Editorial report
vivo S18 16 GB / 512 GB / China technical sheet
The vivo S18 suits buyers who want a detailed display and fast charging; its main trade-off is that it has no Google Services. The configuration shown has 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage, while the phone is also sold in configurations up to 16 GB / 512 GB. Its NeoScore is 7.2, better than most phones launched around the same time.
The 6.78-inch AMOLED display has 453 ppi, among the highest densities of its time, and peak brightness of 2800 nits, higher than on most phones launched around then. Its 120 Hz refresh rate is typical. Performance and hardware are better than most phones of its time, and its AnTuTu result is 866,863. The processor is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, with UFS 3.1 storage.
The rear main camera pairs a 50 MP sensor with a 1/1.55-inch sensor size, better than most phones launched around the same time; its f/1.9 aperture is worse than most. An 8 MP ultrawide camera is also included. Connectivity is better than on most phones of its time. The 5000 mAh battery capacity is typical, while 80 W charging is better than most. The vivo S18 is a strong fit for buyers prioritizing screen detail, broad connectivity, and fast charging, provided the lack of Google Services is not a deal-breaker.
