The Vivo S18 series made its debut in China in December. It consists of three models, namely Vivo S18, Vivo S18 Pro, and Vivo S18e.

Both ‘vanilla’ and ‘pro’ variants feature an identical design and colors as opposed to ‘e’ version. Now, two months after their launch, the company is about to introduce a new color for the vanilla model.

Vivo S18 Diamond Purple

According to the Chinese media house Whylab, the Vivo S18’s new color variant will be officially called ‘Diamond Purple’. The publication has even shared a teaser poster for this hue, which confirms that it will launch on March 1.

The picture reveals that unlike the original three colors of the phone that have a glass back, this one will flaunt a leather finish. The leather will sport three three-dimensional diamond patterns as found on the Vivo X Flip clamshell foldable smartphone.

Finally, the image says that the device will come with 16GB RAM. This means the new color will likely be limited to the top-end 16GB + 512GB memory configuration which retails at ¥2,999 (~$420).

However, there will not be any difference in specs. The upcoming Diamond Purple variant of Vivo S18 should be identical to the standard three colors in terms of features.

For the unaware, the S18 comes with a 6.78-inch FHD+ 120Hz curved OLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset, a 50MP (wide) + 8MP (ultrawide) dual camera setup on the rear, a 50MP selfie camera, a 5,000mAh battery, and 80W wired charging support.
