Based on a statement by weibo user, it seems that a bunch of info relating to the vivo Watch may have been leaked, hinting that the wearable is expected to come equipped with a SpO2 monitor, as well as up to 18-day battery life. While there’s no news on the Malaysia release date, we do know that there will be a 42mm and 46mm variant of the watch.

A colour-changing smartphone? But why? Well, why not? Found on the forum threads in Weibo, the new technology seem to be developed by vivo and its affiliated company, BBK is responsible for this cool piece of tech. Here's what we know about it so far.

As August comes to an end, we approach two major dates for our country, namely 31 August and 16 September. In conjunction with this Merdeka season, various smartphone brands are running some amazing promotions. To make it easier for you to shop and compare the available promotions, we've made a list of available promos below.

Consumers would be familiar with vivo for their camera-focused smartphones and their iQOO gaming devices (which never get released outside of China), but it seems that the company have finally made a move to enter the laptop and tablet market. According to a Chinese media news outlet, vivo was spotted applying for multiple trademarks that end with a "book" and "pad".

It seems that a patent from vivo hints that they could be working on a smart band that comes equipped with a curved display. While not much is known in regards to the band, our source provided a few images which give us a better idea on what to expect when it is officially unveiled.

A weird patent filed by vivo seems to hint that they could be working on a smartphone that comes equipped with a display with a rotating display at the bottom. Based on the patent, it seems that the bottom section houses an in-display keyboard which can be used when rotated.

Some may find it silly at this point, but companies are continually pushing battery charging speeds to crazy levels. We've seen Xiaomi experiment with 100W fast-charging last year and Black Shark is working on that for its next flagship gaming phone. And now sources claim that we'll see actual products that support 100W fast-charging by Q1 2021.

It seems that the vivo Watch has been spotted on 3C and it will most likely come with a speaker system that supports audio playback. While not has been confirmed in regards to the exact tech specs of the smartwatch, we can expect it to be unveiled very soon due to the fact that it was recently certified by 3C.

It seems that Vivo’s upcoming earbuds called the Vivo TWS Neo has been posted on their official website, and it seems to come equipped with a 14.2mm drivers and an AptX codec from Qualcomm. While not much is known in regards to the exact price of the aforementioned earbuds, gizmochina claims that it will most likely be cheaper than RMB799(~RM486).
