 "Vivo S1 India launch today: Watch livestream, know specifications, features")
Chinese electronics manufacturer BKK Electronics’ smartphone brand Vivo is set to launch in India the Vivo S1 on August 7 at 5 PM. The phone was launched in the company’s home country of China earlier in March. This was followed by an international launch in July. It is the international variant of the phone that is expected to be launched in India. Compared to the China-specific model, the international variant has a different screen, processor, optics, and battery.
