This revolutionary technology allows the screen to be instantly unlocked with just a single touch on the S1 display.

The Halo FullView^TM Display also provides an uninterrupted viewing experience. A perfect symmetry ensures a fantastic visual display for not only viewing amazing selfies, but also for gaming and watching videos. A 6.38-inch Super AMOLED Display with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio and a screen-to-body ratio of 90% allow users to enjoy a full view without boundaries and immerse themselves in the ultimate mobile experience.


Get a Taste of Professional Photography with the AI Triple CameraProfessional photography is made easy with the AI Triple Camera. The triple camera with the Sony IMX499 Camera Sensor is powered through AI, ensuring that professional-grade photos can be taken with ease. Features like AI Portrait Framing also help users compose their pictures better for that perfect shot even in the frenetic heat of a key life moment.

Thanks to the AI Super Wide Angle, fitting the Rouche Rocks or even the Cedar Forest into your shot is no longer a challenge with the S1's expanded viewing angle of 120⁰. In addition to great landscape shots, the camera automatically switches to Super Wide-Angle mode when a group shot is detected to ensure it captures all the details with stunning precision within the frame.


Powerful, yet long-lasting performance made possible with AIS1's powerful octa-core processor, which has clock speeds of up to 2.0GHz, is supported by 6GB RAM and 128GB ROM to ensure fast and smooth performance while multitasking and gaming. Gamers will love the Ultra Game Mode, which allows them to react seamlessly to every in-game moment through reducing frame-drop by 300%. The newly added Game Countdown even shows the time remaining before a game starts, so that users can get more things done while waiting for the action to begin.


Vivo's AI makes another leap forward with a more powerful Jovi, the dedicated personal assistant that understands user's needs. The Smart Button feature enables you to access Google Assistant with just one press, while a double press activates the Jovi Image Recognizer. With Jovi Image Recognizer, you can access almost 100 mainstream e-commerce platforms to search through a database of over half a billion products. This is the future of AI shopping.


The performance lasts thanks to a large 4,500mAh battery and vivo's unique Dual-Engine Fast Charging feature. Now users can leave their power banks at home and focus on making the most of their day. S1 is available in two glamorous color variants, namely Diamond Black and Skyline Blue for 325 USD. In addition to the S1, the Y15, Y11 and Y91c are available in Lebanon.
