With the launch of the V17 Pro, as well as its flagship, the NEX 3, it seems that Vivo isn’t ready to end 2019 just yet, as far as new products are concerned.
Teased on its social media page, the brand unveiled that the more powerful variant of the Vivo S1, the S1 Pro, is set to arrive in the Philippines on November 20, 2019.
Vivo S1 Pro’s new design uses a diamond module for its four rear cameras. It has a 6.38-inch Super AMOLED display, and packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665, backed by 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.
For optics, it uses a quad-camera system composed of a 48MP main sensor, an 8MP wide-angle shooter, and a pair of 2MP sensors for macro and depth sensing. Up front is a 32MP snapper.
Vivo S1 Pro runs on Funtouch OS 9.2 on top of Android Pie, and houses a 4,500mAh battery. As expected, it’s equipped with an in-display fingerprint scanner.
There’s no word on pricing just yet, but do remember that the S1 recently got a price cut, which may point to a hint.
