Vivo Confirms S2 Launch in India, Leaks Clash on Key Specs

The return of the S-series could reshape Vivo’s India line-up by creating overlap with existing models and forcing careful pricing choices.

Overview

  • Vivo has confirmed the S2 will come to India and the handset is listed in the Bureau of Indian Standards database, indicating formal launch preparations and reports that point to an August unveiling.
  • Vivo India’s promo material published online shows the S2’s design with a curved front display, a central punch‑hole selfie camera, and a horizontal pill‑shaped dual rear camera module.
  • Multiple sources consistently report a large 7,050mAh battery with 44W FlashCharge, reverse wired charging for accessories, and claimed IP68/IP69 dust and water resistance.
  • Leaks disagree on critical hardware: some point to a MediaTek Dimensity 7360 or 7360‑Turbo chipset while others claim a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, and rear camera reports range from a 50MP+2MP dual setup to a 50MP primary plus 8MP ultra‑wide with OIS.
  • Tipsters have suggested retail prices near Rs 51,999 for 8GB/128GB and Rs 55,999 for 8GB/256GB, and one leak says Vivo may offer an S2 FE in India instead of an S2 Pro, a move that would affect how the series is positioned against Vivo’s V and X phones.
