Vivo S20 Pro tipped to launch as mid-range Android smartphone with select flagship specs

Vivo is now said to have a successor to the S19 Pro - a smartphone that is also available as the V40 Pro on Amazon in India - in the works. 

The allegedly upcoming S-series flagship may have been spotted on the 3C regulatory database as the V2430A ahead of its debut. If so, the device has been cleared to use the same power bricks with which the X200 Pro was tested (V9082LOA1-CN and V9082LOE1-CN).

Accordingly, it looks like the S20 Pro will be able to boast 90W charging - not the fastest in the world, but still flagship-grade in the Vivo universe. 

On that note, it might be in line for an on-trend enlarged battery, a 50MP periscope zoom camera with 3X optical zoom and a 1.5K display, albeit one driven by the Dimensity 9300+ platform rather than the X200 line's newer 9400 silicon.

The widely-regarded leaker Digital Chat Station has vaguely hinted that the S20 Pro will set itself apart by being thinner than the new Vivo flagships, which may or may not dash hopes of a switch to a flat-edged frame among S-series fans.
