Vivo Mobile Communications Subsidiary Starts Production in Manaus and Highlights Chinese Expertise in Slim, Lightweight, and Powerful Smartphones

JOVI, the new brand from Chinese giant Vivo Mobile Communications, took the first step to establish its presence in Brazil by starting smartphone production in the Manaus Free Trade Zone. With plans to conquer the Brazilian consumer, the brand bets on sophisticated design, cutting-edge technology, and advanced photography features. According to the website TudoCelular, the initiative promises to heat up the national market and reflects the direct impacts of the evolution of foldable devices that have been gaining prominence globally.

National Production and Strategic Entry of JOVI in Brazil

Vivo Mobile Communications, known internationally for its innovation in mobile devices, chose to use the name JOVI in Brazil to avoid conflict with the carrier Vivo. National production at the Manaus factory aims to streamline logistics, reduce costs, and provide local technical support, making the devices more competitive in the country.

The official store launch is scheduled for the second quarter of 2025, and one of the models already approved by Anatel is the JOVI V50 Lite 5G, which is expected to be the first to reach Brazilian consumers.

The Strength of Chinese Foldables: The Example of the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro

The launch of JOVI in Brazil reflects a moment when Chinese brands are dominating the foldable smartphone segment, offering products that impress with their lightweight design, power, and premium finish.

A clear example of this technological revolution is the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro, launched in March of this year in China. It features:

Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset
Two AMOLED displays with up to 4500 nits of brightness
Aluminum structure with glass finish
Weight of only 236 grams, one of the lightest in the segment
5700 mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging
ZEISS rear cameras up to 64 MP with optical zoom
Two ultrasonic fingerprint sensors under the display (internal and external)

The device also stands out for having a carbon fiber hinge and IPX8 water resistance, in addition to running Android 15 with artificial intelligence features like dynamic wallpapers and AI image editing.

Although the model has no sales forecast in Brazil, it showcases the level of sophistication that the manufacturer has already achieved in its local markets — which could potentially reflect in models launched here in the future.

What to Expect from JOVI in Brazil?

Initially focusing on mid-range devices like the V50 Lite 5G, JOVI is set to compete with established brands in the country, offering differentiators such as modern design, premium camera experience, and simplified interface, in addition to the advantage of local production.

According to Folha de S.Paulo and TudoCelular, the brand’s strategy is clear: to attract consumers looking for style, technology, and fair prices, all with national technical support.

What to Expect from JOVI in Brazil?

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

The island that has 35 inhabitants and celebrates Christmas on January 6: the remote island of Foula lives in isolation, without internet and following Julius Caesar’s calendar for centuries.

A German architect built a cylindrical house in 1994 that rotates to follow the sun throughout the day, generates 5 times more energy than it consumes, and was the world’s first energy-positive house.

An astronaut spent 340 days in space while his twin brother stayed on Earth, and NASA found a “rejuvenating” effect, genes, microbiome, cognition, and immune system that revealed the biological cost of living outside the planet.

China has just successfully tested the world’s first ground effect maritime vehicle, a craft that flies up to 6 meters above the water at 200 km/h, uses quantum technology and 6G communication, and can rescue patients in the middle of the ocean.

Scientists discover how the mosquito uses a natural “GPS” to find humans and reveal why the head and breath become targets in the attack.

Driver shows why Uber with BYD became a dream for those who live on the app: before it was R$ 3,000 in gasoline, now R$ 500 in energy to drive 5,000 km a month without depending so much on the gas station.
