Last week we reported that the Vivo S-series will be getting a new model next month. Today, a leak has confirmed that the upcoming model will launch as the Vivo S7. The leak is an image of promotional materials for the phone, and they reveal a few details about the upcoming device.
The source of the leak is a Weibo user and one of the things we can see in the image is that the Vivo S7 will have support for 5G but the chipset that will power it is currently unknown. The Vivo S6 launched with an Exynos 980 processor. We do not know if Vivo will use an Exynos processor again or pick one up from Qualcomm or MediaTek.
The image also shows a billboard that says the phone will be a “lightweight selfie flagship”. We can deduce that the selfie camera and the weight of the phone will be its selling points.
In the image, we can also see a cardboard cutout of the brand ambassador for the phone which is Chinese Actor, Liu Haoran. He is actually holding the phone but we can’t see what it looks like, no thanks to the cardboard box blocking the view. However, we can see the phone will be available in blue.
The Vivo S6 has a waterdrop notch while the back is home to quad rear cameras in a cookie-shaped housing. Seeing as one of the Vivo S7’s selling points will be its selfie camera, we presume the phone will have a punch-hole display, probably one that is large enough to house two cameras.
We expect more details will surface in the weeks leading up to the phone’s launch.
