Vivo was one of the largest mobile manufacturers that until recently were not in Spain. Within its catalog of devices, the Vivo X51 5G is the best that has arrived in our country, and a few weeks after its arrival it is being updated to Android 11.
Vivo updates to Android 11 and maintains its pure Android aesthetic
The arrival of Vivo in Spain has not left us indifferent, and the design of the operating system has been well studied by the brand, offering a version of Android very different from the one offered in China. The company is aware that in Europe we like pure Android, and so they did with its customization layer.
The speed of updates is not bad either, and is that the Vivo X51 has begun today to update in Spain to Android 11 in an update that maintains the aesthetics despite continuing to be called FunTouchOS. The update weighs 3.72 GB and includes improvements to the task manager, games mode or albums, in addition to including the always-on screen mode.
Vivo has not left any of the details that make Android 11 unique. We have direct access to home automation through the power button, the integration of multimedia content in the quick settings, improvements in notifications, floating bubbles in applications such as Telegram.

The Vivo X51 pro is a mobile that, as we mentioned in the analysis, its main strength was the cameras, which are exceptionally good, while in other sections such as performance and battery they left much to be desired. With the arrival of Android 11, this mobile earns many points.

- Notifications:
- Notification bubbles: Android now incorporates a native floating notification system similar to the Facebook Messenger bubbles, but much more efficient (so much so that even Facebook abandons its system in Android 11). Applications like Telegram are already experimenting with this system and it is to be hoped that it will also end up on WhatsApp.
- Controls for multimedia applications are now part of the quick settings panel.
- Now we will have a notification history for each application.
- Grouped notifications have a cleaner and more visual appearance.
- Priority notifications allow us to select more important contacts and receive personalized notifications with their avatar and able to bypass do not disturb mode.
- After holding down the power button, we will not only have access to payment cards, but we also have the possibility of having control of the home automation.
- Privacy:
- Specific storage becomes a mandatory feature: From now on, applications that require the use of storage permissions will not be able to register your mobile in full, but only access the files necessary for their use.
- An exception is made for file managers, which still need full access.
- Automatic restoration of permissions: When we have not used an app for a long time, it will lose access to the permissions it already had.
- One-time permissions for camera or microphone: Want to give an app permission to use the camera or microphone but don’t want to give it permission forever? Now you can allow them to use these elements once.
- Specific storage becomes a mandatory feature: From now on, applications that require the use of storage permissions will not be able to register your mobile in full, but only access the files necessary for their use.
