Some Snapdragon-powered Vivo phones get unofficial bootloader unlock

Jed John Ikoba — Fri, 20 May 2022 18:17:25 +0000

Some recent developments indicate that Vivo smartphones with Qualcomm processors can be modified by unlocking their bootloader. This could make Vivo smartphones attractive to the segment of the market that wants the ability to tinker with their smartphones.

Vivo X80

Vivo, together with OnePlus, Realme, and Oppo are under the BBK Electronics group. OnePlus devices retain their warranty even after undergoing some modifications. This is achieved through the unlocking of the phone’s bootloader and access to the kernel sources of the device. Previously, this kind of modification has been quite difficult on Vivo devices. It is however coming to light that the process may be a bit straightforward with Qualcomm processors.

Vivo does not offer official bootloader unlocking services or kernel sources. There are however some tech-savvy groups that may be trying to tinker with Vivo devices. It is reported that a couple of members of the XDA community have achieved success in this direction. The duo of Pervokur and Killuminati91 may have cracked Vivo’s custom Fastboot interface. They have managed to get a method to unlock the bootloader of some Vivo smartphones.

The bootloader unlocked devices are the Vivo V21e, X70 Pro Plus, and Y31. All the unlocked smartphones are powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets. It is noted that there are flipsides to the unlocking of the bootloader of the Vivo devices.

The process disabled the fingerprint sensor on the Vivo X70 Pro Plus, Users will have to flash a custom vendor image using a modified Fastboot binary, as well as rely on a race condition to achieve the unlock. After tinkering with the device, users can run otherwise incompatible software on their devices. The unlock could also possibly lead to an invalidation of the existing warranty.

Funtouch OS 12 gets an early reveal ahead of Vivo X70 global launch

Habeeb Onawole — Sat, 18 Sep 2021 13:40:34 +0000

Vivo, like many other manufacturers, has its own custom Android fork. Called Funtouch OS, the custom UI has powered Vivo phones for years. However, last year, Vivo unveiled a new UI dubbed OriginOS that has replaced Funtouch OS for devices sold in China. An earlier report had erroneously said that OriginOS will get a global debut when the Vivo X70 series launches, but that won’t be the case as Vivo has quietly unveiled Funtouch OS 12.

The Funtouch OS 12 page is now live on the Vivo India website and it reveals some of the new features it is bringing to Vivo phones.

One of the new features coming to Funtouch OS is a redesigned widget system. The design of the new widgets appears to have been carried over from OriginOS. They are more functional and Vivo claims they should help users be more productive.

Another feature is the Nano Music Player that is sort of a mini-player for controlling playback from Spotify, Joox, or files from your local storage.

Last but not least is Extended RAM, a feature that has become increasingly popular on a lot of phones these days. With Extended RAM, the phone allocates part of the ROM storage (up to 4GB) to the RAM space so apps can run a bit more smoothly.

We expect more details will be revealed on September 22 when Vivo plans to announce the X70 series globally. We should also get details about current phones that will receive the update and when to expect them.

Vivo V1 officially launched as the company’s first self-developed ISP chip

Jeet — Mon, 06 Sep 2021 11:12:30 +0000

Vivo was working on its self-developed Image Signal Processor (ISP) chip which was recently leaked online. Soon after that, the company’s Executive Vice President Hu Baishan officially confirmed that the company is indeed gearing up to launch the Vivo V1 ISP chip.

Today, the Chinese company has officially launched its first self-developed chip, named Vivo V1 which is an Image Signal Processor. It has also been confirmed that the upcoming Vivo X70 series smartphones will come equipped with this new chip.

For launching this new Vivo V1 chip, a team of over 300 people worked for more than 24 months for Research & Development as well as the Chinese company had in-depth cooperation with smartphone processor manufacturers. This is to ensure that the Vivo V1 ISP works smoothly with the main processor without any compatibility issues.

The company claims that the new V1 chip offers high computing power, low latency, and low power consumption. Along with processing complex calculations at high speed, it can also complete parallel processing of data like GPU and DSP. However, the company adds that Vivo V1 has massive improvement in energy efficiency ratio compared to DSP and CPU even when faced with a large number of complex operations.

Vivo has optimized the data storage architecture as well as the high-speed read and write circuits inside the chip to maximize simultaneous processing capacity. It is able to achieve an equivalent of 32MB large cache with on-chip storage.

The company claims that it surpasses current flagship desktop processors when it comes to low-latency real-time noise reduction and frame insertion. When processing tasks with the same amount of calculation at high speed, the dedicated algorithm in Vivo V1 reduces the power consumption of the hardware circuit by about 50 percent.

Vivo also worked with the Zeiss team to over technical limitations like process and yield and the glass lenses can now offer high light transmittance, ultra-low dispersion, and thermal stability. The AOA dynamic optical calibration process is used to adjust the sharpness reduction by lens thickness errors and lens eccentric errors.

The China-based company has also introduced SWC coating technology which ensures that the reflected light is fully suppressed, and the reflectivity is reduced to a minimum of 0.1%, which greatly improves the quality.

Vivo and Zeiss also worked through 140 color card performance and 3D color mapping matrix algorithms to adjust 262,144 parameters to make the hue more accurate and the saturation processing more refined. As a result, the hue accuracy ΔE is increased by approximately 15.5%, bringing more natural colors.

As noted, the Vivo V1 ISP chip will be equipped in the upcoming Vivo X70 series smartphones that are set to be officially launched in the Chinese market on 9th September at 19:30 local time. Soon after the China launch, the smartphone lineup is expected to have its global launch.

Hu Baishan added that while the company is starting with its self-developed ISP, the plan is also considering laying out chips on other tracks — Design, Image, Performance, and System, which was established by Vivo last year.

It is being reported that it took about two years for the company to develop its own ISP chip which has now reportedly completed mass production. The chip department at Vivo reportedly has a Research & Development team of more than 300 members and the company is also looking to fill many more vacancies in the same department.

The development is in line with the company’s long-term vision as revealed by the Founder and CEO of Vivo, Shen Wei earlier this year. The company is set to heavily invest in technological innovation as well as strategic resources for improving design, imaging, and performance, as well as other areas that users are paying more attention to.

So far, we are aware of two chip-related trademarks from the Chinese firm — Vivo SoC and Vivo Chip. The product categories covered by these two trademarks include central processing units, modems, computer chips, printed circuits, and computer storage.

Chinese smartphone manufacturers are now spending more on innovation and becoming self-reliant after the issues faced by Huawei when it was banned by the United States. It will be interesting to see what Vivo has up its sleeves in this department. OPPO, the sister company of Vivo, is also developing its own chip which is expected to be officially released with the Find X4 smartphone early next year.

Recently, three new Vivo phones with model numbers V2130A, V2133A, and V2141A were spotted at the CMIIT certification site. Reports have revealed that the V2141A will be debuting as the iQOO 8 handset. Today, the V2130A and V2134A Vivo smartphones have received certification from the 3C authority of China. According to a Chinese tipster, these phones could be released in the Chinese market as the Vivo X70 series of smartphones.

The 3C listings of the Vivo V2130A and V2134A have revealed that they are 5G-ready devices. Both phones are expected to carry support for 44W fast charging. Probably, these phones could be arriving in the market as the Vivo X70 and Vivo X70 Pro. The tipster believes that the series may include a higher model that will carry support for 66W fast charging.

The same tipster had previously claimed that the Vivo X70 will be equipped with Vivo’s self-developed image signal processor (ISP). With Vivo’s imaging algorithm onboard, the X70 series is expected to offer a better photography experience.

Another leak had revealed that Vivo X70’s main camera will offer an aperture of f/1.5 and will carry support for 5-axis image stabilization. It is also expected to offer built-in gimbal stabilization like the predecessor series. The large aperture will allow the X70 series to capture brighter shots in dim-light conditions.

The Vivo X70 is expected to feature a 6.56-inch AMOLED screen that offers a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2376 pixels and a 120Hz refresh rate.

Vivo X70 series to come with a proprietary image signal processor

Habeeb Onawole — Wed, 21 Jul 2021 21:05:33 +0000

The Vivo X70 series is expected to launch this quarter. The X series is known for its camera capabilities and Vivo plans to raise the bar with the next-gen models reported to be scheduled for a September launch. A new leak has revealed an important feature that will help the X70 series achieve superior camera performance.

According to the Weibo user @熊猫很禿然, Vivo will ship the X70 series with a self-developed image signal processor. The ISP should be soldered onto the board as a separate chip, and together with Vivo’s imaging algorithm, the Vivo X70 series should take better photos.

The news is surprising as there were no previous reports that Vivo was developing its own chip. Earlier this month, we learned that OPPO is developing its own ISP but we do not know when it will appear on a phone. Vivo has kept the development of its own ISP a secret until now, and we can’t wait to see the improvements it brings to the X70 series.

The source also mentions a micro pan-tilt feature and a telescopic lens for the Vivo X70 series. A leak also revealed the main camera of the X70 has an aperture of f/1.5 and that the device will have 5-axis image stabilization.

Vivo is reportedly working on the Vivo X70 series. The company is likely to announce it first in China before releasing it in other markets. Tipster Digital Chat Station has shared a few details on the display and camera capabilities of the X70.

The Vivo X60 that debuted earlier this year features a 6.56-inch AMOLED display that carries support for a Full HD+ resolution of 1,080 x 2,376 pixels and a 120Hz refresh rate. The new leak suggests that the Vivo X70 will feature the same display.

The translated text of the leak states that the Vivo X70’s processor that the same architecture as the previous generation. He further said that the X70’s prototype was able to achieve a higher benchmarking score after overclocking, but he is unsure whether there will be a drop in the score after its mass production. The Vivo X60 model that debuted in China featured the Exynos 1080, while its global edition was powered by the Snapdragon 870. It is still unclear as to which processor will be fueling the X70.

It goes without saying that Vivo X-series phones are known for offering redefined photography experience. The leak states that the rear camera setup of the X70’s main camera has a large aperture of f1/1.5, which indicates that it will be able to intake more light for capturing brighter shots in low-light conditions. The leak also states that the X70 will offer 5-axis image stabilization and it is also expected to come with built-in gimbal stabilization.

The Vivo X60 family includes three phones such as Vivo X60, X60 Pro, and X60 Pro+. As of this writing, it is unclear how many phones belong to the X70 lineup. The tipster has claimed that the X70 series will debut in September, and it is also speculated to land in India in the same month or October.

Details of Vivo’s H2 plan have been revealed by the Chinese leaker, Digital Chat Station, on Weibo. According to him, Vivo will kick off its second-half product announcements with the Vivo S10 series next month. That is just four months after the Vivo S9 series was announced.

There is not a lot of info about the Vivo S10 at the moment but we have heard that Vivo will be adopting a new camera layout for the new series. So this may be more of a design upgrade than specification-based. Nevertheless, we expect more details will begin popping up as the launch date draws closer.

The leaker has also revealed that the iQOO 9 series and Vivo X70 series should also launch next quarter. We already reported that the Vivo X70 series will be announced in September in partnership with the Indian Premier League. For the iQOO 9, we do not know a lot about it save for a report in January that said the phone will have a bigger battery capacity than its predecessor.

The source has also reaffirmed that Vivo will launch its first tablet this year along with a new smartwatch. Vivo made its entry into the smartwatch market last year with the Vivo Watch.

Exclusive: Vivo X70 series to launch in September in partnership with IPL

Habeeb Onawole — Tue, 01 Jun 2021 16:48:12 +0000

The Vivo X60 series has received much praise since it first launched in late December in China. The phones have made their way across the world with Europe getting the X60 Pro 5G last month and China getting a curved screen variant of the X60. Now, we have received exclusive details of the next-gen series that will reportedly launch as the Vivo X70.

Vivo X60 Pro

The Vivo X70 series will launch in India in September according to our source, Yogesh. The launch will be done in partnership with the Indian Premier League which Vivo sponsors. It has already been reported that the tournament will continue in the UAE between September and October, so the info checks out. However, the exact date for the launch is currently unknown.

With respect to the specs of the device, the source says they are very similar to those of the X60 series, so do not expect significant upgrades. The X60 and X60 Pro launched with Samsung’s Exynos 1080 processor in China while the X60 Pro+ has a Snapdragon 888 chipset. However, when the X60 and X60 Pro made it out of China, Vivo swapped the Exynos chipset for the Snapdragon 870.

We expect the Vivo X70 will stick to Qualcomm’s chipset for the Indian market but it remains to be seen if that will be the case for the Chinese variants.

At the end of last year, vivo debuted the vivo X60 series in China. The three models in the series with some differences made their way to the global markets late last month. Despite being just a few months old, rumors about their successors have started popping up on the internet.

vivo X60 Pro+

Chinese smartphone makers OPPO and vivo are known for releasing two flagship smartphone series every year. Hence, it is not surprising to learn that the vivo X70 series may go official around June 2021, as per a Weibo user (@馬然熊猫).

This information comes from the same person who tipped the key specs of the upcoming vivo NEX (vivo NEX 5?). Hence, we advise you to consider this leak with a pinch of salt.

According to this tipster, the upcoming vivo X70 series will be backed by a 4,500mAh battery. Unlike the current-gen phones, the forthcoming models will also come with 66W fast charging.

Further, on the front, they will flaunt an FHD+ Samsung E4 AMOLED display with a centered punch-hole. Also, they will come equipped with dual speakers, which are missing on the vivo X60 series.

Lastly, he says that we can expect a 1/1.28-inch primary camera sensor and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC underneath the vivo X70 Pro+. Unfortunately, he is not sure about the chipset in the Pro and vanilla variants.

Last but not least, it is worth noting that the leakster described these features for the ‘vivo X70 series’. He did not clearly specify which model will have these specs. Considering the previous generations, we expect the standard vivo X70 to come with slightly inferior features.
