vivo told customers in India that its revived S series had landed with the S2, which opened the market on August 6 2026 and sold for Rs. 39,999.[1]

Design and Display

The handset is built around a 6.83‑inch curved AMOLED panel. Its chassis borrows styling elements from the X300 FE, giving the device a premium yet streamlined look that fits well into the rising tier of mid‑range design.[1]

Powertrain, Battery and Imaging

Performance comes from a MediaTek Dimensity 7360‑Turbo SoC, while a 50‑megapixel OIS primary camera delivers the visual fidelity callers expect from a flagship‑budget phone. A substantial 7,050‑mAh battery further promises extended use between charges.[1]

Release Timing and Financing

The launch came roughly a month before Janmashtami, which falls on September 4, 2026, allowing consumers to upgrade in time for the holiday. Vivo has paired the S2 with Bajaj Finance Easy EMI plans that start at Rs. 830 per month, easing entry into the latest model for a wider buyer base.[1][2]

Position in Vivo’s Portfolio

The S2 stands between Vivo’s flagship X300 Ultra—offering a dual 200‑MP dual‑camera setup and 100‑W charging—and its battery‑centric T series, which includes the T5 Pro with a 9,020‑mAh capacity and the entry‑level T5 Lite with a 6,500‑mAh pack. This spectrum gives the company a full complement of phones that can cater to budget‑conscious shoppers, photo enthusiasts and power users alike.[1]
