The poster also reveals the design of the Vivo S17 / S17 Pro. The back panel of the device has a dual-camera setup followed by a ring-LED flash. While the front of the device has not been revealed, it is rumored to feature a curved-edge AMOLED screen.
According to reports, the Snapdragon 782G and Dimensity 8200 chipsets will power the Vivo S17 and S17 Pro, respectively. The latter will compete with the OPPO Reno 10 Pro and the Xiaomi Civi 3 in the Chinese market.
Both phones are expected to feature a 50-megapixel front-facing camera with autofocus support. The back panel of the vanilla model may feature an OIS-assisted 64-megapixel primary camera, whereas the Pro model could be equipped with an OIS-enabled 50-megapixel main camera. The S17 and S17 Pro are likely to support 66W and 80W charging, respectively. Both phones are likely to house a 4,500mAh battery.
