Vivo Vision Discovery Edition MR headset launched with dual 8K Micro-OLED displays, Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 SoC

Vivo has launched its first Mixed Reality Handset, the Vision Discovery Edition in China, marking its entry into the immersive computing space with a design that emphasizes lightweight comfort and portability, as promised. The device weighs 398 grams, measures 83 mm in height and 40 mm in thickness, and sports a sleek mirrored front panel with a concealed “floating micro-gap” structure.

Design and Ergonomics -

To enhance comfort during extended use, the headset incorporates a facial support zone for balanced weight distribution, four interchangeable light-blocking shields with foam padding, and a dual-ring adjustable strap that independently tightens at the top and bottom for improved stability.

Visuals and Optics -

The Vision Explorer Edition features dual 8K Micro-OLED panels with a resolution of 3840 × 3552 per eye, covering the P3 color gamut. Binocular calibration ensures consistent colors with accuracy within ΔE<2, while magnetic prescription lenses support diopters ranging from 100–1000. Users benefit from a 180° panoramic field of view, spatial audio, and the ability to project a virtual 120-inch cinema screen, repositionable via gestures.

Performance and Power -

Under the hood, the headset runs on the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 platform, paired with vivo’s Blue Ocean power management system, which helps extend battery life during demanding MR sessions.
