Vivo is reportedly working on the S17 series of smartphones for the Chinese market. Reports have claimed that the S17 lineup will take on the Honor 90 series and Oppo Reno 10 series of smartphones in the home market. These Vivo, Honor, and Oppo are expected to launch in May and be available for purchase during China’s 618 shopping festival in June. Hence, the rumor mill has started leaking key information about these smartphones. In a new Weibo post (via. TechGoing), tipster Digital Chat Station revealed the key specifications of the Vivo S17 and S17 Pro.
Previous reports have revealed that the
Vivo S17 line will have three models, such as the Vivo S17e (V2285A), Vivo S17
(V2283A), and Vivo S17 Pro (V2284A). At present, there is no information on the
chipset that powers the S17e model. In the latest, tipster DCS revealed that
the Vivo S17 will have the Snapdragon SM7325, which appears to be the
Snapdragon 778G or Snapdragon 782G chipset.
The Vivo S17 Pro, on the other hand, will
have the Dimensity 8200 chipset. To recall, the Vivo S16 and S16 Pro were
equipped with the Snapdragon 870 and Dimensity 8200 chipsets, respectively.
DCS further said that the Vivo S17 and S17
Pro will feature a BOE-supplied OLED display that offers a 1.5K resolution.
However, he did not reveal the screen size. Previous reports have claimed that
the displays of the S17 series will have curved edges. The rear camera setup of
the Vivo S17 and S17 Pro will have a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766V primary camera,
which is said to support optical image stabilization (OIS). A 12-megapixel
IMX663 telephoto camera will be present in addition to it. There is no
information on the other cameras that will be a part of the Vivo S17 series’
rear panel.
Lastly, the leak reveals that the Vivo S17
series will support 80W fast charging. However, the tipster did not mention
anything about the battery size of the S17 duo.
