In addition, the Vivo S18 series will be equipped with the proprietary Blue Heart AI model with six billion parameters, which, among other things, can improve the quality of portrait photography.
The Vivo S18 and S18 Pro look different when compared to the S18e. The standard and Pro versions have a curved-edge OLED display that supports a 120Hz refresh rate. Both devices are expected to come with an 80W charger. Some reports claim that the Pro model may offer 100W charging.
While the company showed off the design of the Vivo TWS 3e headphones, it did not confirm any of their key features.
