The Vivo S50 gets a slightly smaller 6.59″ screen than its predecessor, as well as a more capable Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip. The S50 Pro Mini retains the compact 6.31″ display and also gets a chip upgrade with the recently announced Snapdragon 8s Gen 5 chip SoC.

Both the new S50 models get AMOLED displays with FHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. The panel houses 50MP selfie cameras and an updated ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.

Both phones are IP68+IP69 rated against water and dust and feature a 6,500 mAh Si/C battery with 90W wired charging. The S50 Pro Mini has the added benefit of 40W wireless charging.

The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 inside the S50 should provide a noticeable boost over the S30’s SD 7 Gen 4 chip. The S50 Pro Mini’s SD 8 Gen 5 should also bring a bit more excitement than the S30 Pro Mini’s Dimensity 9300+. You can configure both S50 members with 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.1 storage.

They share the same triple cameras with a 50MP main shooter (IMX921), a 50MP telephoto (IMX882) with 3x optical zoom, and an 8MP ultrawide lens. Both S50 members boot OriginOS 6 based on Android 16 out of the box.
