Vivo S2 enters the mid-range market with unusual design and a 7,050 mAh battery

After seven years, the Vivo S1 is getting a successor. With an unusual design, a 7,050 mAh battery, and a 3,000-nit AMOLED display, the Vivo S2 aims to set itself apart from the competition’s mid-range smartphones. 4 Reviews ← exclude selected types ← exclude selected tagsThe Vivo S2 defies the current trend toward flat displays, bezels, and backs, as Vivo rounds both the display and the back toward the left and right sides, resulting in an exceptionally thin bezel. The pill-shaped camera module is somewhat reminiscent of the Apple iPhone Air ($769 on Amazon) and houses a 50-megapixel main camera and a useless 2-megapixel sensor.

The Vivo S2 defies the current trend toward flat displays, bezels, and backs, as Vivo rounds both the display and the back toward the left and right sides, resulting in an exceptionally thin bezel. The housing is IP69-certified and therefore waterproof.

The pill-shaped camera module is somewhat reminiscent of the Apple iPhone Air ($769 on Amazon) and houses a 50-megapixel main camera and a useless 2-megapixel sensor. The 32-megapixel selfie camera is located in a centrally positioned punch-hole. The rounded 6.83-inch display is based on an AMOLED panel that offers a resolution of 2,800 x 1,260 pixels, a refresh rate of 120 Hz, and a peak HDR brightness of 3,000 nits. The fingerprint sensor is invisibly integrated into the display.
