Vivo Confirms S2 Tease for India After Six‑Year S Series Hiatus

The teaser signals vivo's intent to re-enter India's mid-to-high-range phone market with a launch that could settle conflicting hardware and price leaks.

Overview

  • vivo India posted a promo page and social teases in late July saying the S2 is “coming soon” and describing a flagship-inspired design with emphasis on imaging and audio-visual performance.
  • Leaked dummy images and early reports show a curved, hole-punch display, matte rear, pill-shaped dual-camera island and colour options that include black and rose gold.
  • Multiple leaks claim a high-resolution curved AMOLED/OLED 1.5K display at 120Hz and an in-display fingerprint sensor, but core internals remain disputed across sources.
  • Tipsters are split on the chipset and key specs with some reporting a mid-range MediaTek Dimensity 7360 and others naming a flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, while leaks also suggest a very large battery (around 7,000 mAh), fast charging and 50MP/32MP camera hardware.
  • Pricing and launch timing are unconfirmed: retail listings and tipsters point to roughly INR 40,000–45,000 for an 8GB/128GB model and an August 6 debut has circulated but has not been officially announced.
