A battery bigger than most power banks: Vivo S2 FE
Vivo has expanded its S-series lineup with the S2 FE, a phone built around a record 10,000mAh battery. It is the largest battery the company has placed in a smartphone so far.
The phone supports 44W wired fast charging, and it can also share power with other devices through reverse charging. That makes the S2 FE double as a backup power source for earbuds, wearables or another phone when mains power is unavailable.
Display and performance
The S2 FE carries a 6.83-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, aimed at smooth scrolling and video. An in-display fingerprint scanner sits beneath the screen for biometric sign-in.
Under the hood is the MediaTek Dimensity 7300e chipset. Buyers can choose between 6GB and 8GB of RAM, while storage is fixed at 128GB on both variants.
Built to take rough handling
Durability is the second headline feature. The phone carries an IP69 rating, the highest level of protection against dust and high-pressure water jets. It also holds MIL-STD-810H military-grade certification for resistance to shocks, vibration and harsh conditions.
This combination targets users who work outdoors or in demanding environments, where a phone failure is more than an inconvenience.
Cameras and software
On the back, a 50MP Sony IMX852 sensor leads the camera setup, paired with a 2MP secondary lens. Selfies and video calls are handled by a 32MP front camera.
The S2 FE runs Android 16 with Vivo’s OriginOS 6 on top, bringing the latest platform features out of the box.
Price, colours and availability
Vivo has priced the 6GB/128GB model at around $403, while the 8GB/128GB variant costs roughly $444. Three colours are on offer: Stellar Green, Titan Black and Zen White.
The phone goes on sale on October 20. There is no word yet on a Pakistan launch or local pricing, but Vivo typically brings popular S-series models to the country.
