Vivo has silently unveiled the Vivo S1 smartphone in China. The new smartphone is a toned-down version of the Vivo V15 phone that was recently launched in India, and comes with a notch-less display and a pop-out selfie shooter. The only noticeable differences in terms of specs between the two phones is that the S1 is equipped with a lower resolution selfie camera and a slightly inferior main sensor in its triple camera module. Also, the S1 comes with a dedicated hardware button for accessing the Jovi voice assistant.
