Vivo S1 has made its international debut. Almost four months after introducing the smartphone in its home market, Vivo is now ready to bring it other markets. There are, however, a few differences between the China variant and the global variant, and the most notable ones include different battery, processor, display size, and camera. The Vivo S1 global variant is now up for pre-order in Indonesia, and it includes a MediaTek Helio P65 SoC, a 16-megapixel primary sensor on a triple rear camera setup, and a 4,5000mAh battery. The China variant has a pop-up selfie shooter, while the global variant sports a waterdrop-style notch.

Alongside the Vivo S1, the Vivo S1 Pro has also launched in China a few months ago. This variant should also make its way to the global markets alongside the non-Pro version.
