A fresh leak from China has unveiled several key specifications for both devices, which are poised to deliver a premium mid-range experience — including high-resolution displays, powerful chipsets, and periscope cameras.

The vivo S30 is said to be powered by the unannounced Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 SoC, which is expected to be built on TSMC’s advanced N4 node. It will adopt a 1+3+4 CPU core architecture, making it a power-efficient yet performance-oriented mid-range chipset.
Other leaked features include:
-
6.67-inch flat display with a 1.5K resolution

Periscope telephoto camera using Sony’s IMX882 sensor

Joining the S30 is the vivo S30 Pro Mini, a smaller yet feature-packed sibling. The device will feature:
-
6.31-inch 1.5K flat LTPO OLED panel, reportedly the same used in the vivo X200 Pro Mini
-
Chipset options include the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ or Dimensity 9400e
-
Periscope telephoto camera with Sony IMX882 sensor
-
6,500 mAh battery, same as the S30
-

The use of a periscope telephoto lens in both models signals vivo’s continued focus on photography, even in more compact or mid-range devices.
