Vivo has recently unveiled their X200 series of flagship smartphones, which have received acclaim for their impressive camera capabilities. Now, it seems that the company is gearing up to launch a new device, the details of which indicate it will feature a large battery while maintaining a sleek and lightweight design.
Model Number and Features
The device, identified by the model number V249A, was found in the database of China’s communication agency and is anticipated to be the Vivo S20. The specifications suggest that this device is a high-end mid-range smartphone with a significantly large battery housed within a slim frame.
Display and Performance
The database listings show that the phone will sport a 6.67-inch AMOLED display, boasting a resolution of 2800 x 1260. It will run on a 2.63 GHz processor, which is thought to be the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3. Users can expect multiple RAM options, including 8GB, 12GB, and 16GB, along with storage choices of 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and even 1TB.
Camera Specifications
When it comes to photography, the rear of the device will feature a 50MP main camera and an 8MP ultra-wide camera, while a 50MP sensor will be located at the front for selfies and video conferencing.
Battery and Build
One of the standout features is the battery, which is rated at 6,365mAh (with a typical capacity of 6,500mAh) and fits into a body that is only 7.19 mm thick and weighs 185.5 grams. This impressive feat is quite remarkable for a smartphone, although it's not entirely unexpected from Vivo.
Comparatively, the Vivo S19, launched in May 2024, has a 6,000mAh battery within a similarly thin body, but it weighs more at 193 grams. This achievement was made possible through Vivo's Blue Ocean technology, which enhances battery energy density beyond standard levels. It seems that Vivo has made advancements in battery tech, as the upcoming phone features a larger capacity while maintaining the same thickness as its predecessor.
