Editorial report
vivo S10 8 GB / 256 GB / China technical sheet
The vivo S10 suits buyers looking for a slim, light phone with an AMOLED display and several camera options. Its 6.44-inch display has a density of 409 ppi, higher than that of most phones launched around the same time. At 7.3 mm thick, it is also among the thinnest phones of its time. The 90 Hz refresh rate is typical for that period.
The rear main camera has 64 MP resolution, higher than that of most phones launched around the same time, and optical image stabilization. Its f/1.9 aperture, however, is less bright than that of most. The phone also has an 8 MP ultrawide camera and a 2 MP macro camera. The front main camera is 44 MP, while the rear main camera records 4K video at 30 fps.
Its 4050 mAh battery has less capacity than most phones of its time, although 44 W charging power is higher than that of most. This version has no Google Services and no direct OS updates, a substantial limitation for buyers who rely on them. Overall, the vivo S10 is better than most phones launched around the same time and has a NeoScore of 6.5. It makes the strongest case for buyers who prioritize a high-density display and an optically stabilized main camera, rather than a high-capacity battery or access to Google Services.
