Rust Rust is an iron oxide, a usually reddish-brown oxide formed by the reaction of iron and oxygen in the catalytic presence of water or air moisture. Rust consists of hydrous iron(III) oxides (Fe2O3·nH2O) and iron(III) oxide-hydroxide (FeO(OH) ...

language is supported on the operating system for security advancements. BlueOS aims to run on various devices, including devices that has low as 32 MB of RAM that targets a wide range of devices, from smart home appliances and wearables. Vivo has not announced plans to install BlueOS on its smartphones in the early stage of the new operating system development. This meant that custom Funtouch OS and OriginOS operating systems based on AOSP remains to be the default operating systems for Vivo smartphones. On November 13, 2023, Vivo Watch 3, becomes the first device from the company that ships with the new operating system. It reportedly supports different hardware architectures, with multiple
