Announced last month, Vivo S1 is a mid-range phone that comes in Diamond Black and Skyline Blue colors. It’s also a 6.38″ device with FHD Super AMOLED panel for perfect contrast ratio and rich colors. With no capacitive scanner to use, options for unlocking the device are face unlock and in-screen biometric.
Camera-wise, it has a massive 32MP AI selfie camera. While selfies will surely look crisp, the main cameras are not to be forgotten. The main sensor makes use of a 16MP sensor, with 8MP ultrawide and 2MP depth sensors. There’s also a large 4500mAH battery inside the device. As for memory, you have 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage to use.
