Vivo is reportedly working on the Vivo S17e, Vivo S17, and Vivo S17 Pro. These devices will succeed the Vivo S16e, S16, and S16 Pro, which debuted in December 2022. A report that surfaced last month revealed some details about the upcoming smartphones, including their model numbers and some specifications. However, a new Weibo post by tipster Wisdom Pikachu has shed more light on the chipsets that will power the S17 trio and the expected launch timeframe.
As per the information shared by the tipster, the Vivo S17 series is expected to be announced at some point in May. Hence, its arrival is expected to coincide with the 618 online shopping festival in China, which will be held around June 18. The timing of the launch could be strategic, as it will allow Vivo to capitalise on the festival’s increased consumer spending.
OPPO is expected to announce the Reno 10 series in May in China. The tipster claimed that the upcoming Vivo S17 will rival the Reno 10 lineup. Hence, the S17 lineup is expected to launch in May, but we believe that it may debut by the end of the said month.
In the Weibo post, the tipster also mentioned three chipsets, such as the Snapdragon 778G, Dimensity 8200, and Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. These chipsets may power the Vivo S17e, Vivo S17, and Vivo S17 Pro. Interestingly, the OPPO Reno 10, Reno 10 Pro, and Reno 10 Pro+ are also said to be equipped with the SD778G, D8200, and SD8+G1, respectively.
According to the leaked information that surfaced earlier this month, the Vivo S17e, S17, and S17 Pro have model numbers V2285A, V2283A, and V2284A, respectively. It also revealed that the Vivo S17 series will have common features, such as an AMOLED screen with curved edges, a color-changing rear shell, and an OIS-assisted main camera. The S17 lineup will come in RAM and storage options like 8 GB / 12 GB of RAM and 128 GB / 256 GB of storage. Additionally, the S17 Pro is expected to have a 16 GB RAM variant, catering to users with more demanding needs.
