Vivo has officially introduced the S17e model, making a big surprise
In a surprising turn of events, Chinese smartphone giant Vivo has unveiled the first member of its new S17 series, the S17e, ahead of its usual full-series launch.
In a move that caught the tech world off guard, Chinese smartphone manufacturer Vivo recently revealed the first device in its S17 series, the S17e. This unveiling was unexpected as Vivo typically introduces the whole S-series together in its home market. That being said, let's dive into the features and specifications of this new mid-tier smartphone.
The Vivo S17e succeeds the S16e and bears several resemblances to the Vivo V27. The smartphone is furnished with a 6.78-inch FHD+ 120Hz 3D curved AMOLED display with a 60° viewing angle. The heart of the device is a MediaTek Dimensity 7200 SoC, powered by a 4600mAh battery that supports 66W fast charging.
The rear of the Vivo S17e houses a dual camera setup, featuring a 64MP primary sensor with OIS and a 2MP secondary sensor. The unique ring LED, which Vivo calls the Aura light, adds an interesting touch. For selfie enthusiasts and video callers, the device sports a 16MP front-facing camera.
