vivo Shines at Boao Forum 2025
March 25, 2025, marked the commencement of the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference in Boao, Hainan, and once again, vivo has emerged as a tech trailblazer at the event. As a strategic partner for the fourth consecutive year and now a Board of Directors member at the Boao Forum, vivo showcased innovative solutions ranging from the Blue Technology Matrix (BlueImage, BlueLM, BlueOS, BlueChip, BlueVolt) to advancements in 6G technology. It also debuted its first mixed reality headset, vivo Vision, cementing its place in the future of tech.
Adding to the spotlight, vivo’s flagship imaging smartphone, vivo X200 Ultra, was crowned the “Official Smartphone of Boao Forum for Asia,” reinforcing the company’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of mobile photography.
Exploring Future Technologies
During the “vivo Release Moment” at the forum, Hu Baishan, vivo’s Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, and President of the vivo Central Research Institute, delivered an inspiring keynote titled “Humanity in the Future of Technology by vivo.”
Hu highlighted how the mobile phone industry represents a microcosm of technological innovation, particularly in China. Over three decades, vivo has operated with three core philosophies: long-termism, humanistic thinking, and collaborative innovation. These guiding principles have helped vivo secure its spot as the number one domestic mobile phone brand in the Chinese market for four consecutive years. Now, with over 500 million users worldwide spanning 60+ countries, vivo aims to blend groundbreaking technology with people-oriented values.
The Bridge Between Digital and Physical Worlds
Hu elaborated on the interplay between AI and robotics—two domains considered the pinnacle of technological achievement in the digital and physical spheres. Despite their advancements, these worlds remain siloed. He emphasized how the mobile phone industry, bolstered by a massive consumer base and forward-looking technological ecosystems, could bridge the gap between these domains.
Hu envisioned robotics as the future of mobile technology. Through the seamless fusion of digital connectivity and physical capabilities, smartphones could evolve beyond communication tools to enable transformative experiences tailored to user scenarios. Vivo’s focus? Empowering consumers through people-centric technology.
vivo Robotics Lab: Innovating for Everyday Lives
One of vivo’s major announcements was the launch of the vivo Robotics Lab, a hub for groundbreaking robotics research. Drawing on its decade-long experience in AI and imaging under the BlueTech umbrella, vivo plans to develop two key robotic functionalities—the “brain” and “eyes.”
The lab will also prioritize consumer-friendly robotics, aiming to bring transformative technology into households and simplify everyday tasks. By addressing real-life challenges and iteratively refining products, vivo positions itself as a leader in merging robotics with mobile ecosystems.
Hu emphasized vivo’s mission to bring technology out of laboratories and into homes. The upcoming vivo Vision MR headset, showcased for the first time at the event, represents a key milestone in this journey. With spatial computing capabilities, the headset embodies vivo’s exploration of mixed reality technology.
Building on the success of its MR debut, vivo’s forthcoming X200 Ultra smartphone, scheduled for release next month, will integrate advanced imaging capabilities. With these innovations, vivo aims to elevate experiences across robotics and mobile ecosystems.
