vivo teases V27 design, says phones are coming soon

Vivo has confirmed the existence of the V27 series, although it has kept the launch timing vague. The phones will soon be available in India and will be sold through Flipkart, which already has a landing page (which can also be seen on vivo.com).

The announcement is accompanied by some images showing the upcoming phones. Last time only the V25 Pro had a curved screen, the vanilla V25 and V25e had flat screens. This year we think the V27 and V27 Pro will be curved.

Both the V27 Pro and the V27e recently appeared on the Google Play Console, which revealed that both have screens with a resolution of 1080 2400 pixels (size unknown). The Pro model will use a Dimensity 8200, the e-phone will receive a Helio G99. The vanilla model, vivo V27, also leaked, it appeared on Geekbench with an unknown MediaTek chipset (the Mali-G610 MC4 GPU suggests something between the Dimensity 1050 and 8000, which have 3 and 6 GPU cores respectively).

The triple camera with a ring LED light is quite different from the V25 setup. It looks exactly like another vivo series, more on that in a bit. First, watch this short teaser clip released by vivo India:

The image confirms our suspicions that the vivo V27 series will be tied to the S16 phones launched in China in late 2022. The S16 16 also features the Dimensity 8200, but the other models use different chipsets (all 5G). Here are some photos of the vivo S16 and S16 Pro (yes, both have curved screens):

As for when the V27 might become official, vivo has scheduled the Y100 to launch on February 16 (Thursday), but we doubt that’s a shared event. An earlier leak only indicated that the launch would take place sometime this month (well, the V27 and V27 Pro will launch in February, the V27e will allegedly arrive later).
