Vivo S18 colours teased ahead of December 14th launch

Vivo S18 series design (teased)

• Vivo S18 appears in a light blue colour and a dark gray colour in the new images posted on Weibo. The rumoured colours include Huaxia Red, Black, Purple, and Sea Green.

• There is some sort of flower pattern on the back that Vivo claims to be “interpreting oriental aesthetics”.
• Besides the oriental charm, the images also tease a squircle ring light right below the rear camera island. This could help in shooting and videos under low light situations.
• The phone looks very slim in the photos.
