Based on a statement by IDC, vivo shipped more than 54.3% of the total 5G smartphone shipment in China, which is significantly more if you compare them to other smartphone competitors. The reason vivo was able to achieve this feat, was due to the fact that vivo had already started investing in 5G since 2016. As of today, vivo has applied more than 2000 5G patents as well as 3000 more technical proposals to the 3GPP Standardisation Organisation.

"6G? 5G is not even set in motion yet!" Yes, you're right about that. The last time that we actually wrote about 6G was when Samsung was reportedly looking into 6G in their labs.

Vivo has posted a short video on their Weibo account, showcasing their new 120W Super FlashCharge technology and its charging capabilities. Based on the video description, the aforementioned charging technology is capable of charging the Vivo smartphone that is equipped with a 4000mAh by up to 50% in just 5 minutes, while fully charging the phone will require up to 13 minutes. Which is pretty quick, especially when you compare the average charging time for a typical smartphone.
