Vivo S17 Pro to come with 12MP portait camera

The vivo S17 Pro will have a triple camera, revealed Digital Chat Station. This is not surprising by itself, but the leakster revealed all three shooters will be usable, unlike previous vivo S smartphones that came with a 2MP depth sensor that barely contributed to imaging.

The new smartphone will have a 50MP main camera with OIS and Sony IMX766V sensor behind. The ultrawide-angle shooter will have an 8MP sensor, while the third camera will be a 12 MP portrait camera (so likely 2x telephoto) with a Sony IMX663 sensor behind. That’s the very same sensor sitting behind the periscope lens on the Sony Xperia 1 III.

The camera of the vivo S17 Pro is likely to have a more basic 2x zoom instead of a fancy 5x, but that is still a massive improvement over the previous generation. Traditionally, vivo relaunches the S phones as V series outside the domestic market, meaning we may see a vivo V29 Pro internationally with the same camera setup.
