The vivo S30 series made its debut in China earlier today with two models. There’s the vanilla S30 which features a 6.67-inch AMOLED (FHD+ 120Hz) and the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chip. It is joined by the S30 Pro mini which dials down to a 6.31-inch LTPO AMOLED (FHD+ 120Hz) and opts for MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ instead.

The more impressive bit is that despite the smaller size, the S30 Pro mini gets the same 6,500mAh battery as its larger sibling, coupled with 90W charging. S30 Pro mini measures 150×71.7×7.99mm and weighs 186 grams, which places it in the same size category as the vivo X200 Pro mini.

The pair also comes with 50MP front-facing cameras with autofocus and optical fingerprint scanners. S30 is IP64 water and dust resistant while the S30 Pro mini offers a superior IP68/69 rating against pressurized water jets. The software side is covered by OriginOS 5 based on Android 15.
