In the previous week, the Vivo X27 moniker was spotted on Tmall which suggested that it could be the name of the successor of the Vivo X23. Then the gradient blue variant of the phone was recently spotted on a popular TV show in China. Today, the Chinese manufacturer has confirmed through Weibo that the Vivo X27 will be announced on March 19 through a launch event in China.

The Vivo X27 launch poster only confirms the unveil date but does not reveal any details on its specs. Rumors are rife that the Vivo phone model number V1829A/V1829T that was recently certified by TENAA telecom authority could be the Vivo X27.

The V1829A/T Vivo smartphone has a notch-less display like the Vivo NEX and Vivo V15 Pro. The 6.39-inch AMOLED screen of the phone is embedded with an under-display fingerprint sensor. The handset is powered by an octa-core processor that clocks at 2.2 GHz. It is speculated that it could be featuring the Snapdragon 710 mobile platform. The predecessor Vivo X23 was powered by the Snapdragon 670 SoC. The SD710 chip on the Vivo X27 will be assisted by 8 GB of RAM.

The purported Vivo X27 is preloaded with Android 9 Pie OS. The smartphone may draw power from a 4,000mAh battery that may carry support for 22.5W rapid charging technology like the Vivo X23. The top edge of the phone will be featuring a pop-up front camera of 16-megapixel. The 48-megapixel + 13-megapixel + 5-megapixel AI driven triple camera setup will be available on the rear shell of the phone. The Vivo X27 will be available in China in 128 GB and 256 GB storage models. However, there is no information available on the pricing of these variants.

The V1831A/T is another Vivo phone that has been approved by TENAA. The specs of the phone are identical to the Vivo V15 smartphone. The only major difference is that the Vivo V15 features a 32-megapixel whereas the V1831A/T has a 25-megapixel. It is speculated that the handset may get unveiled as Vivo Z5. Other rumors have claimed that it could be the first phone in the new S-series. Hence, it is also speculated to debut as Vivo S1.
