Vivo Electronics

vivo Electronics Corp. is a Chinese smartphone manufacturer based in Dongguan, Guangdong. Founded in 2009, the company has an active presence in several countries in Asia.

Regional divisions

Vivo has a presence in China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar and Thailand. Each has subsidiaries of vivo that operate within their respective countries, designing products for their own regional needs.

Vivo replaced Pepsico as the title sponsor for the Indian Premier League (IPL) in October 2015.

Product Lines

Vivo has three product lines: the X series, the Xplay series and the Xshot series.

X series are positioning HiFi and thin design. Xplay series are positioning HiFi and video experience. Xshot series are positioning HiFi and video capture.

Smartphones

Vivo's current flagship phone, the vivo Xplay3S, is the world's first smartphone with a Quad HD display and features high quality voice and audio.

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.

Electronics

Electronics is the science of how to control electric energy, energy in which the electrons have a fundamental role. Electronics deals with electrical circuits that involve active electrical components such as vacuum tubes, transistors, diodes and integrated circuits, and associated passive electrical components and interconnection technologies. Commonly, electronic devices contain circuitry consisting primarily or exclusively of active semiconductors supplemented with passive elements; such a circuit is described as an electronic circuit.

The nonlinear behaviour of active components and their ability to control electron flows makes amplification of weak signals possible, and electronics is widely used in information processing, telecommunication, and signal processing. The ability of electronic devices to act as switches makes digital information processing possible. Interconnection technologies such as circuit boards, electronics packaging technology, and other varied forms of communication infrastructure complete circuit functionality and transform the mixed components into a regular working system.

Electronic musical instrument

An electronic musical instrument is a musical instrument that produces sound using electronics. Such an instrument sounds by outputting an electrical audio signal that ultimately drives a loudspeaker.

An electronic instrument might include a user interface for controlling its sound, often by adjusting the pitch, frequency, or duration of each note. However, it is increasingly common to separate user interface and sound-generating functions into a music controller (input device) and a music synthesizer, respectively, with the two devices communicating through a musical performance description language such as MIDI or Open Sound Control.

All electronic musical instruments can be viewed as a subset of audio signal processing applications. Simple electronic musical instruments are sometimes called sound effects; the border between sound effects and actual musical instruments is often hazy.

Electronic musical instruments are now widely used in most styles of music. Development of new electronic musical instruments, controllers, and synthesizers continues to be a highly active and interdisciplinary field of research. Specialized conferences, notably the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression, have organized to report cutting-edge work, as well as to provide a showcase for artists who perform or create music with new electronic music instruments, controllers, and synthesizers.

Electronics (magazine)

Electronics was an American trade journal that covered the radio industry and its later spin-offs in the mid-to-late 20th century. Its first issue was dated in April 1930. The periodical was published under the title Electronics until 1984, when it changed temporarily to the new title ElectronicsWeek, but then reverted again to the original title Electronics in 1985. The ISSN for the corresponding periods are: 0013-5070 for the 1930–1984 issues, 0748-3252 for the 1984–1985 issues with title ElectronicsWeek, and 0883-4989 for the 1985–1995 issues. It was published by McGraw-Hill until 1988, when it was sold to the Dutch company VNU. VNU sold its American electronics magazines to Penton Publishing the next year.

Generally a monthly magazine, its frequency and page count varied with the state of the industry, until its end in 1995. More than its principal rival Electronic News, it balanced its appeal to managerial and technical interests (at the time of its 1992 makeover, it described itself as a magazine for managers). The magazine was best known for publishing the April 19, 1965 article by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore, in which he outlined what came to be known as Moore's Law.

Vivo (photography)

Vivo was a short-lived Japanese photographic cooperative.

Eikoh Hosoe, Kikuji Kawada, Ikkō Narahara, Akira Satō, Akira Tanno, and Shōmei Tōmatsu — six of the participants of the celebrated 1957 exhibition Jūnin no me (10人の眼, Eyes of ten) — formed the Vivo cooperative in July 1957, naming it after the Esperanto word for "life." They shared an office and darkroom in Higashi Ginza (Tokyo), marketing and distributing their own work. Kōtarō Iizawa terms their office "the epicenter of the 'image generation's' photographic expression," and the members' activities "a prime example" of the way Japanese photographers of the time "confronted head-on the transformation of modern Japanese society."

The group disbanded in June 1961.

Retrospectives have included a major exhibition at the Shadai Gallery.

Notes

Vivo (telecommunications)

Vivo (IPA: [ˈvivu], Portuguese for "alive"), legally known as Telefônica Brasil, is the largest telecommunications company in Brazil. It is headquartered in São Paulo.

History

The company was originally formed as part of Telebrás, the state-owned telecom monopoly at the time. In 1998, Telebrás was demerged and privatized, with Telefónica taking Telesp. Telesp was rebranded as Telefonica from 1998 until April 15, 2012, when all Telefonica services were rebranded again to Vivo, using the same strategy of unifying all its services in a unique brand, like Movistar (Hispanic America and Spain) and O₂ (rest of Europe). Currently, the Telefonica brand is only used for the group Telefônica Brasil.
