Vivo plans to introduce a new smartphone to the Indian market, whose main feature, according to reports, will not be the camera or processor, but a 10,000 mAh battery. Leaks regarding the design, specifications, and price of the new Vivo S2 FE have emerged before the official sales launch. If these rumors are confirmed, the device may particularly interest users who dislike charging their phones frequently.
It is interesting that information about the Vivo S2 FE appeared at a time when the company is strengthening its S series in India. Vivo previously released the S2 model in August, and now it is preparing to present the S2 FE as a more affordable option in this series.
Price at 39,999 rupees, actual cost may be lower
According to leaks, the Vivo S2 FE model with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage will cost 39,999 rupees at retail. This means the phone will fall into the under 40,000 rupee price segment, although the price listed on the box does not necessarily reflect the actual selling price. The company will provide full information on pricing and promotions during the launch.
Could the 10,000 mAh battery become the main sales advantage?
The most significant news about the Vivo S2 FE is its 10,000 mAh battery. According to leaks, the phone may support 44W fast charging. If this information proves true, this device could become the highest capacity in Vivo's portfolio for India. This would benefit those who watch a lot of videos, play games, use social media, or use their phone throughout the day. However, one cannot judge the real battery life solely by the battery capacity; the processor, display, software, and usage method also play a significant role.
Nevertheless, the 10,000 mAh battery could set this phone apart in the market, especially against the backdrop of the rapid growth of models with batteries around 7,000 mAh.
Will there also be a 120Hz AMOLED display?
Leaks suggest that the Vivo S2 FE will be equipped with a 6.83-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution. It is also reported to support a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of up to 2,000 nits. If these specifications are confirmed, the phone's focus will not only be on the large battery; the large AMOLED screen and 120Hz refresh rate will contribute to an improved experience when watching videos, gaming, and daily use.
Discussion of the Dimensity 7300e chipset
To ensure performance in the Vivo S2 FE, the use of the MediaTek Dimensity 7300e chipset is being considered. The phone was spotted on Geekbench under the model number V2640, and the list included a model with 6 GB of RAM. According to reports, the phone may run on Android 16 and OriginOS 6. The base version is presented with 128 GB of storage, although there is no official information yet about the release of other RAM and storage configurations.
What will the camera look like?
Regarding the cameras, leaks indicate the presence of a 50 MP main rear sensor and a 32 MP front selfie camera. Some reports also mention an additional 2-megapixel sensor on the back. Thus, Vivo seems to be aiming to create not just a smartphone with a large battery, but a balanced device in terms of display, camera, and performance.
Information was also provided that the launch of the Vivo V80 in India is scheduled for October 6th at 12:00 PM. The company officially announced this. Regarding the Vivo V80, the company emphasizes features such as a 7,200 mAh battery, a 1.5K OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, and a ZEISS camera system.
