Recruitment of mobile phone manufacturers

With the opening of the 5G era, the development speed of smart phones is getting faster and faster, and the demand is getting higher and higher. From the initial use of young people to the present, the smart phone industry has entered its heyday. But behind the glory is the crisis. With the same performance configuration, the flagship models of major brands use almost the same chips. If they are used to using other people's chips to form a comfortable environment, the competitiveness and innovation ability of mobile phones will drop sharply. In order to reflect the differences in performance and various aspects, improve their competitiveness and not give others a neck, many domestic mobile phone manufacturers have begun to independently develop chips, and vivo, as a well-known brand, is no exception.

According to the recent news of well-known digital blogger @ Digital Chat Station, vivo has offered an annual salary of one million yuan to recruit experts in the field of chips, the chip research and development department has landed in Shanghai, and vivo has a long-term chip development strategy, so it continues to recruit people, and the first self-developed chip will be used in the next flagship machine. This also corresponds to the official opening of the office building of vivo Beijing R&D Center in 2020, which is located in the IT Industrial Park of Electronic City, behind which is Beijing 798 Art District. Before the official opening of the building, vivo has been looking for IC design talents. Recently, careful netizens discovered the job recruitment contents related to multiple chips released by vivo, and offered the chip director in the direction of ISP a high salary of 144W to 180W, which also shows that vivo is determined to invest in chip research.

At the same time, according to other exposed news, vivo has applied for the trademarks of "vivo SoC" and "vivo chip". The exposed chip with internal code name "Yue Ying" is a SoC chip, which is probably the first self-developed chip mentioned by well-known digital blogger @ Digital Chat Station, and will be used in the next flagship machine. Then we can guess that "Yue Ying" should be specially developed to improve the image capability of the new model to be released by vivo.

This series of breaking news gives us the most intuitive feeling that vivo has assumed the role of a well-known brand. From the initial technical breakthroughs such as images and music, it has been transformed into technical research in the general direction of the times such as chips and 5G, seeking breakthroughs. This not only enhanced their competitiveness, but also represented that domestic manufacturers attached importance to autonomy, and began to gradually break away from the shackles of chips from Qualcomm and Samsung, so that the development of smart phones returned to the grand occasion of a hundred schools of thought contending.
