vivo took the wraps off its
latest smartphone S1. It's a midranger with design similar to the V15 that
debuted earlier this month. The vivo S1 comes packed with almost identical hardware too. The S1
is built around a 6.53-inch Full-HD+ notchless display that has an aspect ratio
of 19.5:9 and a Helio P70 SoC mated to 6GB RAM.
It boots Android Pie-based Funtouch OS 9
out-of-the-box and has 128GB of storage in tow with the option to expand it
further via a microSD card. The S1 features a 24.8MP pop-up selfie camera and boasts a triple
camera setup at the back consisting of 12MP, 8MP (wide-angle), and 5MP (depth
sensor) modules.
The vivo S1 comes with the company's Jovi AI-based
voice assistant which can be summoned by pressing the dedicated button located
on the left side. The smartphone also has Game Turbo mode up its sleeve for a
better gaming experience.
Lastly, the vivo S1 is offered in Ice Lake Blue and
Pet Pink colors, has a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, and packs a 3,940 mAh
battery with 18W fast charging support. It is priced at CNY2,298 (US$ 342)
and will go on sale in China from April 1.
