vivo Electronics Corp. is a Chinese smartphone manufacturer based in Dongguan, Guangdong.[1] Founded in 2009, the company has an active presence in several countries in Asia.
Regional divisions
Vivo has a presence in China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar and Thailand. Each has subsidiaries of vivo that operate within their respective countries, designing products for their own regional needs.
Vivo replaced Pepsico as the title sponsor for the Indian Premier League (IPL) in October 2015.[2]
Product Lines
Vivo has three product lines: the X series, the Xplay series and the Xshot series.[3][4]
X series are positioning HiFi and thin design. Xplay series are positioning HiFi and video experience.[5] Xshot series are positioning HiFi and video capture.
Smartphones
Vivo's current flagship phone, the vivo Xplay3S, is the world's first smartphone with a Quad HD display and features high quality voice and audio.[6]
In May 2014, vivo released a new phone, the Xshot. The Xshot comes in two styles: the "flagship" version packs Qualcomm's Snapdragon 801 SoC (quad-core, 2.5 GHz) with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of built-in storage, whereas the "elite" version has the 2.3 GHz Snapdragon 800 with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. Its combination of optical image stabilization plus a bright f/1.8 aperture makes it a rather unique selling point.[7] [8][9]
The X3S has a slim body design, being 5.75mm wide. It gained the record for the world's thinnest smartphone when it was released.[10]
One of vivo's older phones, the vivo X1, gained the record for the world's thinnest smartphone at that time and the smartphone is marketed for Hi-Fi enthusiasts.[11][12]
Other smartphones vivo produced are the Y22, Y15 and several other models.
