Vivo wants to improve the photographic section of its devices and for this it has presented the new Vivo V1, a chip designed to improve the photographs on its devices.
The smartphone industry is taking a very difficult path to predict. A few years ago it seemed like a crazy idea for phone manufacturers to venture into producing their own hardware, this was only reserved for a select group of companies: Apple, Samsung and Huawei.
No, not even Google had been encouraged to assemble a processor from scratch. But 2021 seems to be a year of change and surprises, a few weeks ago those from Mountain View announced to the world that their next Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro terminals would arrive with a home-cooked processor.
This news supposed the birth of the Google Tensor and, although it is not yet something tangible, expectations are through the roof and the new Google mobiles have to mean a change in the Android world. Of course, Google has not been the only Android company to jump into the pool.
Vivo joins the craze for home-cooked processors, though not at Google’s level. Today he announced to the world the existence of the Vivo V1, this processor would not become the nerve center of the device; his role would be to help the photographic section.
The Vivo V1 is an ISP or Image Signal Processor, without so much verbiage, It is a component that is responsible for coordinating the signals and everything that has to do with the cameras of mobile devices. Usually this unit is included within the processor itself.
Vivo has decided to launch its own ISP in order to control the cameras, both the operation at the hardware level and the processing of the photographs. This new chip will arrive in a terminal that they already have in hand and that will be the Vivo X70.
The Asian company has not specified the launch date of the new terminal that will incorporate this technology. The only thing we can do is wait for the starting gun so that we can test the Vivo V1 capabilities.
