Vivo surprised smartphone enthusiasts by announcing the Vivo X200 Pro Mini, a powerful flagship phone with a compact design, back in October 2024 in China. The device is available with a starting price of 4,699 Yuan (~$645). A new leak that surfaced on Weibo suggests that the upcoming Vivo S21 Pro could be an affordable alternative to the X200 Pro Mini, as it is also expected to sport a similar compact form factor.

Vivo S21 series key specifications leaked

To recall, the company unveiled the Vivo S20, equipped with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip, and the S20 Pro, featuring the Dimensity 9300+ SoC, in December 2024 in China. It is unclear whether the successor lineup will be called the Vivo S21 or S30 series. As per a new leak, the upcoming S-series Vivo phones will have two models, which could be called the S21 and S21 Pro.

It appears that the Vivo S21 will continue to feature a 6.67-inch OLED panel with a 1.5K resolution and Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chip, similar to its predecessor.

The higher-end model will be equipped with the Dimensity 9300+ chipset. Surprisingly, instead of featuring the same-sized or a larger display, it is tipped to house a 6.31-inch OLED panel with a 1.5K resolution. Therefore, it wouldn’t be surprising if the company dubs it the Vivo S21 Pro Mini instead of the S21 Pro. Like the S20 Pro, its successor may arrive with a sub-3,500 Yuan (~$480) price tag.

The Vivo S21 series is expected to compete with the Honor 400 series and the Oppo Reno 14 series in China. These devices are expected to debut in May.
