Last week a vivo vice president said to expect an announcement on the S18 series on December 4. Today is the day and we have learned that the range will be officially presented on December 14th. There will be three phones: an affordable S18e, a vanilla S18 with two cameras, and a vivo S18 Pro with the most impressive specs in the lineup.

Jia Jingdong, VP and GM of Brand and Product Strategy at vivo, revealed that the Pro variant will have a Dimensity 9200+ chipset and a 50MP camera with a Sony IMX920 sensor, also seen in the recently introduced flagship X100 smartphone.

The executive also said that the base Vivo S18 will have the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset, confirming previous rumors. Coming back to the S18 Pro, it also borrows the 50MP ultra-wide camera from the X100 range, while the telephoto lens has a 12MP sensor and an f/2.0 lens with 2x optical zoom, seen in the vivo X90s.
Jia also posted some camera examples taken with a vivo S18 smartphone. Here are three examples, but keep in mind that they may have some artifacts due to posting on social media.
