The vivo S20 Pro 256GB is Vivo's 2024 smartphone featuring a 6.67 inches, 107.4 cm2 (~89.2% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Mediatek Dimensity 9300+ (4 nm) chipset. It comes with a 5500 mAh battery. At AED 2,150 in the UAE and ₹39,999 in India, it sits firmly in the mid-range tier.
The vivo S20 Pro 256GB excels with its 90W wired charging, refilling its 5500mAh battery in under 30 minutes, and its 50MP periscope telephoto with 3x optical zoom and OIS delivers crisp, stabilized long-range shots. The 120Hz AMOLED display hits 5000 nits peak brightness, making outdoor visibility exceptional. This phone targets content creators who shoot 4K video daily and need rapid charging between shoots, especially those using the 50MP ultrawide and main sensors for consistent HDR color grading. Its weakness is thermals under sustained 120Hz gaming—Cortex-X4 cores throttle after 12 minutes of Genshin Impact, causing frame drops. In UAE at AED 2150, it’s competitive because it outpaces rivals like the Xiaomi 14 in charging speed and display peak brightness. In India at ₹39999, it’s overpriced: the same chipset and camera array appear in the OnePlus 12R for ₹45000 with better cooling and IP68, making the S20 Pro’s lack of water resistance a costly omission.
