vivo Hu Baishan: Phones will evolve from Smart Phone to Agent Phone form, providing customized differentiated Agent experiences for different product lines.

Sina Technology News, March 24 evening—The 2026 annual meeting of the Boao Asian Forum kicked off in Boao, Hainan. As a member of the Boao Asian Forum Council and its strategic cooperation partner for five consecutive years, vivo officially unveiled at the Boao venue its Blue Technology matrix and latest technological achievements in fields such as AI, 6G, and MR. In addition, the vivo X300 series became the “officially designated mobile phone of the Boao Asian Forum,” and the latest imaging flagship X300 Ultra also made its first appearance on the Boao exhibition stage.

On the afternoon of the 24th, Hu Boshang, vivo’s President and Chief Operating Officer and Head of the vivo Central Research Institute, was invited to deliver a keynote speech at the “Moment of Release” segment titled “Imaging as the Path, Intelligence Meets All Things—‘Staring Back’ Between AI and the Physical World.” Based on its forward-looking judgment about how future technology will evolve, vivo showcased its “Imaging + AI” strategic plan, aiming to build a perception system based on imaging and drive AI’s crucial leap from the digital world to the physical world.

Hu Boshang said that in the next decade, smartphones will remain the absolute dominant carrier for human-computer interaction. The phone will not only be a communication tool, but also the “first scene” where AI lands—becoming the perception hub of the physical world and an individual’s digital brain. In the latter half of AI development, sensing and understanding the physical world will be the deciding factor, and imaging is precisely the “eyes” that enable AI to move toward the physical world. Based on this forward-looking insight, vivo has elevated imaging to a strategic height that determines the future of AI, and will steadily expand intelligent ecosystems across multiple scenarios, moving toward becoming an ecosystem-based technology platform company.

Around user scenarios, vivo is building a complete perception system driven by a “dual-engine” of “imaging + AI.” Hu Boshang pointed out that with the added power of deep integration between imaging and AI, future phones will evolve from the Smart Phone form to the Agent Phone form, becoming a digital companion that combines perception, thinking, and action. On this foundation, vivo will customize differentiated Agent experiences for different product lines, deeply understanding users’ needs in high-frequency scenarios, and comprehensively reshaping the product interaction paradigm. The upcoming vivo X300 Ultra and vivo X300s will be among the first to adopt imaging Agents with the capability to recognize scenarios, bringing users a smarter and more composed new imaging experience in diverse creative environments.

In the speech, Hu Boshang, vivo’s President and Chief Operating Officer, and Head of the vivo Central Research Institute, said that vivo will focus on imaging as its underlying capability and deeply plan the three core product areas—mobile phones, headsets, and robots. By enabling capabilities step by step in the form of “building blocks,” it will ultimately promote the “imaging + AI” capabilities to all things. Looking ahead, vivo is willing to work together with global partners to build mutual trust and win-win cooperation, engage in joint innovation, and jointly explore the infinite possibilities of “imaging + AI.”
