In the past two years, with the continuous development of the domestic high-tech industry, domestic mobile phone manufacturers have begun to develop self-developed chips. Previously, many mobile phone manufacturers were exposed to have launched internal self-developed chip plans.

According to the latest reports today, vivo will also join the army of self-developed chips, and the first chip is very close to mass production and will be launched soon. The internal code is "Yueying", the next generation flagship of vivo. The X70 series may be launched first.

However, judging from the current known information, vivo’s first chip is not an integrated SoC chip, but a chip specifically designed to improve imaging capabilities, similar to an ISP chip, which can improve the image processor Performance in terms of speed, image quality, etc. This is also one of the functions that everyone values ????most about mobile phone products at present.

In fact, as early as May last year, netizens exposed the two chip trademarks applied by vivo, namely "vivo SOC" and "vivo chip", and the application dates for these two trademarks were September 2019. month, this means that vivo has started planning to develop its own chips as early as 2019.

It is reported that the registration information of these two trademarks at that time covered product categories including central processing units, modems, computer chips, printed circuits, computer storage devices and a series of processor-related products.

However, at the time, Hu Baishan, executive vice president of vivo, expressed denial of self-developed chips. He said that vivo had begun to think about deeply participating in chip SoC design more than a year ago, and vivo had started to recruit a large number of chips. The talent plan also proposes to establish a chip team of 300-500 people in the future.

However, Hu Baishan revealed that this team is not a pure chip R&D team, but only to participate in the definition of chips by upstream manufacturers so that the products can be better presented.

Nowadays, vivo has quietly created its first self-developed chip, which seems to represent vivo’s confidence in the current development of its own technology. We look forward to the performance of "Yueying" after it is finally launched.
