vivo’s first Android 16 Beta version is officially launched: supports X200 Pro and iQOO 13

 vivo officially announced today that the first Android 16 Beta version is officially launched, and the first batch supports X200 Pro and iQOO 13.

However, it is currently only for developers to help developers experience the features of the new version first and develop corresponding functions. It is strongly not recommended for ordinary users to download and use it.

Installing the developer preview version on a vivo device will cause data loss in the phone, so be sure to back up your data before upgrading.

The steps for manually burning the firmware take iQOO 13 as an example, as follows:

(1) Download the iQOO 13 developer preview version software package firmware.

(2) After the device is connected to the computer, switch the phone’s USB settings to file transfer mode and copy the downloaded software package firmware to the iQOO 13 phone storage root directory.

(3) Follow the above steps, click the upgrade package in Settings->System Upgrade->Local Upgrade, and start the upgrade after the verification is completed.

(4) Wait for the phone to automatically upgrade.
