Vivo unveiled a trio of smartphones from the S16 series in China today. This news is about the older brothers Vivo S16 and Vivo S16 Pro. About the younger model Vivo S16e (it is more compact and weaker) you can read here.

Vivo S16

Chipsets. The S16 is equipped with the well-known Snapdragon 870 chip. We are waiting in AnTuTu in the region of 700 thousand pointsfishing But the S16 Pro uses a brand new MediaTek Dimensity 8200 chip. There are no statistics on it yet. But, by analogy with similar chipsets, we are waiting for 800 thousand points in AnTuTu. Those. both smartphones are cheerful and cheerful, but the power, by modern standards, is still a little bit, but not the flagship.

The RAM is 8 or 12 GB for both smartphones. Permanent - from 128 to 512 GB for S16 and from 256 to 512 GB for firmware. No memory card support.

The screens are disappointing because of their strong roundness, but otherwise they are good. 6.78" (111 cm²) AMOLED panels. Standard HD 1080x2400 (388 ppi). Refresh rate - up to 120 Hz.

The batteries have a capacity of 4600 mAh. Charging is fast - 66 W.

Front cameras are promising. Resolution as much as 50 MP. There is autofocus and even a flash.

There are three rear cameras - 64+8+2 MP for S16 and 50+8+2 MP for S16 Pro. The first cameras are equipped with optical stabilization. The second and third cameras are wide-angle and macro, nothing interesting here.

Which sensor is used in the main camera of Vivo S16 is not specified. But about the "firmware" it is known that they put in it a popular and quite serious sensor Sony IMX766V.

Other. Of course, there is support for 5G networks. There are NFC modules, Type-C, the sixth Wi-Fi. Fingerprint scanners are located under the screens.

About "our" LTE bands. Vivo S16 Pro has a seventh range, but no twentieth. Vivo S16 has neither.
