Gadgets|February 2020
As we welcome a new decade, the hype for quad cameras continues to grow. Vivo has been at the forefront of innovating smartphone features, beginning the craze for in-display fingerprint scanners and picture-perfect front cameras. Gearing up its mid-range smartphones, the brand does an upgrade to the S-series, beefing up its hardware.

DESIGN

Compared to its predecessor, the Vivo S1 Pro certainly looks more eye-catching. Its back panel, inspired by fine jewelry, is made from glass and features a diamond-shaped quad camera. It is available in two colors: knight black and fancy sky, with the former as our review unit. There’s a reflective silver Vivo logo, as well as the words camera and music, underneath its camera module. It is matched with a matte metal side frame where the power button, volume rocker, and the hybrid sim tray are located. Up front, the Vivo S1 Pro showcases a display with a waterdrop notch which houses its front camera. The microphone and the 3.5 mm audio jack can be found at the top of the smartphone while the main microphone, USB-C port, and single downward-firing speakers are conveniently placed at the bottom.

HARDWARE

One of the highlights of the Vivo S1 Pro is the 6.38-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display which is also present in the Vivo S1. It has a 32-megapixel front camera that captures natural-looking selfies. On its diamond-shaped rear camera module are three lenses: an 8 MP primary, an 8 MP ultrawide, 2 MP depth sensor, and a 2 MP macro. Powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 chipset, it runs on Vivo’s Funtouch OS 9.2, the brand’s own dedicated software based on Android 9 out of the box. Among the upgrades that the S1 Pro offers are its internal storage and RAM, at 128 GB and 8 GB respectively. It now also boasts a USB-C port that supports 18 W Dual Engine Fast Charging technology, filling its 4500 mAh battery within just an hour.
