Premium Design
Leaked promotional material indicates that the Vivo S2 will feature a slim profile with a modern flat-frame design and a redesigned rear camera module. The smartphone is expected to be available in three colour options, although Vivo has not officially revealed their names.

Expected Price in India
Pricing remains unofficial, but most recent leaks place the Vivo S2 in the ₹40,000–₹50,000 range, positioning it in the premium mid-range category. Earlier listings suggested a lower price, though newer reports indicate Vivo may target buyers seeking a more premium smartphone experience.
