vivo has just introduced the vivo S19 series comprised of the S19 and S19 Pro, the latest members of its S series in China.
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.
The next highlight is the camera system. The S19 features a 50MP-led dual rear camera, while its Pro sibling has a 50MP main accompanied by a 50MP telephoto + 8MP ultrawide lens around the back. They also share 50MP front sensors.
Aside from the additional sensor, you can differentiate the two devices from their displays. They share 6.78-inch 1.5K 120Hz AMOLED panels but the Pro has a curved panel, while its vanilla sibling has a flat display.
Under the hood, they also have different chipsets which offer different RAM and storage. The vanilla device is equipped with a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 with up to 16GB LPPDR4X RAM and up to 512GB UFS 2.2 storage. The Pro, on the hand, has a MediaTek Dimensity 9200+ with up to 16GB LPDDR5 RAM and up to 512GB UFS 3.1 storage.
They also feature IP68 and IP69 ratings for the S19 and S19 Pro, respectively. Moreover, they are engineered to withstand falls.
