- Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 is tipped for the Vivo S70, up from the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 inside the Vivo S60.
- Tipped rear system pairs a 50MP main and 8MP ultrawide with a 64MP Sony LYT-610 periscope telephoto, plus a 50MP selfie camera.
- A 200mm teleconverter is tipped as an optional add on, a first for Vivo's S lineup if it happens.
Vivo S70 leaks point to a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, a 6.59-inch 1.5K OLED and a 64MP periscope telephoto that can pair with an optional 200mm teleconverter. Vivo hasn't confirmed the phone, and the details below come from tipster Digital Chat Station.

Vivo S70 features: Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 and performance
Digital Chat Station says the S70 will run Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. That's the whole engine for speed, graphics and photo processing, so a newer 8s should feel snappier and handle heavier camera work better.
And it's a clean generational bump. The Vivo S60 runs Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, so the S70 would push the S series forward without jumping to the flagship 8 Elite line. Vivo's stuck with the 8s for its top S model before, and this fits that pattern.
| Feature | Vivo S60 | Vivo S70 (tipped) |
|---|---|---|
| Chipset | Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 | Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 |
| Display size and resolution | 6.59-inch 1.5K OLED | 6.59-inch 1.5K LTPS OLED |
| Periscope telephoto | 50MP, 3x optical zoom | 64MP Sony LYT-610 |
Vivo S70 cameras and 200mm teleconverter support
The tipped setup is 50MP main, 8MP ultrawide and 64MP Sony LYT-610 periscope at the back, with a 50MP front camera. It's a familiar mix, but that periscope is the story.
Vivo S60 used a 50MP periscope with 3x optical zoom. Moving to 64MP gives you more pixels to crop and more detail in zoomed portraits. That's a real upgrade on paper for anyone who actually uses telephoto.
Then there's the 200mm teleconverter. It's a clip on lens that stretches focal length without making the phone's own module bigger. Vivo's done this on the X series, and the Vivo X300 FE was the first FE to support the 200mm Telephoto Extender Gen 2. If the S70 adds it, it'll be the first S phone to offer that kind of reach. The leak frames it as an optional accessory sold separately.
Vivo S70 display and design
You're looking at a tipped 6.59-inch 1.5K LTPS OLED, flat. That's the sweet spot between Full HD and 2K, sharp without hammering battery, and it matches the Vivo S60 that launched in China in May.
One fun footnote from the tipster. Vivo tried a rear display on an early S70 engineering sample, then scrapped it.
Price and Availability in India
The leak points to a November launch in China. Vivo hasn't announced pricing or India availability yet.
