Editorial report

vivo S6 5G 8 GB / 128 GB / China technical sheet

The vivo S6 5G suits buyers looking for a 5G phone with an AMOLED display; the trade-off is that its storage cannot be expanded with a card. This configuration pairs 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage, and the phone is also sold with 256 GB. Its 6.44-inch display has a pixel density of 409 ppi, higher than that of most phones of its time. That makes the screen a notable specification for buyers who prioritize pixel density. For design and display, it fares better than most phones launched around the same time.

The 8 GB of RAM is also more than most phones of its time offer. Its AnTuTu result is better than most, and the phone uses a Samsung Exynos 980 processor. The camera and battery are above average: the main camera has a 1/2-inch sensor and 48 MP resolution, while the battery capacity is 4500 mAh. Fast charging is rated at 18 W. The camera setup also includes an 8 MP ultrawide camera, and video recording reaches 4K at 30 fps.

Connectivity is better than on most phones of its time, with 5G, dual SIM and USB Type-C. The vivo S6 5G has an overall NeoScore of 5.4. It is a fit for buyers who value an AMOLED screen with high pixel density and 5G connectivity, and can work with 128 GB or 256 GB of built-in storage without a card expansion option.
