It was recently reported that Vivo’s S-series smartphones could soon make a return to the Indian market after a long absence. Keeping up with that rumour, the upcoming Vivo S2 has now been spotted on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification website. This not only finally confirms the smartphone but also indicates that the company is preparing to launch the device in India as well. Here’s more on what we know so far.
Vivo S2 India Launch Could Happen Soon
According to a recent 91Mobiles report, the BIS listing reveals the model number V2576 but does not disclose any hardware specifications or features. Even so, certification approvals are generally considered a strong sign that a launch is approaching.
Industry sources had previously indicated that Vivo is aiming to introduce the Vivo S2 in India sometime in July. The appearance of the device on the BIS database appears to support that timeline. The same model number was also reportedly spotted earlier in the GSMA database suggesting that Vivo has already begun securing regulatory approvals for the smartphone.
The latest certification marks the first official indication of the smartphone’s arrival and comes shortly after reports suggested that Vivo was planning to revive the S-series lineup in the country nearly seven years after its last launch.
The Vivo S-series was last represented in India by the Vivo S1 in 2019 in below Rs 20,000 price segment. However, the upcoming Vivo S2 appears to be targeting a very different segment of the market.
Vivo S2 – What To Expect?
According to information previously shared by industry sources, the Vivo S2 could be priced between Rs 45,000 and Rs 50,000 in the Indian market.
If the reported pricing proves accurate, the Vivo S2 would represent a significant shift for the S-series. Instead of targeting the budget segment like the Vivo S1, the new model would enter the sub-flagship category.
Vivo currently has Vivo V70 already in the same category with premium compact design and Zeiss-backed camera capabilities. This could mean the brand may need to introduce unique features to help the S2 stand out within its own portfolio.
At present, the specifications of the Vivo S2 remain under wraps. However, more details are likely to emerge through other certifications, leaks, or official teasers in the coming weeks. With the BIS certification now in place, the Vivo S2 appears to be one step closer to its India launch. This means an official announcement may not be too far away.
