So this is it, Vivo Malaysia has officially announced the Vivo S1 and the pre-order has started today until 26 July 2019. Priced at an affordable RM1099, the new S-series smartphone will launch in Malaysia on 24 July and will go on sale after the pre-order period.

The vivo S1 is now officially out in Indonesia but it is definitely not the same variant as the S1 released in China. The smartphone comes with a few differences from its brethren in China, swapping the pop up selfie camera for a waterdrop notch, the Helio P70 chipset for the Helio P65 and the rear mounted fingerprint reader for an in-display fingerprint scanner.

In this edition of TechNave Now, we’ll be talking about the ROG Phone 2 and the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ it will come equipped with. Not only that, that the VIVO S1 is expected to be priced at RM1X99. 

So here's another one that jumped on the gun, our local distributor, DirectD, has leaked the price tag for the upcoming Vivo S1 just a few minutes ago (well, sort of). According to their Facebook post, the Vivo S1 will be priced at RM1X99 and although there's no release date yet, we speculate it could be sooner than later since it has passed SIRIM. 

Today, we just got some news that the Vivo S1 smartphone, the one that Vivo Malaysia has been hyping about for a few days in a row, just got certified from SIRIM and with this, it's very likely the smartphone will be released within this month soon. And on top of that, we also got some juicy news on the tech specs.

Vivo Malaysia has recently teased that the Vivo S1 series will be coming in Malaysia, equipped with a 32MP front-facing selfie camera which is embedded under the dewdrop notch. Not only that, but it will also come with a triple rear camera setup as well. That being said, it is best to note that the Vivo S1 series that is coming to Malaysia is completely different in terms of design and tech specs as compared to the Vivo S1 that was released in China, most likely due to a clash in the naming scheme.

Today, Vivo Malaysia has just released a new teaser on its Facebook page. The new cover image reads "Something 1s coming soon" and quite obviously, the company will be introducing a new S smartphone series to Malaysia which referenced to the S1 series that was introduced in China.
