vivo joins the list of top 5 smartphone brands in the Philippines in the second quarter of 2022, according to the recently released International Data Corporation Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker. Despite the industry’s overall decrease in QoQ smartphone shipment, IDC reports that vivo recorded a 335.4% QoQ increase in its shipments.

This significant market comeback can be owed to the company’s new entry models: the vivo Y15s and vivo Y15A. vivo’s reinforced market position in the ultra-low-end segment has allowed the brand to reach a broader target audience. Moreover, partnerships with relevant brands and events such as the PUBG Turbo Cup Challenge, a mobile esports championship, helped vivo penetrate the highly competitive mobile-gaming market.

The recently launched additions to its continuously growing roster, such as the “co-engineered with ZEISS photography masters” vivo X80 series phones and the power-packed turbo vivo T series, among others, have also contributed to this feat.

The next half of the year proves to be just as exciting for vivo, as the brand is slated to launch a few more devices in its smartphone lineup. For more updates on the manufacturer and its products, follow them through their website and official accounts on Facebook, Instagram, and Youtube.

Team REVU Founded by Alora Uy Guerrero and Ramon "Monch" Lopez, REVU Philippines is the product of 42 combined years in the media trenches — long enough to see gadgets rise, platforms fall, and deadlines multiply. Between them, they've shaped content for Yahoo, T3, Techie, TV5, MEGA, GadgetMatch, and Gadgets, with a few strategic side quests in retail, PR, and marketing. We're a lean team, which means no filler and no fluff, just the stories worth telling. Between chasing kids, specs, and the perfect camera angle, we brew coffee, shoot content, play video games, watch hoops, blast our favorite bands, and somehow still hit our deadlines. REVU is our passion project, built on the belief that tech journalism should have as much style as it does substance — and preferably enough caffeine to power a small server farm.
