Announcement. Vivo S16e is a fast mid-range smartphone

Vivo today introduced a trio of smartphones from the S16 series in China. This news is about the younger model, about the Vivo S16e. You can read about the older brothers Vivo S16 and Vivo S16 Pro here.

The guys from Vivo suddenly remembered aboutthe existence of the 2020 Exynos 1080 chipset. Curious iron. Formally, if Exynos means Samsung. But other manufacturers except Vivo have never used this chip. For its time, the chipset could generally be considered a flagship. For 600 thousand points in AnTuTu. Those. performance is more than decent even by today's standards.

Memory. 8 or 12 GB operational, 128 or 256 GB permanent. Support for memory cards, apparently, no.

The screen is smaller than the older brothers. AMOLED, diagonal 6.62″ (106 cm²). Standard good resolution is 1080×2400 (398 ppi). The refresh rate is up to 120 Hz.

The battery is the same capacity as the relatives, 4600 mAh. Charging is fast - 66 watts.

The front camera is unremarkable. 16 megapixels.

The set of rear cameras is also quite trivial -50 + 2 + 2 MP - but the main camera is equipped with optical stabilization. Judging by the fact that the name of the sensor of the main camera is not named, there is no reason to hope for something decent ... But you can enjoy a beautiful ring flash.

Other. There is support for 5G networks, there is an NFC module, Type-C and a sixth Wi-Fi. The fingerprint scanner is hidden under the screen.

LTE frequencies are categorically not for you and me. There is no seventh or twentieth range.

Vivo S16e will cost ¥2099 (₽21200, $300), ¥2299 (₽23200, $329) and ¥2499 (₽25200, $357) at the start of sales for the 8+128, 8+256 and 12+256 GB versions, respectively.
