Vivo Launches New S2 5G Phone With Big Battery and Discount
Listen to the story
Vivo has launched a new 5G smartphone in India called the Vivo S2. The company has now started selling the phone with several launch discounts.
One of the biggest highlights of the Vivo S2 is its huge 7,050mAh battery. This large battery capacity means the phone should be able to run for a long time without needing to be charged.
The phone also comes with a 3D curved AMOLED display. AMOLED screens are known for showing bright colours and deep blacks, while the curved design gives the phone a more premium look.
For photography, the Vivo S2 includes a 50MP camera. A higher megapixel count generally helps a camera capture more detailed photos.
Buyers can also choose a version of the phone with up to 16GB of RAM. More RAM usually allows a phone to run several apps smoothly at the same time.
To attract early buyers, Vivo is offering a discount of 4,500 rupees on the S2 during its launch sale. Along with this price cut, the company has included several other launch offers, although exact details of these extra deals were not fully specified.
The Vivo S2 joins a growing number of 5G phones being launched in India, as more companies try to offer better batteries, cameras and displays at competitive prices.
