A new report has just revealed that a 5G Vivo smartphone will launch later on this month. By March end, the Vivo S series latest entry, the Vivo S6, is expected to be announced.
According to a Weibo post by China News Network’s official account, a timeline had been revealed of all the upcoming launches of 5G smartphones from various OEMs. On the Chinese microblogging website, the news reporting agency shared an image that revealed the current month end launch of Vivo S6. If the news is true, then Vivo is shifting another series into 5G networking.
2020 was the year where 5G was supposed to start seeing more widespread adoption in the smartphone industry, and the upcoming launches only cement that statement. Back in 2019, 5G handsets were mostly confined to premium flagships, making them too expensive for most people. Although now 5G enabed devices have dropped in prices, the Vivo S6’s pricing could also be noticeably higher than its previous iteration, Vivo S5.

The Vivo S5’s pricing started from 2,698 Yuan (roughly 389 USD) back in 2019, so it is very likely that the S6 will cross the 3,000 Yuan mark (roughly 433 USD). The S series from Vivo is known to be targetted towards the younger demographics, with unique designs and cutting edge technology. So, the inclusion of 5G is just the perfect fit in 2020.
Unfortunately, finer details regarding the Vivo S6 is currently unknown. We will have to wait for other leaks or an official announcement/teaser from the Chinese company. So stay tuned for more reports with additional information which should arrive in the next couple of days.
