long-standing promise to players: grow with Monthly Pass only, without introducing hidden progression shortcuts.

The update introduces three wedding ceremony tiers, each offering a unique visual presentation but identical gameplay stats. The most accessible option, the Eternal Contract Wedding, costs only 999,999 Eden Coins, making it available to nearly every adventurer without requiring real-money purchases. Meanwhile, the Sakura Oath Wedding and Beyond the Stars Wedding offer expanded ceremony animations, themed outfits, mounts, and cosmetic collectibles—but still no gameplay advantage. It’s a clear message from the developers: romance should never depend on spending power.

Adding even more depth, the new Wedding Renewal feature allows couples to celebrate their ceremony again at minimal cost, inviting guildmates and friends to relive the occasion. Rather than being a one-time transaction, marriage becomes a recurring social milestone worth sharing.

Beyond weddings, the Sakura Vows update transforms Prontera into a cherry blossom festival setting, introducing seasonal immersion and several cooperative features designed to strengthen player interaction. Highlights include the Out Loud Confession system, the duo-based Rainbow Covenant quest, and the personality-driven MBTI Oracle matchmaking feature, which adds a playful layer to in-game relationships. Players who participate in events and maintain a 15-day login streak can also earn exclusive cosmetics such as the Sakura Headwear.

Looking ahead, additional content continues to expand the experience. The upcoming Love Potion matchmaking feature and the PvE challenge Sakura Spirit promise ongoing engagement throughout the event period.

More than just a content patch, Sakura Vows represents a philosophy in action. Through transparent communication from producer Big Kitty and consistent player feedback integration, ROOC demonstrates that its player-first design approach is not marketing—it’s part of the game’s identity. As cherry blossoms fall across Prontera, the update invites players to build stories that are meaningful, shared, and entirely their own. 

Globe Redefines Quality of Connectivity via Consistent Service and Daily Network Reliability

In an increasingly digital-first nation, Globe is shifting the connectivity conversation from peak speeds to the true measure of quality: Quality of Experience (QoE) and Quality of Service (QoS). Following a landmark year of investments in infrastructure in 2025, Globe continues to refine its network beyond pure functional connectivity to one that’s empowering through jobs and livelihood, education and financial services, requiring reliable, always-on services, and inclusive access.

While "speed" often dominates headlines, Globe has focused its network strategy on consistency, the ability to deliver stable, high-quality connections during the moments that matter most. This commitment was recently validated on the global stage when Globe received major accolades at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025 for network consistency, based on real-world data from user-initiated tests.

Globe has maintained its leadership in network consistency for nine consecutive quarters with Ookla, reflecting a disciplined investment in "everyday reliability." This focus is personal for the brand, ensuring that whether a student is in a virtual classroom or a small business that’s processing a digital payment, the connection holds.

This recognition also places Globe among the top selected Mobile and Fixed Operators in Southeast Asia to achieve national-level consistency awards across both fixed broadband and mobile networks.

“What matters is how consistently our customers stay connected in their daily lives, even if they are at work, at home, and on the move. Our focus remains on building a network that is resilient and designed around real experiences,” said Carl Cruz, Globe President and CEO.

Bridging the 4% Gap: From Terrestrial to Space

Globe’s pursuit of quality extends to the most remote corners of the archipelago. In 2025, the company successfully reached 100 more Geographically Isolated and Disadvantaged Areas (GIDAs), pushing its national coverage to approximately 96%. To address the remaining 4%, Globe recently finalized a historic partnership with Starlink to deploy Direct-to-Cell (DTC) technology.

A first in Southeast Asia, this allows standard LTE mobile phones to connect directly to satellites, acting as "cell towers in space." This ensures that even in "dead zones" or during natural disasters, when land-based towers might be compromised, essential communication remains active.

Speaking at the DICT Kapihan Session on January 21, 2026, DICT Secretary Henry Aguda lauded these advancements:

"The entry of new technologies like direct-to-cell service is a game-changer for our digital economy. It ensures that no Filipino is left offline, regardless of their location. This is the kind of meaningful connectivity that spurs growth in the countryside and brings government services closer to every citizen."

A Future Built on Reliability and Trust

Globe saw mobile data traffic grow to over 3,100 petabytes, a testament to the heavy reliance Filipinos place on the network. To support this, Globe has deployed AI-ready, all-optical network infrastructure to improve energy efficiency while maintaining service quality.

By moving beyond the "speed" race and focusing on the quality of experience and service, Globe is ensuring that its use of advanced technology supports real-life needs that is sustainable, dependable connectivity for every Filipino.

PUBG Mobile Launches Play for Green, Inviting Millions to Take Positive Climate Action

LONDON – September 2024 – PUBG MOBILE, one of the world’s most popular mobile games, has today launched a new campaign called ‘Play For Green’. The campaign launches as part of Green Game Jam organised by Playing For The Planet, an initiative supported by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to support the planet in real action through games and raise awareness of environmental protection.

Featuring a new official map series, a new in-game event, multiple new challenges for players and exclusive themed rewards for them to earn, Play For Green aims to empower and mobilise the global PUBG MOBILE playerbase, facilitate the support of key real world conservation projects and showcase how we can come together to create a greener future. The campaign follows a recent global survey of PUBG MOBILE players which revealed that 88% of players polled are concerned about climate change and the effect this will have on their futures and 91% have already experienced the effects of climate change in their own country.* 

The Ruins of Erangel

Created in collaboration with UCL professor Mark Maslin, PUBG MOBILE integrated climate related themes into the game, building a new official map series ‘The Ruins of Erangel’ in World of Wonder, reimagining the iconic heart of Erangel after 100 years of climate change.The Ruins of Erangel takes into account the current rate of climate change, according to relevant geographical data, and imagines the famous ‘Ruins’ area of Erangels. The research found that in 100 years, without intervention, our planet could suffer the same fate as The Ruins of Erangel, plagued by rampant sandstorms, drought, and a devastating depletion of tree and plant life.

The Ruins of Erangel: Sandstorm challenges players to gather essential medical packs and face off against one another in a high-stakes challenge of survival. As the impending sandstorm looms, players must carefully manage the timings of their healing to withstand the damage dealt by the storm. 

The second map, the Ruins Of Erangel: Exploration offers a unique, narrative-driven experience designed to immerse players in a powerful story about the impact of climate change. This map takes players on a journey through a series of checkpoints, each unveiling a new chapter in the tale of Erangel's transformation. As PUBG MOBILE players advance through the map, text prompts appear at each checkpoint, guiding them through the landscape and deepening their understanding of the environmental challenges depicted.

Read the exclusive white paper of Prof. Mark Maslin’s research which informed the ‘Ruins of Erangel’ and provides 10 key ways individuals can also help support the planet here. 

Run for Green

Through a special in-game event ‘Run for Green’, running from September 11th to September 24th, players will be able to help real-world environmental projects protect a total of equivalent to over 350,000 sq metres of ecologically vital land across Indonesia, Pakistan and Brazil. During the event, the sprint distance of players across PUBG MOBILE’s Classic modes will contribute towards server-wide milestones aiding projects across the world in protecting vital habitats and supporting Earth’s precious ecosystem. 

• The Cerrado Biome Project in Brazil works to preserve one of the world’s most biodiverse savannahs by incentivizing landowners to conserve native vegetation, which plays a crucial role in carbon storage.

• In Indonesia, the Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve Project protects one of the last wild populations of orangutans and involves local communities in sustainable practices to reduce human-wildlife conflict. 

• Finally, in Pakistan, the Delta Blue Carbon – 1 Project focuses on regenerating mangroves in the Indus River Delta, enhancing community resilience against climate change while preventing biodiversity loss. 

Through the ‘Run for Green’ in-game challenge, players will also unlock a series of items and in-game experiences including the special ‘Preservation Garden’ in Home mode featuring a series of beautiful plants and trees which are currently endangered. The ‘Preservation Garden’ aims to raise awareness of the importance of the world’s endangered flora and give them a digital home in PUBG MOBILE for players to learn more about them through interactive signs and enjoy their natural wonder.

World Of Wonder Green Creative Contest

To encourage players to envision a brighter future and engage with climate positive activities, several additional themed items including the majestic yet endangered California Redwood and Giant Baobab trees are also being added to World of Wonder mode. PUBG MOBILE is inviting its creators to continue the conversation around climate change by using the newly released ‘Ruins of Erangel’ template in World of Wonder mode, alongside these new items, to raise awareness of current or future issues, and to imagine a better tomorrow. The winning maps, judged by the PUBG MOBILE team, will be highlighted in World of Wonder and win their share of the $12,500 prize pool. Creators will be able to submit their entries from September 12th to September 25th. What’s more, if players collectively play the official Play for Green maps in World of Wonder and/or any creator map submitted in the World Of Wonder Green Creative Contest a total of over 10 Million times, PUBG MOBILE has pledged to double their real world action for the supported projects.

Global Action Challenge

Another exciting competition is being held on PUBG MOBILE’s official social channels. Running from September 17th until 30th, the PUBG MOBILE Global Action Challenge invites players to share photos or stories of local environmental initiatives they have either taken part in since the Play For Green Campaign launch or have signed up to, for a chance to win exclusive in-game items. To enter, players need to tag PUBG MOBILE’s official channel and include #PUBGMPlayforGreen, alongside details of the project and how their support will help the planet! 

Vincent Wang, Head of PUBG MOBILE Publishing at Tencent Games said: “Through the ‘Play For Green’ campaign, we’re using the power of gaming to address one of the most pressing challenges of our time: climate change. With initiatives like the ‘Ruins of Erangel’ maps and the ‘Run for Green’ event, we’re not just creating immersive content for our players—we’re inspiring a global community to take real-world action. This is gaming with purpose, and PUBG MOBILE is proud to be at the forefront of this movement.”

Prof. Mark Maslin, Climatologist and professor at UCL said: “Climate change is not just a distant threat—it’s a reality that will impact every corner of our world. The ‘Play for Green’ campaign in PUBG MOBILE is a powerful tool for raising awareness, offering players a glimpse into a possible future shaped by climate change. By merging science with interactive storytelling, we’re helping to educate and engage a global audience in the fight to protect our planet.”

Sam Barrett, Co-founder Playing for the Planet and the United Nations Environment Programme’s Chief Youth, Education & Advocacy said: “The Green Game Jam 2024 is all about harnessing the unique power of gaming to inspire and encourage players to get their sleeves rolled up and take action themselves. Whether it is making a different choice of what to eat, how to travel or power your home or using our voice to speak out, people power has always played a role in making the world one we all want it to be. The Green Game Jam has been built as a sandbox for all studios to get players to consider how small actions can make a real difference. We look forward to seeing how PUBG MOBILE’s ‘Play for Green’ campaign inspires even more people to act.”

Players can show their support for PUBG MOBILE and the Play for Green campaign in the Green Game Jam’s Player's Choice Awards here.
