The series, which includes the standard Vivo S50 and the compact flagship Vivo S50 Pro Mini, is generating significant buzz, especially for its blend of powerful hardware and stylish design.
The new Vivo S50 series is officially set to debut in China on December 15, 2025, at 7 PM CST (4:30 PM IST).

Vivo is known for its fashionable designs, and the S50 series is no exception. The company has revealed the attractive color options for both models, catering to diverse style preferences:
The new colorways, especially the unique ‘Confession White’ and ‘Inspiration Purple,’ hint at a premium and sophisticated design language. Both phones are set to feature an aerospace-grade aluminum frame and a new satin lithography process for an enhanced feel and appearance. The standard S50 will sport a rectangular camera module, while the Pro Mini will opt for a distinctive horizontal bar design.
The core specifications revealed so far confirm the S50 series will be a powerhouse:
