vivo Unveils First Mixed Reality Headset and New Imaging Strategy at 30th Anniversary

vivo marked a dazzling milestone at its 30th anniversary Vision Launch Event, unveiling the company’s first foray into spatial computing: the ultra-lightweight vivo Vision Discovery Edition mixed reality headset. This launch not only signals vivo’s entry into the world of MR devices, but also showcases the brand’s relentless commitment to cutting-edge innovation and user-centric design.

From Dream to Reality: A New MR Experience

A result of four years of research and engineering, the vivo Vision Discovery Edition is engineered for daily comfort and immersive entertainment. Weighing just 398g and standing at a sleek 83mm tall, it’s more than a quarter smaller than the industry average, making it easier to wear – even during extended use. With four customizable light seals and eight foam padding options, every user can find their perfect fit for all-day comfort.

Powered by OriginOS Vision, the device shifts the interaction paradigm: natural gestures and high-precision eye-tracking replace conventional screens and touch, letting digital experiences blend seamlessly into your real world. Thanks to its Dual Micro-OLED screens, users enjoy stunning 8K binocular resolution and cinema-grade color with 94% DCI-P3 coverage — think blockbuster movies, panoramic sports broadcasts, and a virtual 120-foot home theater, all at your fingertips.

At its core sits the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 platform, delivering 2.5x GPU and 8x AI performance over the previous generation. This powerhouse ensures smooth spatial computing, fast rendering, and responsive controls for both productivity and play.

Reinventing Mobile Imaging: vivo’s Visionary Leap

Not stopping at hardware, vivo announced a sweeping upgrade to its imaging strategy, establishing an integrated scenario-based ecosystem that covers everything from night photography to telephoto and video. A highlight? The brand-new portable slit lamp for ophthalmic diagnostics, leveraging the Telephoto Macro capability of the vivo X200 series to make medical imaging more accessible.

vivo’s partnership with ZEISS continues to set the global standard for mobile optics, with collaborative advancements ensuring vivo’s cameras consistently deliver sharp, vibrant images. The debut of the BlueImage × Samsung HP9 200 MP sensor and the Blueprint × Sony LYT-828 sensor promises crystal-clear detail at high zoom and next-gen image restoration, while industry-leading chips like the VS1 pre-processing and V3+ imaging chips support stellar performance—even in complex scenarios or low-light conditions.

Video creators can experiment with multi-focal 4K slow-motion, 4K portrait beautification, and AI-powered enhancements, opening doors for dynamic storytelling and artistic expression.

Inspiring a Global Imaging Culture

vivo’s commitment goes beyond technology—it’s about nurturing a vibrant creative community. The “Capture the Future” competition with UNESCO and the inaugural National Mobile Photography Exhibition in partnership with the China Photographers Association are redefining the intersection of technology and art for young creators worldwide.

At the 2025 vivo VISION+ Mobile PhotoAwards, vivo celebrated over half a million entries—all shot on vivo smartphones—demonstrating that world-class photography truly is accessible to all.

With three spectacular decades as its foundation, vivo’s eyes are firmly set on the future — driving innovation not just in devices, but in experience, creativity, and community. The Vision Discovery Edition MR headset and new imaging strategy aren’t just products: they’re a promise, lighting the way for the next century of digital beauty and connection.
