Following the footsteps of the Vivo S17 lineup released earlier this year, the upcoming series will include three models: the base Vivo S18, Vivo S18 Pro, and the Vivo S18e. While the company has already teased the design, color options, and some key specifications, recent leaked images provide a closer look at the phones, unveiling additional color variations.

A report from Gizmochina showcases images of the Vivo S18 series, spotlighting new color options that were not previously revealed. Although Vivo had recently shared the design and color options of the handsets, the leaked images portray the phones in black and grey hues adorned with intricate flower-like patterns on the back panel. Notably, the images highlight the Aura-LED flash unit beneath the camera module, radiating a captivating visual appeal.

While the report doesn’t explicitly mention the model, it is speculated to be the Vivo S18 Pro. On the official microsite for the upcoming phones, the base Vivo S18 was presented in black, green, and purple color variants, while the Vivo S18 Pro was teased in a green and purple color variant. The green and purple options for the base model showcased flower patterns on the back panel, while the darker variant appeared in a sleek solid black color, devoid of any patterns. The leaked images add another layer of excitement as enthusiasts eagerly await the official unveiling of the Vivo S18 series, promising a blend of sophisticated design and vibrant color choices.

According to 91Mobiles, these images were posted by the company on their official Weibo profile. However, at the time of writing this, the images were not found on Vivo’s page on the microblogging site. The images have however been circulated online.
