Vivo S20 series arriving this month with increased battery capacity

The vivo S20 lineup is expected to arrive later this month. According to a credible leak, the series will bring S20 and S20 Pro, and at least one of the phones will get a massive 6,500 mAh battery.

The phones are likely to inherit the ultra-thin body (under 8 mm) from the S19 series, which would be an amazing achievement, given the increased cell capacity.

The S series is vivo's midrange lineup for the Chinese market, and it eventually goes global as vivo V series with some minor specs changes. This means that while looking at the vivo S20 and S20 Pro, we can see what to expect from the vivo V50 and V50 Pro once they go official in a couple of months.

Getting back to the leak, both devices will likely have an AMOLED screen with a 1260p resolution. The S20 seems to keep the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, while vivo will upgrade the S20 Pro to Dimensity 9300. We have seen a third, even cheaper variant before, but it seems like there is no vivo S20e in the works for now.
