In August 2021, Vivo opened its first manufacturing facility in Pakistan’s Faisalabad Industrial Estate, where it began producing a diverse range of items. This is Vivo’s sixth intelligent production facility, as the company expands its global footprint in line with its “More Local, More Global” philosophy.
Mr. Eric Kong, CEO of Vivo, spoke to ProPakistani about the company’s accomplishments and intentions to serve Pakistan’s fast-growing market.
This is how the conversation went:
What Makes Vivo a Global Youth-Centric Brand?
Eric Kong (Eric Kong): We aspire to empower our valued audience with relevant and practical innovations across multiple price points as a customer-centric and youth-oriented brand.
We are pleased to announce that more than 80% of our personnel is dedicated to R&D, which undertakes rigorous studies and market surveys to better understand market behavior and trends in order to produce the most technologically advanced phones that meet the needs of Pakistan’s youth.
When it comes to the diversified Pakistani consumer, we’ve noticed a rise in photography and camera-centric innovations in the country.

It’s because manufacturers are continually empowering users by replacing DSLRs with sophisticated cameras. Pakistan’s youth are also looking for a high-quality front camera to help them realize their creative potential.
As a result, Vivo designed the V and X Series to offer a selection of smartphones that meet the needs of consumers.
Our V series has set a new standard in the smartphone industry, carving a space for itself in terms of photography and design technology in the region, and the X Series, in partnership with ZEISS, has provided camera progress to assure a professional photographic experience.
How Do Vivo’s X and V Series Meet Consumer Demands?
Eric Kong: Images and vlogs are used by consumers of all ages, particularly Pakistani young, to present their personalities. Image-based self-expression has undeniably become an important part of modern thought.
When shooting outside in low light, however, content creators, photographers, and creative thinkers face significant challenges, resulting in poor, fuzzy photos.
As a camera-centric business, we recognized this issue and created a one-stop solution with Vivo’s premium series, which features futuristic camera smartphones with features like Gimbal Stabilization, OIS, EIS, Night Selfie, and more.
These technologies not only sharpen and stabilize images but also remove background noise, resulting in crisper faces and better focus.

vivo’s V Series appeals to the country’s youth, who live a more trendy lifestyle and are drawn to mobile photography, whilst the X Series represents professional imaging experience, ensuring DSLR-like photographs are used by pros.
These series have succeeded in bridging the gap between a powerful photography device and the vibrant lifestyle of today’s youngsters.
The success of the V and X series, which were introduced last year, reflects the brand’s stronghold on the Pakistani market.
The V Series is more than just a high-tech smartphone line; it has become a vital part of consumers’ lives, one that reflects their personalities and lifestyles.
On the other hand, when it comes to lenses, the X Series co-engineered with ZEISS is a popular choice among most consumers, highlighting the brand’s unrivaled experience in the sector.
What are Key Breakthroughs in V and X Series in Pakistan?
Eric Kong (Eric Kong): We have delivered some of the most remarkable camera-centric flagship devices to market via our premium V series and X series line-ups, setting new industry benchmarks, with mobile imaging as one of the strategic tracks.
While the V20, V21, V21e, V23 5G, and V23e include industry-leading front camera capabilities as well as night photography capabilities via advanced eye focusing, wide-angle camera, and macro camera, the V series includes the V20, V21, V21e, V23 5G, and V23e.
Our premium X series, on the other hand, contains the X60 Pro and X70 Pro, which have redefined professional-grade photography standards.

In addition, according to a vivo consumption study, the V23e swiftly became the people’s favorite smartphone after its successful launch in January 2022, demonstrating significant popular preference amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
What are User and Design-Centric Innovations in V and X Series?
Eric Kong: We were aware that the camera series needed to stand out from the rest of the Vivo product line due to consumers’ strong demand for camera-centric smartphones, so we wanted the innovation to be contextual, keeping design preferences in mind.
When it comes to the V Series, which features exquisite devices with an ethereal beauty, high processing powers, ultra-modern camera setups, capacious memory, enormous screens, and advanced operating systems,
The latest V series device, the V23 5G, features a Color Changing Fluorite AG Design on the back cover of the phone, which has turned the market on its head.

The ZEISS T* Coating on the new X70 Pro eliminates stray light and ghosting, delivering genuine colors day and night.
Because of the X Series’ bendability and flexibility, it has a substantially longer lifespan than earlier displays, lowering the risk of unintentional device damage.
Overall, both Series have a basic and attractive design language that reinforces the brand’s dedication to user-centric design that incorporates technology and nature.
How Does Vivo Empower and Add Value to People’s Lives?
