Editorial report

vivo S30 Pro mini technical sheet

The vivo S30 Pro mini suits buyers who want a compact Android phone with an especially ambitious display and high-end hardware. Its main trade-off is the main camera’s aperture, which is less bright than that of most phones of its time.

The 6.31″ LTPO AMOLED display reaches 5000 nits and 461 ppi, putting its brightness and density among the best of its time. Its 90.2% usable surface is better than most, while 186 g and 8 mm are also better than most phones of its time for weight and thickness. The Dimensity 9300+ and 2,349,540 AnTuTu points place its hardware above most phones of its time. This version pairs 12 GB of RAM with 256 GB of storage. The phone is sold from 12 GB / 256 GB to 16 GB / 512 GB, though storage is not expandable.

The camera combines 3x optical zoom with optical stabilization, among the best combinations of its time. However, the main camera’s f/1.9 aperture is less bright than most. Its 6500 mAh battery and 90 W charging are also better than those of most phones of its time. Connectivity includes 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4 and dual SIM. Android 15 is included, but Google Services and direct OS updates are not. With an overall NeoScore of 7.9, the vivo S30 Pro mini is better than most phones of its time, especially for its display and hardware.
