Vivo S18, S18e, and S18 Pro are also expected to launch in China in December. Digital Chat Station shared details about the design of the S18 series in a new leak. He also leaked the S18 Pro’s camera specifications.

DCS revealed the above schematic earlier this week to reveal the design of the iQOO Neo 9 and Neo 9 Pro smartphones, which are expected to launch in China in December. Vivo S18, which is also expected in December in China, will have a very similar design, according to the tipster.

A flat display will be featured on the iQOO Neo 9 series, while an OLED screen with curved edges will be featured on the S18 and S18 Pro. Moreover, the S18 series is likely to have a telephoto camera, which isn’t likely to be present in the Neo 9 series.

According to the leak, the Vivo S18 will be powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset, while the Pro variant will be powered by the Dimensity 9200 Plus chipset. With 80W fast charging support, both phones are expected to pack 5,000mAh batteries.

In both phones, the primary camera will be 50 megapixels with optical image stabilization (OIS). It is unclear whether the standard model will have the same primary camera as the Pro model. The Pro model is expected to have a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a telephoto lens.

In addition to 8GB RAM + 256GB storage, the Vivo S18 will offer 12GB RAM + 256GB storage, 12GB RAM + 512GB storage, and 16GB RAM + 512GB storage, according to another leaker.
