Independent chip research and development is put on the agenda, and vivo has paid a million annual salary to seek talents.

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 a heyday. But behind the glory is the crisis, the same performance configuration, the flagship models of major brands use almost the same chips, and they are used to using other people's chips to form a comfortable environment, so 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 send their necks to others, 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, and 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 22, 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. In the near future, careful netizens discovered the job recruitment contents related to multiple chips released by vivo, and offered a high annual salary of 144W to 18W for the annual salary of chip director in the direction of ISP, which also shows that vivo is determined to invest in self-research of chips.

at the same time, according to other exposure news, vivo has applied for trademarks of two chips: "vivo SoC" and "vivo chip". The exposed chip with internal code name "Yueying" is a SoC chip, which is probably the first self-developed chip mentioned by well-known digital blogger @ Digital Chat Station and used in the next flagship machine. Then it can be guessed that "Yueying" should be specially developed to improve the image ability corresponding to the new model to be released by vivo.

The most intuitive feeling brought by this series of revelations is that vivo has taken on the role of a well-known brand, and it has changed from the initial technological breakthroughs in images and music to the technological research in the general direction of the times such as chips and 5G, and sought a breakthrough. This not only enhanced their competitiveness, but also represented that domestic manufacturers attached importance to independence, 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.
