Vivo S50 and S50 Pro Mini Secure Radio Certification Ahead of China Launch
Vivo is reportedly gearing up to launch its S50 series in China in the coming weeks, following the global debut of the Vivo X300 series last week. The S50 lineup is expected to include at least two models: the Vivo S50 and Vivo S50 Pro Mini, which will succeed last year’s Vivo S30 and S30 Pro Mini launched in May. Early reports indicate that the new phones have already received regulatory clearance, suggesting that an official launch could happen soon.
According to a report from Gizmochina, an unnamed tipster revealed that two Vivo devices, bearing model numbers V2527A and V2528A, have appeared on the SRRC (State Radio Regulation) website. These listings are widely believed to correspond to the Vivo S50 and S50 Pro Mini, signaling that the phones have passed the necessary radio certification required for launch in China. However, the SRRC listings do not reveal detailed specifications or features, leaving many questions about the devices’ capabilities still unanswered.
The Vivo S50 series is expected to make its official debut later this month, positioning itself against competitors like the Oppo Reno 15 and Honor 500 series, which are also rumored to launch around the same time. Both the base S50 and the S50 Pro Mini are likely to run Android 16 with Vivo’s OriginOS 6 skin on top, offering a familiar and refined software experience for users in China.
While specific hardware details are still under wraps, the S50 series is expected to continue Vivo’s trend of delivering mid-range smartphones with competitive features, including strong cameras, high-refresh-rate displays, and solid performance. With regulatory approvals now complete, the countdown to the official launch in China has officially begun, and more details regarding specifications, pricing, and availability are expected to emerge in the coming weeks.
