Vivo usually launches two generations of S-series phones in China each year. In May, the brand unveiled the Vivo S60 series, and it appears that the S70 lineup may not be far away. A new leak from tipster Smart Pikachu has revealed the launch timeframe and initial details about the S70.

Vivo S70’s fisrt details emerge

According to the tipster, a wave of mid-range camera phones will start launching next month in China. The post tags the Vivo S70, which suggests the phone could debut in China in November. The tipster also claims that only one brand in this batch will offer a large-sensor periscope camera with teleconverter support. The other phones expected to launch in November in China include the Honor 700 series and Oppo Reno 17 lineup.

That brand is likely Vivo, so the S70 could get a bigger telephoto sensor than the S60’s 50-megapixel periscope. An attachable teleconverter would give buyers extra zoom without spending on a flagship. So far, Vivo has offered this accessory only with its premium X-series phones.

For reference, the Vivo S60 has a 6.59-inch AMOLED panel at 2750 x 1260 resolution, with a 144Hz refresh rate and up to 5,000 nits of peak brightness. It runs on the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, and ships with OriginOS 6 based on Android 16.

Around the back, the S60 has a 50-megapixel main camera with OIS, a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera. A 50-megapixel camera on the front handles selfies. Inside is a 7,200mAh silicon-carbon battery with 90W wired charging, and the phone is rated IP68 and IP69.
