According to a new leak out of China, vivo is working on the S30, which will be powered by Qualcomm’s still-unannounced Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 SoC. That’s one generation newer than the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 in its predecessor.
The phone will allegedly have a 6.67-inch “1.5K” resolution flat screen, a periscope telephoto camera using Sony’s IMX882 sensor, and a 6,500 mAh battery.

It will be joined by the S30 Pro mini, with a 6.31-inch “1.5K” flat screen (in fact rumored to be exactly the same LTPO OLED panel used in the X200 Pro mini), and this one will be powered by either the Dimensity 9300+ or the Dimensity 9400e that’s popping up quite a lot in rumors lately. The smaller device will apparently have a metal frame, and the same periscope telephoto camera and battery capacity as its larger sibling.
The Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 is expected to be made using TSMC’s N4 process, and it will have a 1+3+4 CPU core design for a “low-power mid-range chip”, machine translation from Chinese says.
