vivo

vivo is a Chinese technology company grouped alongside Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi, OPPO, and Huawei as one of the major phone makers that emerged from the 2007 iPhone launch era . It has served as an important channel for Chinese brands expanding overseas: Mixue Bingcheng entered Indonesia in 2019 by leveraging OPPO and vivo's existing offline phone retail networks, which 暗涌Waves described as "the most successful Chinese brands going global" at the time with "very rich offline mobile distribution channels" . The company has also been cited as a benchmark for scale that other consumer hardware markets struggle to match — Zero Zero Technology's Wang Mengqiu noted that even at peak, DJI's annual consumer drone sales reached only about 200 billion RMB, a scale that left Huawei, vivo, and Xiaomi unimpressed with the market's return on investment . Former vivo Indonesia head Chen Bifeng later joined OMOWAY, the intelligent electric motorcycle startup founded by ex-Xiaopeng executive He Tao in 2024, to lead Indonesian market expansion .
