In conjunction with its 30th anniversary, vivo today unveiled its first-ever mixed reality (MR) headset, the vivo Vision Discovery Edition, at the vivo Vision Launch Event & Imaging Grand Ceremony. The launch marks a major milestone in vivo’s journey into spatial computing and immersive technology, expanding its innovation beyond smartphones and setting a new benchmark for next-generation experiences.
Leveraging decades of expertise in imaging, sensor, and display technologies, vivo has tackled some of the most complex engineering challenges in MR development, particularly in perception, interaction, and computational performance. The vivo Vision Discovery Edition stands as the first MR product developed by a smartphone manufacturer in China, positioning vivo as a pioneering brand that operates across both the smartphone and MR industries.
Four years in the making, the vivo Vision Discovery Edition combines cutting-edge technology with vivo’s user-centric design philosophy. As part of the company’s long-term home robotics strategy, this innovation brings mixed reality from the research lab into everyday life. Designed for comfort and daily use, the headset weighs just 398 grams and features a compact design measuring 83 mm in height and 40 mm in thickness making it 26% smaller than the industry average. To ensure the perfect fit, the device includes four sizes of light seal and eight foam padding options, providing superior comfort even during long sessions or active use.
At its core, the vivo Vision Discovery Edition is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon® XR2+ Gen 2 platform, delivering a 2.5x improvement in GPU performance and 8x boost in AI performance compared to the previous generation. This results in ultra-smooth, high-speed rendering and an incredibly immersive spatial computing experience.
Running on the new OriginOS Vision, the headset introduces natural, intuitive interactions that connect users effortlessly to their digital world. It supports a range of experiences from immersive entertainment and gaming to productivity applications. Users can enjoy panoramic viewing for live sports or e-sports from multiple angles and even in split-screen mode, ensuring they never miss a moment. For cinematic experiences, the headset can project a 120-foot virtual theater screen, offering a true big-screen experience anytime, anywhere.
The vivo Vision Discovery Edition represents the latest step in vivo’s mission to extend the OriginOS Vision ecosystem beyond smartphones, bridging the physical and digital worlds with seamless integration.
Now announced for Malaysia, consumers can experience the vivo Vision Discovery Edition firsthand at selected vivo Concept Stores nationwide. This marks vivo’s bold leap into the future redefining the boundaries of innovation, imagination, and immersive technology.
