Aura Light-enhanced mobile photography is making a return in the new S20 series. It’s clear that this generation features a larger signature ring-flash compared to its predecessors.
The camera design still resembles the bottom halves of the S19 and S19 Pro, but the S20 offers the sleekest look yet, sporting only 2 lenses on the back instead of 3 like its earlier models.
Camera Design Differences
On the other hand, the S20 Pro, which comes with a Q10 OLED display, has a slightly busier aesthetic due to an additional camera cut-out positioned to one side. However, fans might appreciate this change, as it likely includes the much-anticipated upgraded periscope zoom lens as rumored.
To balance things out, the S20 features a beautifully designed Gold Phoenix Feather rear glass panel, complemented by a shiny flat frame that shares its color.
Battery Innovations
Even though it’s just 7.19mm thick, the standard model is set to introduce a new, larger "semi-solid-state" battery to the series, according to Vivo. Meanwhile, the Pro model seems to remain largely similar to its predecessor, known globally as the V40 Pro.
All these features are highlighted in the series' first official promotional materials. Shared by Vivo executive Jia Jingdong on Weibo, the promos depict the smartphones as champions of mobile portrait photography, moving away from outdated image-processing techniques like skin-smoothing to focus on embracing "natural beauty."
Endorsements and Launch
The S20 and S20 Pro have also secured a partnership with Olympic gold medalist tennis player Qinwen Zheng as their brand ambassador. However, the official launch date for the Chinese market is still unknown. It is anticipated that they will be released globally as the V50 and V50 Pro afterward.
