China's Vivo Vision Looks Like A Blatant Apple Vision Pro Clone

China's Vivo unveiled its headset today, and it looks like a blatant Apple Vision Pro clone, with even the name being copied.
While other Chinese headsets like Play For Dream MR are clearly inspired by Apple Vision Pro, Vivo Vision goes much further, into the realm of looking like an outright clone. Its grey fabric facial interface, rear strap, external battery, and connector look almost identical to Apple's. The only notable design departure is side arms, which are metallic-looking, compared to Apple Vision Pro's white plastic.
No specifications or details of Vivo Vision have yet been announced, so all we know so far is the name and external design. Further, no press or influencers have yet been given a demo of the hardware in action, so it's unclear if a functional prototype yet exists.
The visor of Vivo Vision does look to be sleeker than Apple Vision Pro, suggesting it could be lighter too, but whether this advantage makes it to the final product remains to be seen.
Vivo claims it will launch Vivo Vision in "mid-2025". It hasn't yet said whether it will launch outside China. We'll keep an eye on Vivo for any further details of the headset in the coming weeks and months.
