vivo India has officially launched the vivo S2, marking the return of the vivo S-series to India after nearly 7 years. Positioned in the upper mid-range smartphone segment, the vivo S2 focuses on premium design, imaging, long battery life, and AI-powered software experiences. The smartphone combines a slim curved design with a large 7,050 mAh BlueVolt battery, 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 7360-Turbo SoC, 6.83-inch 1.5K 120 Hz 3D Curved AMOLED display, and a 50 MP Sony IMX852 OIS camera, while also bringing flagship-inspired durability through IP68 + IP69 certification and MIL-STD-810H military-grade durability.
The vivo S2 features a premium curved design with a Skyline Camera Module, Aura Light Portrait system, metallic frame, and matte finish available in Sapphire Blue, Regal Bronze, and Silk White color options. Despite housing a massive battery, the smartphone measures just 7.99 mm thick (8.10 mm for Silk White) and weighs 197 grams (199 grams for Silk White).
The smartphone sports a 6.83-inch (17.35 cm) 3D Curved AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution (2,800 x 1,260 pixels), 120 Hz refresh rate, 449 PPI pixel density, and a 93.82% screen-to-body ratio. The display is certified by SGS for Low Blue Light, Low Flicker, and Five-Star Sunlight Readability, offering improved visibility while reducing eye strain during prolonged usage.
Powering the smartphone is the 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 7360-Turbo octa-core SoC, paired with 8 GB LPDDR5 RAM, up to 8 GB Extended RAM, and up to 256 GB storage. vivo claims an AnTuTu score of around 970,000, while a 3,800 mm² vapor chamber cooling system with a total cooling area exceeding 23,000 mm² helps maintain stable performance during gaming and demanding workloads. The company has also promised 3 Android OS upgrades and 5 years of security updates.
For photography, the vivo S2 features a 50 MP Sony IMX852 primary camera with OIS, paired with a 2 MP bokeh camera, while the front houses a 32 MP selfie camera.

According to vivo, the battery is designed to retain at least 80% capacity after 1,600 charging cycles, translating to approximately 6 years of battery health under typical usage.
