vivo just revived a nameplate fans have been waiting for. The S Series is officially back in India with the vivo S2, a premium mid-ranger built around a curved AMOLED display, a massive 7,050mAh battery and IP69 durability — aimed squarely at buyers chasing flagship-like polish without flagship pricing.

vivo S2: Design That Wants to Be Noticed
The S2 ships in three finishes — Silk White, Sapphire Blue and Regal Bronze — each using distinct metallic and textured effects. At just 7.99mm thin and 197g, it pairs an elevated camera module with a 6.83-inch 3D curved AMOLED panel offering 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate and up to 3,000 nits peak brightness.
That kind of display spec puts it in direct conversation with other premium mid-range smartphones we’ve been tracking this year in India.
