Overview

  • Vivo unveiled its first MR headset, the Vision Discovery/Explorer Edition, at its Dongguan event as it enters the spatial computing market.
  • The headset features dual 8K Micro‑OLED displays with 3,840 × 3,552 pixels per eye, claimed 94% DCI‑P3 coverage, a panoramic view, and a virtual screen up to 120 inches.
  • It runs OriginOS Vision on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2, supports 1.5‑degree eye‑tracking and fingertip gesture controls, and can capture 3D video and spatial photos.
  • Public trials start August 22 across 12 vivo experience zones in major Chinese cities, with preorders open but no confirmed retail date or final price.
