The Chinese brand took to Weibo to post a teaser video on the upcoming Vivo S7. It didn't reveal much on the device except the sleek body design of the device. No visible camera bump was seen on the phone, which was shown from its side. The video also announced that the phone will be launched in China on August 3.

Last week, a tipster posted the expected pricing details and specifications on the upcoming phone.

While the former is expected to carry a price tag of CNY 2,998 (roughly Rs. 32,100), the latter may be priced CNY 3,298 (roughly Rs. 35,300). Vivo hasn't officially confirmed any of the pricings or specifications yet.
