Recent findings indicate that Google’s Scam Detection feature may soon be available on vivo smartphones, making vivo the third Android manufacturer to adopt this technology, following Google and Samsung. The feature, which uses on-device AI to identify potential scams during phone calls, has recently been introduced on the Samsung Galaxy S26 series. A teardown of the Phone by Google app revealed internal references to the codename “Sharpie,” linked to Scam Detection, suggesting its upcoming availability on vivo devices. While it is unclear which vivo models will support this feature, speculation points to the vivo X500 series as the likely first recipient, with the X300 series possibly following. It remains uncertain whether vivo will integrate Scam Detection into its own dialer app or use the Phone by Google app. The technology enhances user awareness by monitoring for suspicious patterns during calls, such as requests for payment via gift cards, and provides alerts for potential scams, excluding calls from saved contacts. The anticipated expansion of Scam Detection to vivo reflects a growing trend among Android manufacturers to enhance user safety against scams.
