In May 2014, vivo released a new phone, the Xshot. The Xshot comes in two styles: the "flagship" version packs Qualcomm's Snapdragon 801 SoC (quad-core, 2.5 GHz) with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of built-in storage, whereas the "elite" version has the 2.3 GHz Snapdragon 800 with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. Its combination of optical image stabilization plus a bright f/1.8 aperture makes it a rather unique selling point.^[7] [8][9]

The X3S has a slim body design, being 5.75mm wide. It gained the record for the world's thinnest smartphone when it was released.^[10]

One of vivo's older phones, the vivo X1, gained the record for the world's thinnest smartphone at that time and the smartphone is marketed for Hi-Fi enthusiasts.^[11][12]

Other smartphones vivo produced are the Y22, Y15 and several other models.
