Vivo is expanding beyond smartphones with the Vision Discovery Edition, its first mixed reality (MR) headset. Showcased in India alongside the Vivo X Fold 6 at the Vivo NEXT event on October 6, the headset offers a glimpse into the company’s ambitions in spatial computing, entertainment, and gaming.

I got to try the Vivo Vision Discovery Edition at the event, exploring its interface, controls, virtual environments, and gaming features. Although my session was brief, the experience was positive. However, the headset is currently not available for purchase in India, with no confirmed retail price or consumer sales date.

6Battery and Charging

Vivo Vision Discovery Edition MR headset

The headset uses a separate, wired battery pack, keeping the main unit lighter. The pack connects to the headset through a cable, although I could not establish its capacity, charging speed, or real-world endurance during my brief session.

Vivo also highlights its battery technology, but I would reserve judgement on battery life until a longer test is possible. Endurance will be important for extended gaming and entertainment sessions.
