Tech Desk: India welcomes a new endurance champion as Vivo officially launches the Vivo S2 FE, packing an unprecedented 10,000mAh battery – the largest ever seen in a Vivo smartphone in the country. Priced starting at Rs 38,999, this device is set to redefine battery life expectations, promising at least two days of medium use on a single charge, a critical feature for users on the go.

Beyond its colossal power source, the Vivo S2 FE boasts an impressive IP69 rating for superior water and dust resistance, making it exceptionally durable. Under the hood, it’s powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300e chipset, paired with up to 8GB RAM, ensuring efficient performance for daily tasks and multitasking. The device features a vibrant 6.83-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 2,000 nits peak brightness, offering a premium visual experience.

Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the 50MP Sony main sensor on the rear, complemented by a 32MP high-resolution selfie camera. Fast 44W charging is also included in the box to quickly top up the massive battery. Running on OriginOS 6 based on Android 16, the S2 FE introduces smart features like Origin Island for real-time app information.

The Vivo S2 FE enters a competitive segment, directly challenging the Redmi Note 17 Pro and OnePlus Nord CE 6, both of which offer smaller batteries. While its Dimensity 7300e processor might not be the segment’s absolute top-tier, its unparalleled battery life, combined with robust build quality and a competitive price point, positions it as a compelling choice for users prioritizing longevity and durability in their next smartphone.
