vivo S19 and S19 Pro
The most notable feature of the new duo is its batteries. The S19 comes with a massive 6000mAh battery, while the S19 Pro has a 5500mAh battery.
Despite the larger batteries, the duo is still pretty slender at 7.19mm for the S19 and 7.58mm for its Pro sibling. This is thanks to vivo’s Blue Ocean technology which delivers 809Wh/L energy density.
