The vivo S17 line-up is expected to be announced before the month ends. However, someone has already pulled the trigger and listed the vivo S17e on the company’s official website.
This one is pretty interesting. While it has a parade of flagship-like features, the vivo S17e only comes with a midrange MediaTek Dimensity 7200 processor. Buyers can pair it with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of expandable storage.

Everything else looks fancy, it even has a similarly sleek design that the V27 5G has. From the curved display, thin profile, and the ring flash on the back.
Speaking of the display, what we have here is a 6.78-inch AMOLED screen with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and 10-bit color.

It then has a 4,600mAh battery with ultra-fast 66W charging. Being launched in China, it will ship with Android 13-based OriginOS 3.0.
On the back, we have a sharp 64-megapixel main camera, a 2-megapixel depth sensor, and a 16-megapixel on the front. No ultra-wide or telephoto, though.

The vivo S17e is now listed in China for a price of CNY2,099 (~Php16,600), CNY2,299 (~Php18,200), and CNY2,499 (~Php19,800) for the 8GB/128GB, 8GB/256GB, and 12GB/256GB versions, respectively.
