Earlier this year, Vivo X60 series smartphones were launched and recently the company expanded the X60 family with the launch of X60t and X60t Pro+ flagship smartphones. Now, numerous reports have revealed that Vivo is working on its successor — the Vivo X70 series smartphones.

Not just that, a new report from Digital Chat Station on Weibo reveals that the company is in the process of having an ecology of products, and thus, Vivo will be launching products in the category of tablets, smartwatches, and laptops.

The company has reportedly started mass-production of the Vivo-branded tablet as well as a smartwatch and it’s only a matter of time when Vivo officially launches these products and starts selling in the market. Recently, Vivo had confirmed its entry into the tablet market and added that the first device will go official in Q4 2021.

Additionally, Vivo is also working on a foldable smartphone which is expected to get launched later this year. Vivo has a NEX series for phones that includes devices with experimental technology and thus, it’s likely that the foldable smartphone from Vivo is a part of its NEX lineup. Reports indicate it could be called NEX Fold and based on the trademarks filed by the company, other form-factor including NEX Slide and NEX Roll.

Then there are Vivo’s own laptops which the company seems to have started working on but there’s no information about when it will get launched in the market. It’s likely to be powered by an Intel chipset and run Windows 11 operating system.

Vivo seems to be following the footsteps of its sister company Realme which already has its own ecology of products, including smartphones, wearables, accessories, etc. Just a few days ago, the company also launched its own tablet and laptop after teasing those devices for a few weeks.

Late last year, Xiaomi launched its first-ever proper smartwatch. Soon, OPPO followed suit with its product earlier this year. The former is still limited to China but the latter has made its way to global markets. According to certifications, vivo will be the next Chinese smartphone maker to join this bandwagon. A UI patent by the company now reveals the watch faces of the brand’s first smartwatch.

Just like most patents, this one was also first spotted by LetsGoDigital. Vivo filed this patent in April and it got published by CNIPA (China National Intellectual Property Administration) on August 7.

Vivo patented only two watch faces. The first one has blue and green circles with vivo logo at the centre. As per the description in the document, the circles will change according to the user’s goal progress. In other words, it is a knock-off of Apple Watch’s Rings.

On the other hand, the second watch face has an analog clock with vital details like date, step count and two more things which could not understand.

Having said, these watch faces confirm the upcoming vivo smartwatch to feature a circular design unlike Xiaomi Mi Watch and OPPO Watch. This wearable even passed through 3C and Bluetooth SIG recently. Hence, we can expect Vivo to launch it anytime soon in the coming weeks.

It is no longer news that Vivo is working on its very first smartwatch. While its release date is unknown, we may have an idea of what it looks like thanks to images from an alleged patent.

The photos were posted on Twitter by a user that goes by @_the_tech_guy. There is no link to the patent, so we can not confirm the authenticity, and thus advise you to take it with a pinch of salt.

According to the images, Vivo’s first smartwatch may have a round display with a tachymeter around the bezel. The right side of the watch is home to two buttons while the left is bare. The rear of the smartwatch has sensors that should be for heart rate tracking as well as two contact pins that should be for the charging base.

The smartwatch makes use of quick-release straps, so we expect Vivo to make available official replaceable straps of different designs and materials. Unfortunately, there are no details about the features and parameters such as screen size and other related dimensions.

It is interesting to see Vivo adopt a design similar to a traditional watch. However, there is no saying that it may launch another smartwatch with a square face like OPPO and Xiaomi.

In the past couple of months, more Chinese smartphone manufacturers have announced their own smartwatches. Xiaomi already has two in form of the Mi Watch and Xiaomi Watch COLOR, both of which launched in the last quarter of 2019. OPPO followed suit last month with its OPPO Watch. Realme has also confirmed its smartwatch is coming and it has now been reported that Vivo is already developing its own smartwatch.

Actually, Vivo first revealed that it was going to begin making smartwatches nearly a year ago at its Innovation Day event. However, it didn’t specify when the first of its smartwatches should be expected.

According to Digital Chat Station, the Chinese leaker on Weibo, Vivo has already begun the development of its first smartwatch. Sadly, there are no details on the features of the watch or its design. Nevertheless, more details should surface soon.

Based on the above info, we expect the smartwatch to launch this year. We do hope it is not another Apple Watch clone and that Vivo adopts a unique design language. As usual, expect the smartwatch to launch first in China before anywhere else.

Other non-smartphone products Vivo is planning include AR Glasses and smart headphones. It actually showed a prototype of its AR Glasses at an event last year but has not said anything about availability.
