Vivo’s S series is about to get bigger. The Chinese handset maker is about to launch an S19 sequel, at least according to a telecom equipment certification entity. Typically focusing on camera features, Vivo’s S series is just one step behind the company’s flagships, which is why we’re expecting the S20 to be a pretty interesting device.Although it comes with a very large battery, the S20 seems to be lighter than the S19 which has a smaller one: 185.5 grams vs. 193 grams. It’s also just as sleek as the S19 at only 7.19 mm thickness.
The listing also reveals that the upcoming Vivo S20 will be equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset, a traditional mid-end processor that’s not the best nor the worst available on the market.
As far as the display is concerned, the S20 promises to offer a large 6.67-inch AMOLED screen with 1.5K resolution. In comparison, Vivo S19 has a bigger 6.78-inch display with similar specs.

The juiciest part of the report is the fact that the Vivo S20 boasts a big 50-megapixel main camera, complemented by a secondary 8-megapixel sensor, and a 50-megapixel selfie snapper in the front.
Since the phone has already been spotted on a certification website, it’s likely that Vivo will make the S20 official by the end of the year. This is rather surprising considering that the S19 has only been available on the market for less than six months.
