vivo 2024 Technical Innovation Review: Comprehensive Upgrades in Blue Technology, Imaging, System, and Design

At the start of 2025, vivo summarized its technological innovations achieved in 2024. vivo stated that it remained user-centric throughout 2024, continuously pursuing technological breakthroughs to create more surprising and delightful user experiences. This summary covers four key areas: Blue Technology innovation, Imaging innovation, System performance innovation, and Design innovation, showcasing vivo's significant achievements over the past year.

I. Blue Technology Innovation: Breaking Through Battery Life and Performance Bottlenecks

vivo's Blue Technology innovations in 2024 focused on battery technology, chip technology, and the operating system. In battery technology, vivo launched the Blue Ocean Battery System, integrating three core technologies: a larger, faster, and thinner third-generation silicon-anode technology, a more low-temperature-resistant solid-state battery technology, and comprehensive optimization of charging efficiency and battery lifespan. The combination of these three technologies significantly improved battery life and addressed performance degradation in low-temperature environments.

In chip technology, vivo's self-developed Blue Map Imaging Chip V3+, self-developed Blue Map sensor technology, and self-developed Blue Map algorithm matrix provided strong technical support for the imaging system. Furthermore, vivo introduced the Blue Crystal Chip technology stack, jointly defining the second-generation all-large-core architecture, achieving more powerful processing capabilities and lower power consumption. Notably, vivo also independently developed the new Blue Heart large model matrix and Blue River operating system, delivering a more intelligent and smoother mobile experience. The Blue Heart large model matrix demonstrated strong potential in AI applications, providing more accurate and personalized services for various scenarios. The Blue River operating system comprehensively enhanced system stability, smoothness, and security.

II. Imaging Innovation: Pushing the Boundaries of Imaging Technology

vivo made groundbreaking progress in imaging technology in 2024, driven by its collaboration with Zeiss and its own R&D investment. vivo and Zeiss jointly launched the Zeiss 200MP APO Super Telephoto Lens, featuring 200MP ultra-high resolution, a 1/1.4-inch ultra-large sensor, CIPA 4.5-level professional anti-shake, and a Zeiss floating periscope lens design, significantly improving long-range shooting performance and ensuring clear and sharp images even at long distances. Simultaneously, the application of vivo's self-developed Blue Map algorithm matrix further enhanced image processing capabilities, offering various shooting modes such as full-focal-length portrait and 85mm high-definition portrait to meet diverse user needs.

III. System Performance Innovation: OriginOS 5 Delivers a Seamless Experience

The new OriginOS 5 system is a key highlight of vivo's system performance innovations in 2024. This system introduced multiple technologies, including Virtual GPU 2.0, Unfair Scheduling 3.0, and Ledger Memory Accounting Engine, to ensure smooth operation even after prolonged use. OriginOS 5 also offered a commitment to 60 months of sustained smoothness, guaranteeing a consistently fluid system experience for an extended period. Furthermore, OriginOS 5 incorporated a series of convenient features such as Blue Heart Xiao V, Atomic Island, Xiao V Circle Search, and Xiao V Note-Taking, improving user efficiency and convenience. vivo also launched the industry's first multi-modal large model visual assistive function, further enhancing the phone's accessibility and providing a more convenient mobile experience for people with disabilities.

IV. Design Innovation: The Pursuit of Ultrathin Foldable Phones

The vivo XFold3 series of foldable phones, launched in 2024, demonstrated vivo's strength in design innovation. The XFold3 series features a lightweight and thin foldable design and is equipped with the Kaiyu (Armor Feather) architecture, improving the phone's drop resistance and addressing the fragility issue often associated with foldable phones. According to leaks, the upcoming vivo XFold4 Pro will further pursue an ultra-thin design, equipped with a battery around 6000mAh, supporting wireless charging and IPX8 water resistance, as well as dual ultrasonic fingerprint recognition. The XFold4 Pro's rear camera adopts a centered large circular lens Deco design, equipped with a 50MP main camera, 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 50MP 3x periscope telephoto macro lens, balancing configuration for a slimmer body.

V. vivo X200 Series: The Perfect Blend of Imaging and Performance

vivo also launched the X200 series in 2024, including the X200s, X200 Ultra, and X200 Pro mini. The X200s features the Dimensity 9400+ chip, a 1.5K straight screen, a metal frame design, wireless charging, and 3D ultrasonic fingerprint recognition, along with a 6000mAh-class battery. The X200 Ultra is positioned as an "all-around imaging phone," utilizing the Sony IMX818 sensor and featuring comprehensive upgrades to the lens module and imaging system, supporting full-focal-length 4K 120FPS video recording and focusing on full-focal-length photo and video shooting. The X200 Ultra also features a 2K OLED screen, 120Hz refresh rate, high-frequency eye-protection PWM dimming, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, LPDDR5X memory, UFS 4.0 flash memory, 90W wired fast charging, 50W wireless fast charging, satellite communication, full-function NFC, infrared remote control, dual speakers, X-axis linear motor, and IP68/69 dust and water resistance.
