Top 5 highlights of Vivo S1 Pro

Unique diamond-shaped camera hump

1. Unique design - The Vivo S1 Pro has a glasstic material at the back and polycarbonate frame that gives it a smooth finish. The 3D curved glasstic material used in Knight Black and Fancy Sky colors feel a bit more premium as well.

The diamond-shaped camera bump is one of its main highlights as it sets it apart from the competition as it is unique. It also has IPX2 water splash resistance which is always a welcome addition.

Crisp and punchy display

2. Super AMOLED Display - It has a 6.38-inch 2.5D FHD+ Super AMOLED screen with two layers of screen protection with Schott Xensation UP glass + Corning Gorilla Glass. This is a big deal because most mid-rangers does not have a Super AMOLED screen. It also has a fast In-Display fingerprint reader which is also uncommon in mid-range devices.

3. Large RAM and storage - Vivo S1 Pro is a mid-ranger packed with a large 8GB LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB storage. The large RAM is to ensure that the phone will perform smoothly always and the big storage will allow users to install a lot of apps, games, photos, videos, and other files. The 128GB storage is even expandable with a microSD card.

The chipset that it is using is the 11nm Snapdragon 665 clocked at 2.0GHz. So, even if that chip is isn't the fastest around, the large RAM and storage made up for it.

4. Big battery, fast charging - The Vivo S1 Pro has a huge 4,500mAh which is more than enough for your daily tasks and gaming needs. To give you a context, the Huawei Mate 30 Pro also has a 4,500mAh battery and that is a flagship device. It also has an 18W Dual Engine USB-C fast charging technology.
