Vivo had one of its greatest releases in the month of April. After the launch of the Vivo X Fold2, Vivo Pad 2, and the all-new Vivo X Flip, the brands are preparing updates for the mid-range market. Today, a new Vivo S-series phone was spotted on the 3C certification.
The device in question passed China’s Compulsory Certification with model number v2285a. As per the Tipster Digital Chat Station, the phone in question is the Vivo S17e and has 80W charging. In related news, the iQOO Neo 8 (v2301a) and 8 Pro (v2302a) have also passed by the 3C regulator with 80W fast charging.
Vivo is reportedly in the works to launch its Vivo S17 series of smartphones soon in China. The lineup, likely including the Vivo S17, Vivo S17e, and Vivo S17 Pro devices will launch in India as well, albeit with a different naming scheme.
As for now, the Vivo S17e has been spotted on the Chinese 3C certification authority website, which reveals its fast charging support, and the Google Play Supported Devices list, which maps its moniker with its model number. Let’s take a look.
Vivo S17e, S17, and S17 Pro Alleged Specs
The tipster Digital Chat Station revealed that the Vivo S17 and S17 Pro will pack the BOE OLED displays with a 1.5K resolution. The Vivo S17 series will feature curved displays, and we expect the Vivo S17e to also keep this form factor. It seems that all three phones will pack the same 80W charging.
To recall, this used to be Vivo’s most cutting-edge charging tech. However, with the rise of the 120W charging on flagships, the company is moving the tech to devices that are lower in the hierarchy. Anyway, don’t confuse the Vivo S-series as standard mid-range phones, they are more likely touted as “premium mid-range” phones.
The Vivo S17 and S17 Pro will bring 50 MP Sony IMX766 main cameras with OIS, and will also include a 12 MP portrait telephoto camera. We believe that the Vivo S17e will have a simpler setup with the ultrawide and macro shooter. The Vivo S17e will bring the MediaTek Dimensity 7200 which is a really impressive chipset for the mid-range market.
It boasts a 4nm manufacturing and has ARMv9 cores. The higher models probably will bring Dimensity 8000 series chips or any Snapdragon counterpart.
Vivo S17e fast charging, moniker confirmed via a couple of certifications
As seen in the 3C certification listing screenshot above, the Vivo S17 (with the model number Vivo V2285A will feature up to 80W fast charging (20V|4A Max).
Though the certification listing does not explicitly mention the moniker of the device, we can still see its model number listed, which we have mapped with the Vivo S17e name via the Google Play Supported Devices listing.
As for the Google listing, the V2285A model number clearly belongs to the Vivo S17e, thereby clearing all potential doubts.
The same model number was earlier believed to belong to the Vivo S17 Pro, and had already been spotted on the Geekbench database website. As per the Geekbench listing, the Vivo S17e will feature a MediaTek Dimensity 7200 processor, at least 8GB RAM, and Android 13 OS out of the box.
