What do Samsung, Huawei and Apple have in common, besides the fact that they release mobile devices? All these companies are engaged in the development and production of their own mobile processors. There are other smartphone manufacturers that also produce chips for mobile devices, but their volumes are much smaller.
As blogger Digital Chat Station found out, vivo is working on creating its own chipsets. The blogger posted on the Weibo social network images of the trademark application for the vivo Chip and vivo SoC chipsets filed back in September 2019.
There are no details yet on vivo's plans for its own chip business, and it's apparently too early to tell when the first sample will be announced. Nevertheless, the company's decision to develop this direction seems quite logical. After the United States imposed restrictions on the supply of components for Huawei, Chinese manufacturers began to invest more in developing their own technologies in order to reduce dependence on foreign suppliers.
Vivo smartphones currently use Qualcomm, MediaTek and Samsung chips. Apparently, in the future, the company will add chips of its own production to them. It can also be assumed that the chipsets developed by vivo are not intended for use in smartphones, but for other smart devices that are planned to be released in the near future.
