Vivo has launched its latest smartphones in the S17 series the Vivo S17, Vivo S17 Pro, and Vivo S17t in China, as they promised. The vivo S17 series features a 6.78-inch FHD+ 60° curved AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, HDR10+ supports, and an In-display fingerprint sensor. The vivo S17 Pro runs on the Dimensity 8200 Soc, vivo S17 has Snapdragon 778G, and vivo S17t has Dimensity 8050 processor with up to 12GB RAM, up to 512GB storage and is based on Android 13 with OriginOS 3.
Vivo S17 series has a 50MP primary rear camera with IMX766V sensor (S17 Pro) along with an 8MP ultra-wide sensor, and 12MP 2x telephoto portrait camera only in S17 Pro, also comes with a ring LED, which it calls Aura light. These phones have a 50MP autofocus front-facing punch-hole camera with dual soft LED flash, and 0.8x and 2x zoom options. All phones are powered by a 4600mAh battery that supports 80W fast charging.
The Mountain and Sea Green color variants use the industry’s first “particle ink” technology to ingeniously combine classical painting with modern technology and vividly interpret new oriental aesthetics, as per the company. The back panel has 15 million star-like particles flowing on the back of the phone in one go, presenting a three-dimensional dynamic beauty full of vitality. At the same time, it also carries the beautiful expectations of young people to grow up wantonly and go to the mountains and seas, said the company.
The company also added that the diameter of the soft light ring has increased by more than 20%, and the size is almost a small ring, which is 9 times the light-emitting area of ordinary mobile phone flashes
