The Vivo phone that you are using is most likely assembled in India, but the company behind it is actually Chinese. Vivo designs its phones in China but builds them across several countries depending on the market where they are sold. So, if you are curious about which country Vivo belongs to and where your Vivo phone was actually manufactured, follow our in-depth explainer below.
Vivo Company Belongs to Which Country?
Vivo is a Chinese company, and it was founded in 2009 in Dongguan, Guangdong. It's owned by BBK Electronics, which is a Chinese electronics giant that was set up in 1995 by billionaire Duan Yongping. BBK is the parent company behind a number of phone brands. Apart from Vivo, it also controls Oppo, OnePlus and iQOO while Realme is a subsidiary of Oppo.
So when people ask which country Vivo is from, the answer is China, the same as Oppo and OnePlus. Vivo started making feature phones and launched its first smartphone, the Vivo X1, in 2012. Since then, it has become one of the world's top five smartphone makers.
As for the Indian market, Vivo entered in 2014 and has been on the rise ever since. As per Counterpoint Research, Vivo is currently the number one smartphone brand in India, holding a market share of 24%. Globally, Vivo remains a top-five vendor with a market share of 8%.
Which Country Are Vivo Phones Made In?
Like most large phone makers, Vivo has spread its assembly across multiple regions. China is still its biggest manufacturing hub, but the country where your Vivo phone is made depends on where you bought it. On that note, here are the major manufacturing hubs of Vivo phones as of 2026.
- China: China is Vivo's home base and largest production hub. Its main plants are in Dongguan and Chongqing. Phones sold in China and many global markets are built here, and this is also where most of Vivo's research and development happens.
- India: India is Vivo's second biggest hub and the most important one for Indian buyers. Vivo started local assembly in 2014 when only 26% of its India phones were made locally. However, by 2023, that figure had crossed 99%. Vivo has invested over Rs 3,500 crore in India and now assembles phones at a new facility in Greater Noida with a capacity of 60 million units a year. It even exports some phones to Thailand, Malaysia, Bhutan and Saudi Arabia.
- Indonesia and Bangladesh: Vivo has assembly plants in Tangerang (Indonesia) and Dhaka (Bangladesh) to serve those local markets. It has also opened newer plants in Pakistan and Turkey.
Where Do Different Vivo Phone Components Come From?
Now, let's look at where the parts inside your Vivo phone come from. Even though Vivo phones are assembled in India, parts and components are sourced from China, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and other regions. Take a look at the table below.
| Component | Origin Country | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Processor | Taiwan, US | For example, the Vivo X300 Pro uses the MediaTek Dimensity 9500, which is designed by MediaTek in Taiwan and fabricated by TSMC in Taiwan. Many of Vivo's other phones use Qualcomm's Snapdragon chips, which are designed in the US and built by TSMC. |
| Imaging Chip | China | Vivo adds its own in-house V3+ imaging chip which is designed by Vivo in China. |
| Display | China | The X300 Pro uses a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED panel sourced from Chinese display maker BOE. Vivo also uses panels from Samsung Display (South Korea) and Tianma (China). |
| Camera Sensors | Japan, South Korea | Vivo mostly uses Sony's image sensors from Japan and Samsung's (South Korea) sensors for other lens requirements. |
| RAM and Storage | South Korea, US | The RAM and UFS storage are supplied by Samsung and SK Hynix in South Korea. Micron (US) is also used for some devices. |
| Battery | China | Vivo's batteries are mainly sourced from Chinese battery suppliers. |
| Modem | Taiwan, US | Same as the chipset. 5G modems are integrated by either MediaTek (Taiwan) or Qualcomm (US). |
How to Check Which Country Your Vivo Phone Is Made In
Now, let's go ahead and learn where your Vivo phone was manufactured. The easiest way is to check the retail box which mentions where your Vivo phone was made. Every Vivo box has a sticker printed on the side or bottom that mentions the "Country of Origin" or "Made in" detail.
For phones bought in India, this will almost always label India as the manufacturing country since over 99% of Vivo's India units are locally assembled. Note that this label refers to where the phone was physically assembled, not where it was sold. And this is how you can check which country your Vivo phone is made in. If you have a Samsung phone, go ahead and find out where your Samsung phone was made.
