vivo sets S30 launch date, reveals phone design

The vivo S30 and vivo S30 Pro mini are officially arriving on May 29, the company revealed today. The phones are already up for registration on multiple online retailers in China, and the listings include some official photos of the phones.

The event, scheduled for 10 days from now, will also see the introduction of vivo Pad 5 tablet, vivo TWS Air3 earbuds, and a new 10,000 mAh powerbank with 33W output.

The phones are fairly similar in design, with two shooters, positioned one above another, and a third camera on the side, sitting above a ring LED flash. At the front, both will have a flat panel with a single punch hole for the selfie camera.

Both the vivo S30 and vivo S30 Pro mini will be available in four colors: Black, Mint Green (which looks Blue from the renders), Powder Pink, and Lemon Yellow.

Three of the four color options will have a black camera island, while the pink version will have the island match the back.

The vivo S series is usually only for China. Later, the devices are relaunched globally as vivo V phones, meaning we are likely looking at the future vivo V60.

The S30 (or V60) could launch with a 6.67" screen, a 50 MP telephoto camera and a 6,500 mAh battery, while the S30 Pro mini (or V60 Pro) might arrive with a premium Dimensity 9400e chipset.
