Today, vivo announced a significant milestone in the Chinese smartphone market. The company is now taking the lead with a 17.93% market share and a volume of 11.95 million units in Q2 2024, solidifying it as the number one Chinese smartphone brand in China.

Smartphone manufacturers are planning ways to increase the whole display proportions on smartphones and one of them will be reducing the notch sizes for the front selfie cameras and even turn it into an under-screen camera. A few days ago, vivo’s latest patent has been leaked with a detachable camera.

Based on a statement by gizchina, it seems that future vivo smartphones could come equipped with image sensors that were developed by vivo themselves. While not much is known in regards to the exact smartphones that will come with the aforementioned image sensor, it does give us a better idea of what to expect from vivo in the future.

Just yesterday, vivo unveiled their latest OriginOS which will replace ColorOS in the future. There will be many new features for vivo smartphone users to use but perhaps the most important question is which phone would get the upgrade. To answer that, the company just posted the official roadmap on which vivo phone will be getting the software update.

"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. This time around, vivo happens to be the second player entering the game as they have commenced research and development on 6G technology.

Today marks the first day of the Mobile World Congress (MWC) Shanghai 2019 and under the theme of "Intelligent Connectivity", Vivo was quick to showcase several innovations that they have in store for us. Most of the features were already speculated a few days ago and all of them are true, such as the new 120W Super FlashCharge technology, AR Glass, and its first commercial 5G smartphone.

If you have already balik kampung and suddenly find yourself in dire need of a new vivo smartphone, worry not as vivo has opened two brand new vivo Concept Stores in Queensbay Mall, Penang and Aman Central, Alor Setar. To celebrate the occasion, vivo is giving a 50% discount on smartphone accessories.

Instead of just balik kampung this Raya, why not go on holiday? From the 25th of May to the 9th of June, any customer who purchases a vivo smartphone is eligible to be in the running to win a 6 day and 5 night holiday to one of these countries of their choosing which are Japan, China, Korea, Turkey, India, Mecca, Croatia, Greece, Egypt, France, Germany, Australia or Italy.

In a piece of unrelated news to vivo Malaysia, the vivo in China has just recently completed their new headquarters in China. From a distance, the architecture piece looks awesome but even more so on the inside, where it's a mix of technology, nature, and plenty of outdoor spaces such as parks and courtyards.

iQOO, vivo’s gaming sub-brand is said to come out with premium and futuristic phone designs. Futuristic may be the keyword here as leaked images of a foldable phone has surfaced on the internet, said to belong to the sub-brand.
