Last week, a reliable source revealed that the Vivo S18 will get a new color variant soon. Today, the company has officially announced this new hue, which officially goes by ‘Diamond Purple.’
Just like the report suggested, the new variant of the phone will release on March 1. However, it can be pre-ordered starting today (February 26).
Diamond Purple is the fourth color for Vivo S18 and this variant arrives with a leather back. Originally, the smartphone was unveiled in three colors with a glass back.
The leather back on the new variant sports three-dimensional diamond patterns. This design was first introduced on the Vivo X Flip clamshell foldable smartphone last year.
The teaser poster shared by Whylab suggested that the purple version will be only available in 16GB + 512GB memory configuration. Apparently, that’s not the case, as the four memory variants can be availed in the new color.
They even cost the same as the original three colors. For a limited time, the base version also gets a ¥200 discount.
Thus, the Vivo S18 Diamond Purple carries the following price tags.
- 8GB + 256GB – ¥2,299 (~$320) [Limited Time – ¥2,099 (~$290)]
- 12GB + 256GB – ¥2,599 (~$360)
- 12GB + 512GB – ¥2,799 (~$390)
- 16GB + 512GB – ¥2,999 (~$415)
As far as specs are concerned, the device arrives with a 6.78-inch FHD+ 120Hz curved OLED display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip, a 50MP (wide) + 8MP (ultrawide) dual camera setup, a 50MP selfie camera, a 5,000mAh battery, and 80W wired charging support.
