VIVO Malaysia has unveiled the X300 Series at Sunway Carnival Mall in Penang, marking a significant milestone in the brand’s partnership with Tourism Malaysia as the Strategic Partner for Visit Malaysia 2026.
The launch event introduced two flagship devices positioned as both The Ultimate Concert Phone and The Ultimate Travel Phone, while also announcing the vivo Vision+ Mobile PhotoAwards Malaysia, a photography initiative designed to encourage Malaysians to capture and share visual stories from across the country.
Five-Year Partnership Reaches New Heights
The Strategic Partner designation builds on a five-year working relationship between vivo Malaysia and Tourism Malaysia.
This collaboration aims to support the local tourism landscape through a series of travel-driven initiatives planned throughout 2026.
The partnership aligns with vivo’s vision to empower users to document Malaysia’s cultural richness and natural beauty through advanced mobile imaging technology.
