Vivo S1 is now official. Days after the Vivo S1 was spotted on Chinese regulator TENAA's website, the company has officially announced the phone. Sporting a notchless display and pop-up selfie camera, the new Vivo S1 is the first phone in the company's S Series. The other lineups in the company's portfolio include Nex Series, X Series, Z Series, Y Series, and U Series. The Vivo S1 will be released in two colour options and comes with features like Helio P70 SoC, a full-HD+ screen, triple rear camera setup, and dual-SIM support. The Vivo S1 looks a lot like the company's V15 smartphone and even shares a few features with the phone.
According to Vivo, the S1 will carry a price tag of CNY 2,298 (roughly Rs. 24,500) for the sole 6GB + 128GB storage model. The phone will be offered in Blue and Peach Pink colours, which Vivo is referring to as Ice Lake Blue and Pet Powder (Google translated). The pre-bookings for the Vivo S1 will open April 1 while the actual sales will begin at 10:00am CST (7:30am IST) on April 3.
