In May, Vivo unveiled the Vivo S15 series of smartphones in China. Recent reports have claimed that the company is preparing the S16 series for the home market. A new leak, courtesy of tipster Digital Chat Station, reveals that the S16 series will launch by the end of this month.

Apart from claiming that the Vivo S16 series will launch by December-end in China, the tipster also shared key details about the S16 Pro. He revealed that the phone will have an OLED display with support for a high refresh rate, a Dimensity 8200 chipset, and 80W charging.

To recall, the Vivo S15 and S15 Pro were powered by the Snapdragon 870 and Dimensity 8100 chipsets, respectively. Reports have claimed that the Vivo S16 will also feature the SD870 chip. It is speculated that the S16 Pro will have the Vivo V1+ IPS, but the vanilla model will not feature it.

As can be seen in the screengrab, the S16 Pro’s rivalling devices are all equipped with low-frequency Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset. However, the chipset is only available on the Reno 9 Pro+, which was announced in November in China. The Vivo S15 Pro is also expected to rival other Dimensity 8200-powered devices likes the iQOO Neo 7 SE, Realme GT Neo 5, and a Redmi K60 series phone.

Last month, two Vivo phones with V2244A and V2245A model numbers were certified by China’s 3C authority. The 3C listings of both devices revealed that may carry support for 80W fast charging. There is a possibility that these Vivo phones may debut as the S16 and S16 Pro in China.

The S16 is likely to come in black, blue, and purple, whereas the S16 Pro may arrive in black, green, and orange gold. The S16-series is also rumored to include Exynos 1080-powered Vivo S16e.
