Vivo & ZEISS Expand AI Imaging and Healthcare Partnership

The longstanding collaboration between Vivo and ZEISS has transitioned to a new chapter, characterized by the development of AI-based imaging, healthcare solutions, and professional mobile photography.

In accordance with its plan, Vivo also became the first Chinese smartphone brand to be a member of the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA), symbolizing both companies' commitment to secure, traceable, and tamper-resistant content.

"Cooperation between Vivo and ZEISS is deep and wide, going beyond hardware or software solutions. We are looking forward to extending and intensifying our cooperation in order to facilitate intuitive and creative mobile imaging technology use by millions of people around the world." added André Kutz, Head of ZEISS Photonics & Optics.

Key Highlights:

Vivo, ZEISS strengthen collaboration with AI imaging advances
Partnership extends into healthcare with handheld slit lamp
Vivo joins C2PA, boosting secure and traceable imaging content

With this partnership, the two firms are collectively driving mobile imaging to new fronts. In the healthcare sector, Vivo is integrating its Telephoto Macro technology of the X200 series with medical-grade optics to develop a handheld slit lamp for ophthalmology diagnosis, bringing the capabilities of ZEISS optics to medical innovation.

Vivo's X100 Ultra and X200 Ultra phones will feature cross-device features like 3D imaging and 60 fps spatial video, and the launch of the Vision Discovery Edition further highlights the joint move into immersive content creation.
