vivo Could Add Google Scam Detection, Becoming 3rd Android Brand

Summary
Android Authority found code in Phone by Google app version 234.0.9 pointing to vivo as the next phone maker to support Google’s Scam Detection.
The on-device AI feature listens for scam patterns during calls and can trigger pop-up, audio and haptic warnings, while excluding calls with saved contacts.
vivo would become the third Android brand with the tool after Pixel phones and Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series, though supported vivo models and rollout timing remain unclear.
Global availability may hinge on vivo’s dialer setup: the company uses its own phone app in China but relies on Google’s dialer in overseas markets.
The evidence comes from an APK teardown, meaning the feature is still unreleased and could change or fail to ship publicly.
