Vivo is apparently developing a pocket vlog camera to compete with DJI Osmo

Just recently, when we all heard about declining smartphone production and price surges in the global market, Vivo might have been looking into other ventures as well. Well, it was unprecedented before, but it has recently been confirmed that the Chinese company, known for its DSLR-like cameras, is now working on a dedicated pocket camera for content creators. The device is expected to launch sometime in 2026, though no official specs, name, or pricing have been revealed yet. Anyway, let’s get into the article, where I will discuss everything we know so far about Vivo’s upcoming vlogging camera, including rumours, expected features, and market positioning.

What we know

The project reportedly started internally toward the end of 2025. And Vivo seems to be leveraging its smartphone imaging and stabilisation expertise to create a compact camera capable of pocketable, high-quality video. Beyond that, details remain scarce. Still, from what we know, the camera seems to be aimed at competing directly with DJI’s Osmo Pocket series, which has been popular with vloggers for a long time..

But at the same time, other rumors tell us that Vivo isn’t the only company moving into this space. Apparently, Insta360 is developing a modular pocket camera for creators. So the market for compact, handheld creator cameras is getting more crowded.
