Today, Hu Baishan, Vice President of vivo China, was interviewed by the media about vivo’s future plans, including the progress of its self-developed chips and its strategic layout to succeed in the high-end market.
He revealed that the Vivo X70 series with a self-developed ISP chip will be released in September, while the tablet is scheduled to be launched in the first half of next year. The tablet will mainly focus on collaboration features with smartphones.
The VP revealed Vivo’s future IoT layout strategy: 1+3+N. The number 1 represents smartphones, which the vice president believes are the core product and people’s primary need. Without smartphones, peripheral devices would lose their value.
When giving examples, he also mentioned that the user experience for high-end customers should form a closed loop. The vice president pointed out that the overall smartphone user experience should be greatly improved to attract customers to purchase the company’s peripheral products, such as headphones, smartwatches, tablets, and other devices (which are expected to be launched in the future).
When it comes to TV, he stated that there is a certain degree of correlation between TVs and smartphones, but this correlation is very weak. That’s why the company won’t be in this market for long.
In the end, he revealed that this tablet is a key product for vivo because smartphone screens have inherent limitations. The phone and tablet can work together in terms of account information, screen casting, and related functions.
