Vivo V27 series expected to see launch in India in February, could be similar to Vivo S16 series: report

Vivo is expected to launch its V27 series in India soon. The series is expected to feature a base model, Vivo V27e, and the Vivo V27 Pro variant. The Vivo V27 series is expected to succeed the Vivo V25 line which was launched in India in September 2022. There have already been reports and leaks surrounding the upcoming series. A new leak has now rocked the India launch schedule of the Vivo V27, Vivo V27 Pro and Vivo V27e smartphones. It’s also suggested that the new lineup could be very similar to Vivo’s S16 lineup.

According to a Tweeter per tipster Debayan Roy (@Gadgetsdata), the Vivo V27 series is expected to launch in India around mid to late February. The tweet adds that the Vivo V27 series could be similar to the Vivo S16 series launched in China in December 2022, but with some changes.

The Vivo V27 series, which is expected to succeed Vivo’s V25 lineup, will likely include the standard Vivo V27, a Vivo V27 Pro, and a Vivo V27e variant. The Basic and Pro variants were previously slated to launch in February. The Vivo V27e might be released at a later date, but all models were expected to come with the latest MediaTek Dimensity chipsets.

Vivo’s S16 series was launched in China in December 2022 with three models: Vivo S16, Vivo S16 Pro and Vivo S16e. The next V27 series, according to the recent leak, will likely be similar to this range, but with a few changes.

The dual nano-SIM supported Vivo S16 runs Android 13 with OriginOS 3 on top and features a 6.78-inch Full HD+ (1080 x 2400 pixels) AMOLED display with an aspect ratio of 20:9 and a refresh rate up to 120 Hz. The display is also capable of delivering a touch sampling rate of 360Hz. The phone is powered by a 7nm Snapdragon 870 SoC, Adreno 650 GPU and up to 12GB LPDDR5 RAM.

The Vivo S16 Pro has the same SIM, software, and display specs as the vanilla Vivo S16. However, the MediaTek Dimensity 8200 octa-core 4nm chipset and Mali G610 GPU power the Vivo S16 Pro model and it has up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM.

Additionally, the Vivo S16e model features the same SIM and software specs as Vivo S16 and Vivo S16 Pro, and sports a 6.62-inch Full HD+ (1080 x 2400 pixels) AMOLED display with an aspect ratio of 20:9 and up to 120 Hz refresh rate. The Vivo S16e sports an Exynos 1080 octa-core 5nm chipset paired with a G78 GPU and up to 12GB of LPDDR4X RAM.
