Vivo has recently unveiled its S17 series smartphones today in China. We got the Vivo S17, Vivo S17t and Vivo S17 Pro which alongside the recently announced Vivo S17e complete the four-strong series.
The new devices sport the same curved 10-bit OLED displays (1260 x 2800 px resolution and 120Hz refresh rates) and 4,600mAh batteries with 80W fast charging. The differences come in the chipset and camera setups so let’s take a closer look.
