Snapdragon 8 helps vivo usher in a new era of high-end smartphones

On April 11, vivo launched its dual flagships targeting the high-end business market, vivo's first foldable screen flagship vivo X Fold and large-screen business flagship vivo X Note. Both vivo X Fold and X Note are equipped with the new generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform . Its outstanding performance, security, AI and imaging experience help vivo create a new masterpiece that impacts the high-end mobile phone market, bringing more efficient, convenient and creative mobile phone experience to users, and ushering in a new era of high-end smartphones.

Adhering to the product concept of "big, comprehensive", vivo X Fold and X Note both use Snapdragon 8, with powerful performance as the basis for creating a comprehensive top-level experience. Snapdragon 8 is built with 4nm process technology, and the new Kryo CPU uses the Arm Cortex X2 super core, which is 20% higher than the previous generation platform; the Adreno GPU with a new architecture brings unprecedented graphics performance improvement in Snapdragon history, with a rendering speed increase of 30% and energy efficiency increase of 25%. The 7th generation Qualcomm AI engine includes the ultra-high performance and ultra-high energy efficiency Qualcomm Hexagon processor. Compared with the previous generation, the tensor accelerator speed and shared memory are both increased to 2 times that of the previous generation platform. The super performance of Snapdragon 8 provides strong support for the product experience innovation of vivo X Fold. Combined with vivo's self-developed triple full-time performance engine, it runs more smoothly, more stably and more energy-efficiently.

Security is the foundation of all Snapdragon experiences, and Snapdragon has always been committed to the innovation of smartphone security technology. This time, vivo used the Snapdragon 8 security processing unit for the first time to enhance high-security and high-security applications. Snapdragon 8 brings exclusive SPU chip-level security and privacy protection to vivo X Fold and X Note, with full software and hardware security protection capabilities. Through joint development, vivo and Qualcomm have granted security API permissions to application manufacturers that have deep cooperation with vivo, so that the keys of important applications such as banks and stocks can be stored in the Qualcomm security processing unit (SPU) integrated in Snapdragon 8, thereby protecting users' information and property security at a deeper level. At the same time, relying on the powerful hardware foundation of the Qualcomm security processing unit integrated in Snapdragon 8, vivo has also built a thousand-mirror security architecture at the software level to provide users with systematic security protection.

On the basis of strong system security, vivo X Note and X Fold also use Qualcomm 3D Sonic fingerprint recognition technology to achieve full-process data protection from information entry to storage. As a 7-inch large-screen business flagship, vivo X Note is equipped with Qualcomm 3D Sonic Max ultrasonic fingerprint sensor , which supports unlock and start shortcut function. Qualcomm 3D Sonic Max is Qualcomm's largest, fastest and most secure sensor, which can achieve fast and convenient unlocking experience and top user privacy and security protection, allowing users to enter common programs in one step and double-finger recognition for secure payment. In addition, vivo X Fold uses the second-generation Qualcomm 3D Sonic sensor on both the inner and outer screens, becoming the world's first professional folding flagship that supports under-screen fingerprint unlocking, redefining the user experience of folding screen mobile phones.

At the press conference, vivo also released its first flagship tablet product, vivo Pad, equipped with the Snapdragon 870 mobile platform. The Snapdragon 8 series mobile platform will support vivo to create a top-level end-to-end intelligent interconnection experience, provide strong support for the construction of vivo's intelligent hardware ecosystem, and enable more innovative mobile experiences.
