The upcoming Vivo S20 is shaping up to be an impressive mid-range offering, combining a sleek design with powerful internals according to recent leaks.
Key highlights from the leaked specifications include:
- Massive 6,500 mAh battery in a slim 7.19mm body
- 6.67-inch 1260x2800 AMOLED display
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor
- 50MP main camera + 8MP secondary rear camera
- 50MP front-facing selfie camera
- Up to 1TB of storage
Perhaps most impressive is Vivo's engineering feat of fitting such a large battery into a device that's both thinner and lighter than its predecessor. At just 7.19mm thick and weighing 185.5g, the S20 manages to pack in a 6,500 mAh battery - 500 mAh larger than the S19 while shedding about 7.5g of weight.
The Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset positions the S20 firmly in the upper mid-range segment, offering solid performance for everyday tasks and moderate gaming. While not Qualcomm's top-tier offering, it should provide a good balance of power and efficiency.
Camera specs appear largely unchanged from the S19, maintaining a 50MP main shooter and 50MP selfie camera. This suggests Vivo may be focusing its upgrades on other areas for this iteration.
With storage options ranging up to 1TB, the S20 looks to cater to users with large media libraries or those who prefer to keep their entire digital life on-device.
The Vivo S20's appearance on certification websites hints at an imminent launch, potentially before the end of 2024. This quick turnaround - with the S19 launching just months ago - points to Vivo adopting a more aggressive update cycle for its S series.
While pricing details remain unknown, the S20 is poised to offer a compelling package for those seeking a slim device with long battery life in the competitive mid-range smartphone market.
