Editorial report

vivo S50 Pro mini 12 GB / 512 GB / China technical sheet

The vivo S50 Pro mini suits buyers who want a compact high-end phone with an ambitious display, strong hardware and fast charging. Its LTPO AMOLED panel reaches 6,000 nits, provides 461 ppi and covers 90.2% of the body. A 120Hz refresh rate is typical for its time, but the brightness and pixel density are among the best, while the 191g weight is better than most phones launched around the same time.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, LPDDR5X memory and UFS 4.1 storage make a powerful combination, with the AnTuTu result among the best of its time. The camera adds an f/1.6 aperture, optical stabilization and 3x optical zoom; the aperture and zoom are stronger than those of most phones. Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, 5G and dual-SIM support round out the connectivity.

The 6,500mAh battery is typical, but 90W wired charging is better than most and 40W wireless charging is among the best of its time. This version has 12GB / 256GB; the phone is also sold up to 16GB / 512GB, with no expandable storage. Android 16 receives five years of updates, but the phone has no Google Services. With an overall NeoScore of 8.4, it is a strong choice for anyone prioritizing the display, hardware and charging.
