Vivo has finally unveiled the S1 in Nepal. The company’s lineup has recently seen launches mostly aimed at users seeking premium mid-rangers. And the Vivo S1 certainly fall under the same category with features like the in-display fingerprint scanner and triple rear cameras.
As far as specs are concerned, the Vivo S1’s shiny back complements its goodly front, thanks to the Super AMOLED display. The 6.38-inch panel offers an FHD+ resolution alongside the perks of having an OLED display; like great color reproduction and deep blacks. The benefit continues underneath the display with an in-display fingerprint scanner.
The big and high-res display might worry you about the phone’s battery consumption but that won’t be the case here as it offers an impressive 4,500mAh battery inside, which also supports 18W fast charging.
Shift the focus to the back and the Vivo S1 continues to impress here as well. A combination of three lens makes it an option for mobile photography. The triple-camera configuration includes a normal 16MP main sensor, an 8MP wide-angle snapper, and a 5MP depth sensor. For selfie fanatics, the S1’s front sees a 32MP selfie shooter cramped inside a tiny notch up top. And there’s Vivo’s own AI thing for beautification.
