New Delhi: Vivo launched the Vivo S16 series in China on Thursday. The series consists of three phones, all of which are classified in the mid-range segment. The phones include Vivo S16, Vivo S16 Pro and Vivo S16e.
The phones run on the latest Android 13 OS out of the box and come with a mix of Snapdragon, Dimensity and Exynos chips.
Vivo S16 Pro
The Vivo S16 and S16 Pro share a similar spec sheet, while the S16e has its own set of features. However, all the phones boast a similar design and get a ring-shaped flagship, which could be useful for those who create short videos or content in general.
