The Vivo S50 and S50 Pro Mini smartphones are expected to be unveiled in China in November. The S50 Pro Mini was rumoured to feature the Dimensity 9400 Plus chipset. In a new leak, a reliable source indicates that the upcoming compact flagship will be powered by the Snapdragon 8-series chipset, along with several other details.
The Vivo S50 Pro Mini is expected to feature a 6.3-inch flat display, continuing the compact design language of the S30 Pro Mini. According to reports, the screen will have 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.
New leaks claim the phone will use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset instead of the Dimensity 9400 Plus. It is based on a 3nm process, features a 3.8GHz prime core, 3.32GHz performance core, and a next-generation Adreno GPU, although Qualcomm has not officially launched it.
OnePlus Ace 6 Turbo will be the first Chinese smartphone to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, suggesting the S50 Pro Mini may launch soon after.
According to a leak, the Vivo X300 has a 6,040mAh battery, while the S50 Pro Mini has a 7,168mAh battery. It is expected to feature a triple-camera setup with a periscope telephoto lens. Additionally, earlier leaks indicated a 50-megapixel selfie camera.
According to rumours, the Vivo X300 FE may be a rebranded version of the China-exclusive Vivo S50 Pro Mini. A global variant is expected to debut in the first quarter of 2026, according to early reports.
