Vivo launches compact S30 Pro Mini with 6,500 mAh battery, three 50 MP cameras and Dimensity 9300+
The Vivo S30 Pro Mini is currently one of the most compact flagships on the market. It has a 6.31-inch LTPO AMOLED panel, making the smartphone similar in size to an Apple iPhone 16 Pro. The display delivers a refresh rate of 120 Hz, 1.5K resolution and a HDR peak brightness of 5,000 nits.
The 7.99-millimeter-thin, 186-gram casing is IP68 and IP69 certified, making it waterproof. Despite its relatively compact design, Vivo has managed to squeeze in a gigantic 6,500 mAh battery, which can be charged via USB-C with up to 90 watts. Vivo also makes few compromises in terms of cameras, as the S30 Pro Mini has a 50 MP selfie camera, a 50 MP main camera with a 1/1.56 inch sensor and OIS, and a 50 MP f/2.65 periscope telephoto camera with a 1/1.95 inch sensor and triple optical zoom.
Vivo only cuts back a little on the ultra-wide-angle camera, installing an 8 MP sensor. Thanks to the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+, the Vivo S30 Pro Mini provides performance comparable to a 2024 flagship. A vapor chamber cooling system is intended to ensure consistently solid performance under sustained load. An infrared blaster, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, an NFC chip and Origin OS 5 complete the features of the Vivo S30 Pro Mini.
Price and availability
The Vivo S30 Pro Mini is now available in China with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of flash storage for 2,999 yuan (approx. $417). The top model with 16 GB or 512 GB of storage costs 3,499 yuan (approx. $486). Both prices include a launch discount of 500 yuan (approx. $70). Whether or when the Vivo S30 Pro Mini will get a global launch is uncertain.
