vivo S series reportedly making a comeback in India

Vivo’s S-Series is Making a Surprising Comeback in India: Here’s What We Know

Remember the Vivo S1? It feels like ages ago—2019, to be exact—since we last saw a new entry in Vivo’s ‘S’ lineup in India. After a five-year hiatus, it looks like the brand is finally ready to dust off the series and bring it back into the spotlight. According to recent reports, the comeback kid will be dubbed the Vivo S2, and it’s aiming for a much higher shelf than its predecessor.

Moving Into Premium Territory

Back in the day, the S1 was firmly rooted in the mid-range market. This time around, Vivo seems to be aiming for a different demographic. Rumors suggest the Vivo S2 will land somewhere between ₹45,000 and ₹50,000. That price tag puts it squarely in the premium segment, competing with some heavy hitters in the Indian market.

What to Expect: Style and Substance

While the internal specs are still largely under wraps, we can make some educated guesses based on the series’ history. The ‘S’ in Vivo’s lineup has always stood for style. Expect a phone that’s remarkably thin, lightweight, and focused on a premium hand-feel. Photography will likely be the headline feature here, as Vivo has consistently pushed the envelope with its camera tech lately.

Interestingly, there is some chatter that the Vivo S2 might be a rebranded version of a V-series phone already circulating in other markets. If that’s the case, we might already have a good idea of its hardware—though Vivo usually likes to tweak things for the Indian audience.

Launch Timeline

If you’re looking to upgrade, you won’t have to wait long. The Vivo S2 is reportedly scheduled for a July launch. With the premium pricing, it’ll be interesting to see how it fits alongside the existing V-series and the flagship X-series in Vivo’s current portfolio.
