vivo has introduced the S30 and S30 Pro mini in China with chic designs and a camera layout that looks a lot like the new iPhone 16.
The vivo S30 Pro mini is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 9300 Plus processor, with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. It also has a large 6,500mAh battery with 90W charging, while retaining a sleek design that’s only 7.99mm thick and weighs 186g.
It then has a compact 6.31-inch LTPO AMOLED screen, with a 50-megapixel selfie snapper on the top. A 50-megapixel IMX921 sensor is used for the main camera, joined by a 50-megapixel 3x lens, and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide.
Since it’s coming out of China, it will ship with Android 15-based OriginOS 5. It’s also IP68/69 dust and water-resistant.
The vivo S30 Pro mini retails for CNY3,499 (~Php27,000) for the 12GB/256GB, CNY3,799 (~Php29,400) for the 16GB/256GB, and CNY3,999 (~Php30,900) for the 16GB/512GB.
