Vivo recently launched the Vivo Z1 Pro in India and priced it quite well. This smartphone managed to fare quite well when we reviewed it. Now, the Chinese manufacturer has launched one more smartphone priced only a little higher, dubbed the Vivo S1. This is a part of the new S series which stands for Style.
The S1 is the first smartphones under the S series from Vivo to launch in India. The S series focuses on style and there is no denying that the S1 does look stylish.
Vivo has put a 6.38-inch AMOLED display on the S1. It has good viewing angles and adequate brightness when outdoors. It also houses an in-display fingerprint scanner. The Vivo S1 has a waterdrop notch that houses the selfie camera.
At the back, the S1 sports a triple camera setup consisting of a 16-megapixel primary sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. We weren’t impressed with the fact that the S1 sports a Micro-USB port while most other smartphones in this price range have a Type-C port.
