Vivo S19

The Vivo S19 has a slim profile at 7.2 mm thick and weighs 193 g, with overall dimensions of 163.6 mm in height and 75.7 mm in width. It carries an IP64 rating, meaning it offers protection against dust and water splashes, though it does not feature a rugged build. The device is a standard candy-bar form factor and cannot be folded.

The Vivo S19 features a 6.78″ OLED/AMOLED touchscreen with a 1260 x 2800 px resolution and a pixel density of 453 ppi, backed by a contrast ratio of 8,000,000:1. The panel runs at a 120Hz refresh rate with a 300Hz touch sampling rate, and supports both HDR10 and HDR10+, though Dolby Vision is not supported. Always-On Display is available, and there is no secondary screen. The display does not use branded damage-resistant glass.

The Vivo S19 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, a 4 nm chipset with a CPU configuration of 1 x 2.63 GHz, 3 x 2.4 GHz, and 4 x 1.8 GHz cores, making use of big.LITTLE technology and multithreading. Graphics are handled by the integrated Adreno 720 GPU running at 950 MHz, with support for DirectX 12 and OpenGL ES 3.2. The device comes with 16 GB of LPDDR5 RAM at 3200 MHz and 512 GB of internal storage, reaching a maximum memory bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s. It recorded an AnTuTu benchmark score of 945,119, supports 64-bit processing, has integrated LTE on the SoC, and includes ARM TrustZone for hardware-level security, all within a thermal envelope of 6W TDP.

The Vivo S19 features a dual-lens rear camera system pairing a 50 MP (f/2.2) lens with an 8 MP (f/1.9) lens, both using a CMOS sensor and supported by optical image stabilization. Autofocus options include phase-detection and touch autofocus, as well as continuous autofocus during video recording, though laser autofocus is not present. Video capture reaches up to 4K at 30 fps, with slow-motion recording also supported, while HDR10 and Dolby Vision recording are not available. Manual controls cover exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, but manual shutter speed and RAW capture are absent; additional shooting modes include burst, panorama, and timelapse. The rear flash is a single-tone unit — dual-tone and RGB flash are not included. On the front, a single 50 MP camera with an f/2.0 aperture handles selfies, without a front flash, a secondary front lens, or an under-display placement.

The Vivo S19 runs Android 14 and includes a range of privacy controls such as clipboard warnings, location privacy options, and camera/microphone access management, though Mail Privacy Protection and cross-site tracking blocking are not available. Users can personalize the interface through theme customization and dynamic theming, and the OS supports dark mode, an extra dim mode, widgets, and customizable notifications, while focus modes and app offloading are absent. On the productivity side, the device supports split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page screenshots, Live Text, sharing intents, and the ability to play games while they download. On-device machine learning is present, alongside offline voice recognition and voice commands. Additional features include a media picker, battery health check, child lock, multi-user support, and device tracking, while Wi-Fi password sharing, direct OS vendor updates, Quick Start, and PC mode are not supported.

The Vivo S19 is equipped with a 6000 mAh rechargeable battery that supports 80W wired fast charging, along with a battery level indicator for monitoring charge status. The battery is not removable and wireless charging is not supported.

The Vivo S19 does not include a 3.5 mm headphone jack, stereo speakers, or a built-in radio. For wireless audio, it supports aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, and LDAC, covering a broad range of high-quality Bluetooth audio codecs, though aptX Lossless is not available.

The Vivo S19 supports 5G connectivity with download speeds of up to 5000 Mbit/s and upload speeds of 160 Mbit/s, and accommodates two SIM cards. Wi-Fi coverage spans Wi-Fi 4, Wi-Fi 5, and Wi-Fi 6 (802.11n/ac/ax), while Bluetooth 5.4 and NFC are also on board. The USB Type-C port operates at USB 2.0, and there is no external memory slot, HDMI output, or DLNA certification. For sensors, the device includes a fingerprint scanner, gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, GPS with Galileo support, and an infrared sensor; a barometer, heart rate monitor, iris scanner, and 3D facial recognition are not present. Crash detection, emergency SOS via satellite, ANT+, motion tracking, optical tracking, and a built-in projector are likewise absent, and no stylus is included.

The Vivo S19 includes a video light for recording in low-light conditions. The display is flat rather than curved, and the device does not feature sapphire glass protection or an e-paper display.
