During its 30th anniversary event, Vivo unveiled what it calls the Discovery Edition of Vivo Vision. That’s a mixed reality headset, which at first appears to be just a copy of the Apple Vision Pro. However, the device is quite different, most importantly, because you can’t buy it yet. For now, it’s only available for hands-on demo experiences in select stores across China.
Vivo’s headset is also significantly lighter and smaller than the Vision Pro, which appears to be a point of pride for the company. In its official announcement of the device, Vivo doesn’t miss the opportunity to take a jab at Apple.
Weighing just 398g with a height of 83 mm and a thickness of 40 mm, it is 26% smaller than the industry average, improving overall comfort.

The new headset has dual 8K Micro-OLED displays, which support 94% DCI-P3 color coverage, and 1.5-degree precision eye-tracking. The fingertip gesture recognition works across 26 degrees of freedom within a vertical range of 175 degrees.
While the Vivo Vision isn’t a direct threat to Apple’s spatial computing ambitions, it’s a sign of changing times. I believe that’s only the first of a wave of devices that will offer similar experiences to the Vision Pro, but at lower prices, and eventually one of those could reach the global markets. That’s why Apple must think of ways to make an affordable version of its mixed reality device and utilize its ecosystem advantage.
