Compact smartphones have become increasingly rare in recent years, but 2025 has delivered a surprisingly strong lineup for those who prefer smaller handsets. While most flagships now push beyond 6.7 inches, several new launches stay comfortably under the 6.3-inch mark or use foldable designs to remain pocket-friendly without sacrificing screen size.

Here are the top compact phones you can pick up this year. The list includes both traditional bar-style phones and modern flip phones, many of which earn their place thanks to their compact form factor.

The camera setup includes a 50MP main sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, and a 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. Image quality remains consistent across the board.

Samsung fitted the Galaxy S25 with a 4000mAh battery, which offers solid endurance thanks to the chip’s improved efficiency. The phone supports 45W wired and fast wireless charging. It also features IP68 water resistance and an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. Pricing starts around $800 globally.

The post Vivo S30, S30 Pro Mini Geekbench listings reveal Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, Dimensity 9400e chipsets before launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo is preparing to launch its S30 series in China later this month. The new lineup follows last year’s S20 series and brings some changes to how the models are structured. This year, the company is shifting away from its usual formula and introducing a slightly different setup.

Vivo S30 and S30 Pro mini Specifications

The regular Vivo S30 keeps things familiar. It will feature a 6.67-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 (SM7750) chipset. The phone will include a 6500mAh battery and a 50MP IMX882 periscope camera.

What’s different this time is that there’s no standard “Pro” model. Instead, Vivo is replacing it with a new device called the S30 Pro Mini. According to Vivo China’s product VP Ouyang Weifeng and leaker Digital Chat Station, this model will stand in for the usual Pro variant and bring a mix of compact design and high-end specs.

The S30 Pro Mini will come with a smaller 6.31-inch flat OLED display at the same 1.5K resolution. It’s powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400e SoC and also carries a 6500mAh battery. 

Like the standard model, it is said to include a 50MP IMX882 periscope camera. It will feature a metal middle frame for a more premium build than typical mid-range phones.

The S30 Pro Mini is expected to be rebranded as the Vivo X200 FE in international markets. While Vivo hasn’t confirmed the exact launch date yet, the S30 series is expected to be announced in China before the end of May.

Vivo is preparing to unveil the S30 series in China, which includes two models: the Vivo S30 and a more compact Vivo S30 Pro Mini. In a new development, tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed key details about both smartphones.

Vivo S30 series key details tipped

Recently, a Vivo official confirmed that the Vivo S30 will feature a 6.67-inch flat OLED panel, whereas the S30 Pro Mini will be a compact offering equipped with a 6.31-inch flat OLED screen. The report also suggested that both devices will be equipped with a 6,500mAh battery.

DCS revealed in a new Weibo post that the Vivo S30 Pro Mini will be powered by MediaTek’s yet-to-be-announced Dimensity 9400e chipset. This SoC is expected to be an improved version of the Dimensity 9300+, which was launched in May 2024.

A previous report claimed that its rear camera setup will comprise a 50-megapixel + 8-megapixel + 50-megapixel triple camera unit. This device is likely to get rebranded as the Vivo X200 FE in India.

The new leak also suggests that the S30 will feature the same periscope telephoto camera along with a metal middle frame. The tipster has not shared anything about the Vivo S30’s chipset. However, the tipster has previously claimed that the device will be equipped with the Qualcomm SM7550 chip, which is nothing but the existing Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 SoC.

Vivo is gearing up to launch a compact powerhouse under its S-series in China, officially named the Vivo S30 Pro Mini. Vivo’s Product VP, Ouyang Weifeng, confirmed the device via Weibo, stating that it will debut at the end of May. Positioned as a smaller yet capable version of the S Pro lineup, the phone aims to deliver flagship performance in a hand-friendly form factor.

The S30 Pro Mini will feature a 6.31-inch OLED flat screen with a 1.5K resolution, identical in size to the Vivo X200 Pro Mini. Despite its compact frame, the device will pack a 6,500mAh battery—the largest ever seen in a mini smartphone. It also supports 100W wired and wireless charging, a rare combination in compact phones.

According to previous leaks, the phone will feature a 50MP Sony IMX882 periscope telephoto camera, matching the one used in the Vivo X200s, and a 50MP front camera. The device is expected to include Fuji-style image filters, which have been positively received by users. A metal middle frame and vibrant color options further enhance its premium appeal.

The rest of the Vivo S30 lineup is also expected to feature 6.67-inch OLED flat displays, Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipsets, and the same 6,500mAh battery. Despite its thin and lightweight build, the S30 Pro Mini is expected to outperform competitors like the OnePlus 13T, which features a 6,260mAh battery.

A special collaboration with a well-known celebrity group is also planned to generate buzz around the launch. While the Vivo S30 Pro Mini will initially debut in China, it is likely to launch globally as the Vivo X200 FE, including a release in India.

While the official moniker of the device is not known yet, it is likely to be called the Vivo S30 Pro Mini, a cheaper alternative to the Vivo X200 Pro Mini flagship phone that debuted in October 2024 in China. Here’s a look at what to expect from its specifications.

Vivo S30 Pro Mini key details tipped

As per the above Weibo post by reliable tipster Digital Chat Station, the alleged Vivo S30 Pro Mini will feature a 6.3x-inch OLED flat display with a 1.5K resolution. Its battery size could be between 6,500mAh and 7,000mAh capacity. It further states that the S30 Pro Mini will have support for 100W wired charging and wireless charging.

The other Weibo post by DCS reveals that the device is expected to launch in China in May. The phone will come in a variety of vibrant colors, and the frame has a premium, iPhone-like feel that adds to its visual appeal.

Despite its slim and lightweight build, the standout feature of this device is its massive battery — the largest seen so far in any compact phone, and by a significant margin. It will be larger than the OnePlus 13T’s 6,260mAh battery. DCS also revealed that the device will be equipped with a 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 periscope telephoto camera. It seems that the device could be equipped with a metal middle frame.

DCS added that Vivo is also introducing a high-profile collaboration with a popular celebrity group, adding an element of cultural buzz to the launch. On the imaging side, the entire lineup is said to feature the same periscope telephoto lens found on the Vivo X200s, paired with Fuji-style image filters that have already received positive feedback from users.

This indicates that the Vivo S30 could also be equipped with a 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 periscope camera.  Per a previous report, the device will feature a 6.67-inch OLED 1.5K screen and the upcoming Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chip.

As per a previous report, the Vivo S30 Pro Mini will feature the Dimensity 9400e chipset, a 50-megapixel selfie camera, and a 50-megapixel triple camera setup. It is likely that the device will get rebranded as the Vivo X200 FE in India. A recent report revealed that the FE model will debut in the country.

Vivo X200 FE specifications (rumored)

The Vivo X200 FE will be a compact offering equipped with a 6.1-inch LTPO OLED panel that will support a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.

The X200 FE is said to be equipped with a 6,500mAh battery with 90W fast charging support. Despite featuring a huge battery, the device is said to weigh only around 200 grams.

The X200 FE will continue with the Zeiss partnership for its cameras. It will feature a 50-megapixel front camera and a 50-megapixel (main, OIS) + 8-megapixel (ultra-wide) + 50-megapixel (Sony IMX882, 3x telephoto) triple camera unit. While it is expected to ship with FunTouch OS 15-based Android 15 like recent Vivo phones, the report says that it will be treated with three years of OS upgrades and four years of security updates.

Speculations are rife that it will be a rebranded version of the Vivo S30 Pro Mini, which is expected to launch this month in China.

The post Alleged Vivo S30 Pro Mini specs leak reveals 6.31-inch OLED screen, Dimensity 9400e, dual 50MP cameras, and more appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo is known for launching two generations of S-series smartphones in China each year. Last year, the brand unveiled the S19 lineup in May 2024, followed by the S20 series in November. Therefore, the next S-series phones are expected to be announced around May this year. However, there has been some discussion about whether the next iteration will be called the S21 or S30. A new leak by tipster Panda is Bald has revealed the name of Vivo’s next S-series for the Chinese market.

Vivo S30 color options

According to the tipster, Vivo will skip the “21” naming and jump directly to the “S30” series. In terms of colour options, the tipster shared images of previous S-series phones in blue, gold, pink, and black, suggesting that the Vivo S30 series will be available in at least these four shades.

Vivo is unlikely to talk about the S30 series now as it is focused on the Vivo X200 Ultra launch event, which is expected to be held in the second half of this month. Alongside the X200 Ultra, the brand will announce the Vivo X200S, Vivo Pad 5 Pro, Vivo Pad SE, and Watch 5. Therefore, the brand may start teasing the arrival of the S30 series after unveiling the above-mentioned products.

Last month, tipster Digital Chat Station revealed that the Vivo S30 will feature a 6.67-inch OLED panel offering a 1.5K resolution and the upcoming Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset. On the other hand, there will be another model with a compact form factor, featuring a 6.31-inch OLED panel and the Dimensity 9300 Plus chipset. It wouldn’t be surprising if the company decides to call it the Vivo S30 Pro Mini as an affordable alternative to the more powerful Vivo X200 Pro Mini.
