Developing their own imaging chip solution appears to be all the rage at the BBK stable this year and after Oppo introduced MariSilicon X on the Find X5 series earlier this year, this month will be vivo’s turn. The company just announced that the X80 device family, which is expected to go official on April 25, will be equipped with the vivo V1 + imaging chip inside.

This has support for both MediaTek Dimensity 9000 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. In developing the V1 +, vivo worked closely with MediaTek and this resulted in 30 new patent applications. vivo is quick to point out that its custom image processor is the first to work with high-end SoCs from several companies (as you may know, Oppo’s is limited to Snapdragon chips).

Over 300 vivo and MediaTek employees worked on the V1 + for 350 days to fully adapt it to the Dimensity 9000 platform. This work is now complete and the best possible performance can be obtained from the imaging chip inside the devices powered by the latest top SoC. MediaTek range.

By fine-tuning its noise reduction algorithm, the V1 + can take night photos in situations where ambient lighting is less than 1 lux. This is also made possible by the chip’s 32MB SRAM and 8GB / s data rate.

Additionally, vivo announced improvements in image brightness by 16% and white balance accuracy by 12%. In fact, the most important parts of a photo can see further increases in brightness of up to 350%, making your images appear “brighter and more transparent”, allowing you to perceive more details. Zeiss Natural Color achieves an 8.3% improvement in color accuracy and fine tone adjustments.

The V1 + can also allow more games to run at 90fps or 120fps, and thus could replace existing Pixelworks technology currently used by vivo and iQOO phones.

vivo prides itself on having implemented special algorithms to optimize CPU resource allocation and thus reduce heat generation and increase efficiency for the Dimensity 9000. There are promises of significantly improved power consumption, up to 10% in sessions heavy game. The upcoming X80 phone with Dimensity 9000 at the helm achieves 1.07 million AnTuTu points and animations have been improved in high load scenarios, with maximized processing power allocation. Finally, you can expect performance not to degrade for up to 36 months.

These are very high claims and we can’t wait for the new phones to be made official so that we can meet and test them thoroughly for our in-depth reviews.
