The much-anticipated Vivo S20 series is inching closer to its launch, gaining attention with new leaks and certification details. Trusted leaker Digital Chat Station recently shared insights on what to expect from the Vivo S20 Pro, following a listing on China’s 3C quality certification database. This certification confirms a 5G model with the number V2430A, which is likely the S20 Pro.
Features of Vivo S20 Pro
Powerful Performance with Dimensity 9300+
According to the leak, the Vivo S20 Pro may be powered by MediaTek’s sub-flagship Dimensity 9300+ processor, while the base S20 model might feature the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3. This powerful chipset positions the S20 Pro as a high-performing mid-range device with smooth multitasking and impressive processing speed.
Immersive Display
The Vivo S20 Pro is rumored to include a 6.67-inch display with a 1.5K resolution and a unique “equal-depth quad-curved screen” design. This means the screen will have gentle curves on all four edges, providing a more immersive viewing experience.
Camera Upgrades
Camera improvements are also expected. The S20 Pro could sport a 50-megapixel main sensor, accompanied by a 3x optical zoom periscope lens—a step up from its predecessor’s 2x optical zoom. These updates should deliver sharper images and enhanced zoom capabilities, appealing to photography enthusiasts.
Large Battery with 90W Fast Charging
While the exact battery size remains unknown, the 3C certification hints at 90W fast charging, aligning it with Vivo’s recent X200 series. This feature ensures quick battery top-ups, keeping users powered throughout the day.
Sleek and Thin Design
The leak also mentions a “thin body” for the S20 Pro, which could appeal to users looking for a stylish, easy-to-carry device. This slim profile could become a standout feature in the S20 Pro’s design.
Final Thoughts
While these details come from leaks and not official announcements, Digital Chat Station has a reliable track record, making these specifications likely. However, Vivo has yet to confirm the S20 Pro’s specs or its launch date officially. As the Vivo S20 series continues to build anticipation, it’s expected to bring strong performance, a premium display, and advanced camera capabilities to mid-range smartphone users.

The OnePlus Nord CE 4 has become the first device in the Nord series to receive the OxygenOS 15 Closed Beta update based on Android 15. This update introduces several new features, but it also misses out on some key elements available on flagship models like the OnePlus 12. Here’s a breakdown of what’s included and what’s missing on the Nord CE 4.
What’s New in OxygenOS 15
The update brings a few exciting changes to the OnePlus Nord CE 4. Users will notice smoother animations and faster app-opening speeds, enhancing the overall user experience. New additions also include the Phone Manager app, which allows users to monitor and clean their device storage with ease.
The lock screen customization options from flagship models are also available. Users can modify the clock design, add widgets, and choose different themes. The Flux theme is fully supported, allowing for a smoother lock screen experience without lag. Additionally, there are two new icon packs—Shadow and Radiance—that offer a fresh look for the home screen.
What’s Missing in OxygenOS 15 for OnePlus Nord CE 4
While OxygenOS 15 adds new features, it lacks some flagship-exclusive options. The advanced animations, such as the dynamic blur effect in the notification panel and app drawer, are notably absent. Unlike on the OnePlus 12, the Nord CE 4 lacks the enhanced blur effects and transparency in the control center, app drawer, and notification panels.
The Advanced Volume Slider, which provides a slim and less intrusive volume control on flagship models, is also missing. Other features, like live photos in the camera app and some AI functionalities, have not been included on the Nord CE 4. The Charging Ripple Effect, which enhances the charging animation, is also not present on the device.
Despite these missing features, the Nord CE 4’s OxygenOS 15 update brings a fresh design and performance improvements. Future updates may add more features, closing the gap between Nord and flagship models.
