Vivo S10 series launched with Dimensity 1100 and a color-changing back

Vivo has launched two new mid-range devices in China under the "S" lineup. The new S10 series offers impressive specs inside and a beautifully crafted body. In this article, we will be talking about the key features of the Vivo S10 and S10 Pro, along with their expected price in Nepal.

Vivo S10 and S10 Pro Overview:

Design and Display

Here, the Vivo S10 and S10 Pro are similar in a lot of aspects, including their design and display. Both come with a 6.44" flat Super AMOLED panel which supports a 90Hz refresh rate. Vivo S10 series has a bathtub-like notch which is quite rare in Android phones these days. There is an optical fingerprint scanner underneath the screen. The thickness and weight of these phones vary according to the color variant. The gradient version is the heaviest and the thickest at 175 grams and 7.43mm, respectively. Vivo has used a photochromic material for the back. Thus, these phones will reflect differently depending on how light strikes their surface.

Performance and Memory

Under the hood, Vivo S10 and S10 Pro pack MediaTek's Dimensity 1100 SoC. It's a high-end chipset based on TSMC's 6nm process. It features four Cortex-A78 and four Cortex-A55 CPU cores. For 5G, it integrates the Helio M70 modem (only sub-6GHz). Memory-wise, you can choose from 8/12GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128/256GB of UFS 3.1 storage here.

Camera

Here, the S10 Pro differs from the vanilla model in one major way, which is the 108MP ISOCELL HM2 camera. This 1/1.52" sensor uses nona-binning to capture 12MP native shots. On the other hand, the standard Vivo S10 features a 64MP primary shooter instead. Other than this, both phones share an 8MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro sensor. Upfront, the S10 series has a dual-camera setup with a 44MP main selfie camera. Accompanying it is an 8MP ultrawide sensor. The front cameras are equipped with a dual-LED flash as well.

Rest of the specs

Vivo S10 and S10 Pro are powered by a 4,050mAh battery each, with support for 44W fast charging. The phones run on OriginOS based on Android 11. You can choose between four color options: Gradient, Lime, Velvet White, and Fluorite Black.
