Editorial report

vivo S16 Pro 8 GB / 256 GB / China technical sheet

The vivo S16 Pro suits buyers looking for a slim phone with a standout display; its main trade-off is a battery with less capacity than most phones of its time. Overall, it stands better than most phones launched around the same time, led by a display among the best and a notably slim body.

Its 6.78-inch AMOLED display reaches 1300 nits peak brightness, higher than most phones of its time, and has a 92% screen-to-body ratio, among the highest of its time. The panel also offers 120 Hz, HDR10+, and Always-On Display. At 7.4 mm thick, the phone is among the thinnest of its time.

The MediaTek Dimensity 8200 pairs with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage in this version. Its AnTuTu result of 935,900 is higher than that of most phones of its time. The 50 MP camera has optical image stabilization and records 4K video at 30 fps; the camera overall stands better than most, although its f/1.9 aperture is less bright than most. The 66 W charging power is also higher than most, while the battery capacity is 4600 mAh. The phone is sold from 8 GB / 256 GB to 12 GB / 512 GB. This China-market version runs Android 13 and has no Google Services. Verdict: NeoScore 6.9; a strong fit for buyers who prioritize the display and slim design and can accept the smaller battery capacity.
