With almost a week left before the release of Vivo S18 — set to launch in China on December 14 — the pictures were leaked and have been making rounds on social media.
According to Gadget360, the Vivo S18 series — which will succeed the Vivo S17 lineup (launched in May 2023) — will include three models:
- Vivo S18
- Vivo S18 Pro
- Vivo S18e
Earlier, the company teased mobile lovers by giving some hints about the design and colour options.
Images of the Vivo S18 series — shared by a Gizmochina report — showed that the mobile phone will be available in black and grey colours with flower-like patterns on the back panel.
Moreover, in the images — apparently of Vivo S18 Pro — the Aura-LED flash unit, placed below the camera module, is seen to be lit up.
It should be noted that the base Vivo S18 was seen in black, green, and purple colour options on the official microsite of the brand, while the Vivo S18 Pro was teased in a green and purple colour variant. The green and purple options of the base model showed the flower patterns on the back panel, while the darker variant is seen with a solid black colour with no patterns.
Earlier, when the company had confirmed the launch date of the Vivo S18 series, it also revealed several key specifications of the upcoming products.
It was learnt that the base Vivo S18 will come with a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset and a 5,000mAh battery, while the Pro model will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 9200+ SoC.
Meanwhile, the Vivo S18e will get a 4,800mAh battery with 80W wired fast charging support. The phones are also confirmed to feature curved OLED displays with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz.
Vivo China President Jia Jingdong confirmed that the Vivo S18 Pro will be equipped with a Sony 50-megapixel VCS bionic IMX920 primary sensor with optical image stabilisation (OIS) support, another 50-megapixel Samsung JN1 sensor with an ultra-wide lens, and a 12-megapixel Sony IMX663 portrait shooter. It will also include a 50-megapixel front camera sensor alongside dual flash units.
