Vivo's announcement that its "imaging strategy conference" for 2022 is imminent has led to speculation that the OEM will showcase new specs or features that could manifest in the successors to its "camera-centric" X80 smartphones. The upcoming Android devices are, for example, projected to feature a new in-house chipset that could control a 1-inch sensor in an X90-series flagship.

Vivo's X90 series are thought to become the latest mobile photography-specific flagships from their Android brand during its next (and possibly last) major product event of 2022. Now, however, it seems this launch will be preceded by a press conference for the OEM's most cutting-edge camera tech to take place much sooner in the year.

This presentation, now touted to bring the "fun of creativity" to all, might thus introduce Vivo's latest in-house imaging hardware as well as AI techniques, not the least of which could be a next-gen ISP. This chipset, likely to launch as the V2, could feature in devices such as the potential "Galaxy S23-killing" X90 Pro+ flagship.

Then again, should that be the case, Vivo's new Weibo conference posters could conceivably bear Zeiss logos as an indicator that its current camera brand partner will have a presence at this show as it has done in previous years - however, those signature blue squares are nowhere to be seen.

Then again, it is too early to say whether this is a sign that the collaboration between the 2 parties will come to an end soon.

Nevertheless, whatever Vivo's emerging "imaging strategy" proves to be, the OEM asserts that photos taken as a result will be "amazing". Accordingly, the first sample shots to back this claim up may be officially unveiled on October 24, 2022.
