New Delhi, April 14: At a recent media event following the launch of the Vivo X300 Ultra, executives Huang Tao and Han Boxiao discussed the company’s future in imaging innovation. While the flagship model introduced a new camera technology, the discussion also hinted at plans to extend these features to additional devices and new product categories.
Vlogging Camera Teased Ahead of Q3 Launch
Vivo has teased a new device aimed at self-recording, likely the anticipated vlogging camera. The company acknowledged that while rear cameras excel in video capabilities, vloggers and live content creators often rely on action cameras or external accessories.
To cater to this need, Vivo is preparing a new solution expected to launch with the next-generation X series in Q3. Initial reports suggest a compact, pocket-sized device with built-in stabilization, designed for creators who prefer to film themselves conveniently.
The upcoming X-series is tentatively named the Vivo X500 series, anticipated to launch in Q3. The X300 series was announced last October, but with the X500 lineup moving up, both the new flagship range and the company’s first vlogging camera could debut around September in China. This vlogging camera may compete with the DJI Osmo Pocket 4, which is set to launch globally this week.
Telephoto Extender Could Reach S60 Series
In China, Vivo is offering external telephoto extender accessories like the G2 and G2 Ultra for the Vivo X300 Ultra. These attachments enhance long-distance photography, particularly in challenging environments like concerts or stadium seating. Han Boxiao explained that these accessories aim to simplify photography rather than complicate it, helping users capture distant subjects more effectively.
Vivo is also working towards a standardized mounting system for these accessories and is considering similar support for its youth-focused S series. This could align with the upcoming S60 series in China. However, Huang Tao noted that the success of this initiative depends on whether these devices can maintain consistent image quality with the extender, emphasizing that performance is crucial. The S60 lineup is expected to launch in May or June this year in China.
