VIVO KILLS CAMERA PHONES AND ORIGINOS 🤯

Absolute madness from the Vivo press room today. They are officially ditching the "photography flagship" title to go 100% into hardcore mobile gaming. The upcoming Vivo X500 Pro G (Gaming) literally has zero cameras on the back. It is just a flat glass slab. (flatter than Hu Tao 😭)

The Strategy:

Zero Bloat: Removing the camera modules saved enough internal space for a massive dual-fan active cooling system and a 12000mAh battery.

The Pogo Pin Mod: Since they know some people still want photos, they are launching the "Vision-X" module. It is a $2,000 external sensor and lens combo that snaps onto gold pogo pins on the back.

RIP OriginOS: To keep the system "ultra-light" for maximum FPS, they are actually killing OriginOS. They are bringing back Funtouch OS for all models worldwide, including the China variants.

Performance: 120FPS locked in Wuthering Waves (240 FPS with WhiteFlow Frame Interpolation) because the SoC is no longer fighting for thermal headroom or "pretty" UI animations.

Vivo's CEO reportedly said: "If you want to take a selfie, go buy a mirror. If you want to win, buy a Vivo. Funtouch is the future of speed."
