Vivo's $1,400 Apple Vision Pro Clone Launches Across China

Vivo's Vision Discovery Edition weighs 398 grams, 26% smaller than industry average, aiming to gain market share with a proprietary OS and Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chip.

  • During its 30th anniversary celebration in Dongguan, China, on August 21, 2025, Vivo introduced the Vision Discovery Edition, marking its entry into the mixed reality headset market.
  • The headset enters the small but advancing mixed reality market following four years of Vivo's research and development and aims to compete with Apple and Samsung devices.
  • Weighing 398 grams and notably more compact than the typical industry standard, the device boasts dual 8K micro-OLED screens, operates on Vivo's OriginOS Vision, and includes features such as spatial audio and 3D video capture.
  • The device is priced at approximately 10,000 yuan, equivalent to about $1,395, making it much more affordable than Apple's Vision Pro, which starts at $3,499. While pre-orders have begun, Vivo has not announced any plans for an international launch.
  • Vivo is collecting user feedback via demos in Chinese cities, and while the launch may boost Vivo's brand modestly, the overall impact on the market remains uncertain.
