Vivo S1 Pro debuted in China back in May this year. Now, rumour has it that the smartphone might launch in India in mid-January next year. As per the China specifications, the highlight of this smartphone is its triple camera setup at the back and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 chipset.
As per a report by 91Mobiles, the Vivo S1 Pro is likely to launch in mid-January 2020 in India. Another report claims that the smartphone might sport a 6.38-inch Full-HD+ hole-punch display. The report further reveals that the Vivo S1 Pro is expected to sport a diamond-shaped rear camera setup – just like we saw in the Vivo S5.
Although, the Chinese variant of Vivo S1 Pro does not come with a diamond-shaped camera module.
