Editorial report

vivo S1 technical sheet

The vivo S1 suits buyers who put an AMOLED display and a large battery first, but its AnTuTu result is a clear performance drawback. At 138,000, the result is worse than most phones launched around the same time, while its hardware overall sits above average. Those findings describe different aspects: the benchmark is a weakness, even though the broader hardware picture is more favorable.

Its 6.38-inch Super AMOLED display has a pixel density of 404 ppi, higher than that of most phones of its time. The display overall also stands better than most. A 4,500 mAh battery offers more capacity than most phones launched around the same time, while 18 W fast charging is average. That balance makes the S1 more appealing to buyers who value screen quality and battery capacity than those focused on benchmark results.

For photography, the 1/2.8-inch rear main camera sensor is smaller than those in most phones of its time, and the camera overall is below average. There is also an 8 MP ultrawide camera; the rear main camera has 16 MP resolution and an f/1.8 aperture. Connectivity is above average, with dual Nano-SIM, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. The vivo S1 earns a NeoScore of 4.7. It is best suited to buyers who value its display and battery capacity more than its benchmark performance or camera standing.
