Vivo S50t 5G – Key Features
The Vivo S50t 5G features a 6.59-inch AMOLED flat display with a 1.5K resolution of 2750 x 1260 pixels. It supports both 60Hz and 120Hz refresh rates alongwith multiple touch sampling rates including 130Hz for regular usage, 300Hz for gaming and up to 2000Hz instantaneous touch sampling rate. The display also supports HDR and P3 wide colour gamut for enhanced visuals.
In terms of design, the Confession and Serene Blue colour variants measure 7.59mm in thickness, while the Space Black and Inspiration Purple variants are slightly slimmer at 7.49mm. The device weighs approximately 196g or 197g depending on the colour option.
The smartphone packs Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset and runs on OriginOS 6 based on Android 16.
While the standard S50 uses a different storage type, the S50t switches to UFS 3.1-based internal storage paired with the same LPDDR5X quad-channel RAM. This is one of the main differences between the two devices.
For photography, the Vivo S50t 5G is equipped with a triple rear camera setup that includes a 50MP primary sensor with f/1.88 aperture, OIS and autofocus, an 8MP ultra-wide camera with f/2.2 aperture and autofocus, and a 50MP periscope telephoto lens with f/2.65 aperture, OIS, and autofocus. On the front, the device features a 50MP selfie camera while both the front and rear camera systems come with dedicated flash units.
The smartphone packs a 6500mAh battery with support for 90W fast wired charging and OTG reverse wired charging. However, similar to the Vivo S50, it does not include wireless charging support.
Other features include a 3D ultrasonic single-point fingerprint scanner, dual SIM support, Wi-Fi 6, NFC, Bluetooth 5.4, a USB Type-C port, gravity sensor, photosensitive sensor, proximity sensor, gyroscope, electronic compass, infrared remote control, flicker sensor, and an X-axis linear motor.
