Vivo V 1 chip physical exposure, chip independent research and development or will officially announce mass production.

With the rapid development of the domestic mobile phone market, both hardware and software have been greatly improved. As the core component of mobile phones, self-developed chips have become the main direction of many brands, and all kinds of news about brand self-developed chips are constantly flowing out.

In recent days, various information of "vivo core-making" has been exposed by the media one after another.

Recently, a well-known digital technology blogger, Digital Chat, took the lead in exposing the physical pictures of vivo V 1 chip. From the exposure map, we can see the huge screen-printed logo of V 1 on the front of the chip and the logo of vivo on the upper left, which can confirm that vivo is self-developed. At the same time, it can be seen from the physical map that the V 1 chip of vivo has been mass-produced.

Some netizens bombed the shipper's vivo inventory. Baidu Dongguan Changan Bar exposed a group of pictures of the vivo chip warehouse, with the text "The warehouse is full of vivo chips, which have been mass-produced for several months". As can be seen from the photos that broke the news, a large number of chips have been produced in the chip warehouse of vivo factory, which has also attracted many netizens' speculation that vivo's self-developed chips have entered the final assembly stage.

Judging from all kinds of information that broke the news at present, vivo may have a layout for chip manufacturing. Some analysts believe that the reason why vivo is involved in the chip field is to avoid being "stuck" like Huawei. In fact, many manufacturers have been laying out their own research chips in the past two years, and vivo is just one of them.

Nowadays, in the field of smart phones, how to independently develop chips and technologies has become a necessary skill for major manufacturers to learn martial arts. Only with more core technologies and discourse power can we control the scale at a decisive moment. Self-developed chips are the key factors that affect the trend of mobile phone manufacturers. To create a brand-specific imaging style, the traditional "public version" ISP chip can no longer meet the demand. Independent research and development of ISP chips has also become a number of domestic manufacturers, and the first step to explore mobile phone SoC chips is also an important step.

As early as 20 19 years ago, the vivo self-developed chip was already within the planning scope. It recruits chip R&D talents with high salary, registers chip trademarks, establishes a special chip R&D center ... recruits soldiers, prepares layout, gradually establishes its own chip R&D team, and finally realizes mass production. Vivo has demonstrated its strength and determination step by step in the field of chip R&D.

Today (August 27th), Hu Baishan, executive vice president of vivo, revealed that the first self-developed image chip of vivo was named V 1, which will be released in the upcoming X70 series. The "V 1" chip lasted about 24 months and invested more than 300 R&D teams.

This chip is an integrated circuit chip with special specifications. In the overall image system design, the "V 1" chip can serve the needs of users in image applications such as preview and video recording. Hu Baishan said: "In the future, it is not excluded to lay out chips on other tracks." The so-called track refers to the design, image, performance and system. Recently, the chip diagram of V 1 without installation was exposed. It can be seen that it is a BGA package, and the bottom contacts are arranged at 45 degrees, which is completely a chip dominated by vivo. Let's look forward to it!
