5G technology prowess
When it comes to 5G, vivo believes in ensuring seamless user experience and is constantly working to improve 5G standards to achieve this, hence all vivo 5G phones are compatible with NSA networks. vivo has nearly 4,000 5G patents and has been making continuous contributions to the 5G 3GPP standards since 2017, resulting in over 8,000 proposals to 3GPP.
Vivo has worked in two directions, namely standardisation and proprietary hardware.
Standardisation
Vivo has made significant contributions to optimising power consumption in the 5G environment by working on standards in 3GPP Release 16, Release 17, and Release 18. Similarly, vivo is working hard to solve the Dual SIM channel issue in 5G devices using the MU-SIM capability coordination standard.
Hardware
Vivo also demonstrated solutions to handle hardware challenges in 5G devices.
As technology advances, more components must be integrated into smartphones. The company’s PCBA 3D stacking technology provides a solution by placing the components in 3D, which helps to keep the device ergonomic.
Furthermore, vivo demonstrated the liquid cooling vapour chamber technology, which addresses the issue of device heating. More data means more processing. And, more processing means more heat generation. As a consequence, the device’s performance is hampered. To address this issue, we have made significant advancements in the liquid cooling vapour chamber to manage heat dissipation, resulting in better and more efficient performance even at high speeds.
The undetectable crease of the vivo Fold
The flagship vivo Fold is a culmination of 150 technological patents. It solves the main user pain point with fold phones – the crease. The carefully crafted unibody structure of the hinge makes the vivo Fold a benchmark in the era of foldable smartphones.
With 300,000 folding tests, the vivo Fold is the first foldable smartphone to pass TÜV Rheinland’s “Reliable Folding” Certification. This means that even after being unfolded 300,000 times, the depth and width of the crease remains within the acceptable range and the user experience stays great.
Statistics show that on an average, a user would lock his or her phone screen about 80 times a day. If you fold and unfold the vivo Fold at the same frequency every day, the screen can last for up to 10 years!
The key technology behind this incredible reliability lies in the hinge. It took vivo’s entire design team four years to create the custom-made Aerospace-Grade Hinge. It incorporated six aerospace grade materials, representing a major breakthrough. Weighing less than just 21 grams, it has 76% greater material strength and 21 times greater corrosion resistance making it a hinge like no other.
Foldable phones have traditionally used side-mounted fingerprint scanners, since as per some experts in-display fingerprint scanning was impossible on foldable screens owing to technical restrictions. But, with the vivo Fold, vivo introduced 3D Ultrasonic Dual-Screen Fingerprint scanning that allows fingerprint unlocking on both displays with a single register making it smart and practical.
This revolutionary tech was developed by Technical experts from vivo’s Central Research Institute. They looked at the issue of incompatibility of an in-display fingerprint scanner on foldables from the standpoint of physics, polymer material science and acoustics. And, after thousands of tests a customized back panel was created that resonated with ultrasonic waves, leading to the development and evolution of the first-ever Ultrasonic Fingerprint Scanner on a foldable smartphone so far.
Global Partnership with ZEISS for enabling superior photography experience and future-ready camera innovations
ZEISS, a technology leader in the world of optics for 175 years, announced their global imaging partnership with vivo in 2020. vivo and ZEISS partnership has been put together with a vision to develop innovative mobile imaging technology and sustainably advance mobile photography. This partnership signifies a perfect blend of ZEISS’ unique imaging expertise and vivo’s technological prowess in developing immaculate smartphone cameras.
Through joint development and co-engineering, the imaging system with ZEISS, combined with vivo’s integrated imaging capabilities, vivo will provide consumers worldwide with a more appealing, easier-to-use, and more professional mobile photography experience.
To showcase the innovations in imaging technology, ZEISS demonstrated the most advanced anti-reflective coating in smartphones – the ZEISS T* Coating, which improves visible light transmission, reduces reflections, enhances image quality, and accurately reproduces object colors. Along with that, Industry exclusive ZEISS style portrait features, such as Biotar Bokeh Style were demonstrated that enables users to capture DSLR like bokeh with one click and add artistic effects to their portraits.
The revolutionary vivo V1+ Chip
Vivo showcased its professional Imaging chip vivo V1+ in X80 series, an independent chip that is designed to deliver professional imaging and visual experience during filming and gaming. The Vivo V1+ chip features a built-in super image quality AI system to achieve professional-level visual enhancement in many aspects such as imaging, display, and games.
