Leaks reveal that Vivo is preparing to release the Vivo S50 series at the end of this month in China, with a wider global rollout expected later. The company is skipping the “S40” branding due to cultural superstitions around the number 4 in some Asian markets.
Future Vivo plans may include the X500 series as the successor to X300, featuring advanced processors and camera systems.
