Among the big changes I noticed when covering overseas is that large digital cameras are now being replaced by smartphones and compact cameras like the DJI Osmo Pocket 3. Its smaller size and support for vertical recording for social media make it more practical than large cameras.
Reports from China now say that Vivo will launch its own Osmo Pocket-like camera in the near future. The development project began in 2025 with it now ready to launch this year.
In recent years, Vivo has become known as a brand with amazing smartphone camera performance through its collaboration with Carl Zeiss. Their entry into the compact camera arena specifically for content creators and vloggers is the next evolution after offering an additional zoom lens kit last year.
