Vivo has quietly confirmed that the S50 series is launching in China in December. The company put up a pre-reservation page without any big announcement, but it confirms the phones are coming next month.
Anyone in China can sign up early, and Vivo is even running a small lucky draw where participants can win the Vivo S50 itself, a 500 yuan travel card, a mystery gift, or some Vivo points.
What to expect?
The lineup is expected to include two models: the Vivo S50 and the Vivo S50 Pro Mini. As the name suggests, the Pro Mini is the compact member of the family, expected to sport a 6.31-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.
Both devices are confirmed to feature a 9600Mbps LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. And it was also teased today by a company official that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset is coming to the lineup, likely to the S50 Pro Mini.
It is also rumored to include an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor and a 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 periscope telephoto lens.
The regular Vivo S50 may also get a Snapdragon 8-series chip, even though early leaks suggest it might run the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4.
In terms of screens, the S50 is expected to go slightly larger with a 6.59-inch OLED panel, again at 1.5K and 120Hz. Both phones may ship with a triple-camera setup featuring a periscope telephoto sensor, along with support for 90W fast charging.
There’s also been some speculation that the global Vivo V70 could be based on the S50 series. However, the former recently ran a Geekbench with a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, so the global model may end up quite different.
