Vivo S1 Pro India Launch on January 4, Amazon Teasing Availability

Vivo S1 Pro is all set to launch in India on January 4, Vivo revealed this on its social media profile on Friday. Separately, Amazon India published a teaser for the smartphone on its website, indicating that it would be one of the e-retailers to carry the phone. The global variant of the smartphone was launched in the Philippines last month, and now this phone will arrive in India soon. Amazon.in has set up a dedicated page to mark the arrival of the Vivo S1 Pro, and should be available on the e-commerce site when it launches. The teaser suggests that the Vivo S1 Pro will feature a diamond-shaped quad-camera setup with a 48-megapixel main sensor.

As mentioned, Vivo today revealed on Twitter that it will launch the S1 Pro smartphone on 4 January in India. The launch date is mentioned on the company's Twitter profile header image as well as a promotional page on the company's website. Separately, the phone's microsite appeared on Amazon. The teaser page on the e-retailer has confirmed that it will soon be one of the e-retailer to sell the Vivo S1 Pro in India. The page shows a diamond-shaped AI quad-camera setup on the back of the phone and teases that the Vivo S1 Pro will feature a 48-megapixel sensor. It also teases that the phone will have an AI super-wide camera and AI macro camera. The teaser page on the front has a 32-megapixel selfie camera. Also, the Amazon page reveals a bit more, but the Me Notify Me button has been made live by users to register their interest.

If the India variant is similar to the Philippines variant, it will sport a water-back-up front, in-display fingerprint sensor and gradient back panel finish. Key features should include a 6.38-inch full-HD + display, octa-core Snapdragon 665 SoC, 8GB RAM, 128GB storage and a 4,500mAh battery. The Vivo S1 Pro Philippine variant was priced at Php 15,999 (around Rs 22,500) and we can expect the Indian variant to be priced in the same range. The smartphone was launched in the Philippines in fancy Sky and Night Black colour options, and it remains to be seen whether India gets similar options.

To recall, the Vivo S1 Pro was first launched in China in May, but the design of this model is completely different, and it also lacks a diamond-shaped rear camera module. Based on the Amazon teaser, it is most likely that we will see the global version launching in India and not the China version.
