Vivo has started accept pre-book for the lineup via the official website in China. Customers who pre-book the phones will get a chance to avail unspecified benefits worth CNY 278 (approximately Rs. 3,000). This offer will be limited to 2,500 customers, according to the company. Those who pre-order can enjoy the Vivo 44W charger and one-year extended warranty. Buyers will also have the option to receive Vivo TWS 4 earbuds, Vivo Pad 3 or credit points.
The brand has released the first teaser image of the Vivo S20 series, revealing the rear design of the handsets. They appear to have a vertically aligned rear camera layout surrounded by a ring flash. One model has a glossy finish around the camera body.
Separately, there has been a Vivo handset spotted on the Geekbench benchmarking website with the model number V2429A. The listing, believed to be that of the vanilla Vivo S20, suggests that it may run Android 15. It shows 1,223 points on single-core testing and 3,422 points on multi-core testing. According to the listing, the device has 14.90 GB of RAM, which means it could debut with 16 GB of storage.
According to the listing, an octa-core chipset codenamed ‘crow’ with a base frequency of 1.80 GHz will power the Vivo V2429A. It shows a top-notch CPU core with a maximum clock speed of 2.63 GHz. These CPU speeds and codename appear to be related to the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 SoC. The Vivo S19 also has the same chipset under the hood.
According to previous leaks, the Vivo S20 Pro will run on a MediaTek Dimensity 9300 SoC. It could boast a 6.67-inch display with a 1.5K resolution (1,260×2,800 pixels) and a 50-megapixel selfie camera. It is planned to feature a triple rear camera setup consisting of a 50-megapixel Sony IMX921 main camera, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensor and a 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 periscope telephoto sensor with 3x optical zoom. Vivo is expected to pack a 5,500mAh battery in the Pro model with 90W charging support.
