The vivo S50 was unveiled in December alongside the S50 Pro mini, and today, vivo has officially announced the S50t. If you're curious about what sets this model apart from the original S50, prepare for a surprise—it all comes down to one detail, which you might not guess.
If your answer is "the UFS storage version," then you are correct. The S50 features UFS 4.1 storage, while the S50t opts for the older and more affordable UFS 3.1. That's the only distinction; every other aspect of the two devices is identical.
Like its predecessor, the S50t boasts a 6.59-inch 1260x2750 AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC. It also offers configurations of 12GB or 16GB of RAM, with 512GB of storage. The camera setup includes a 50MP main camera with optical image stabilization (OIS), a 50MP periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom and OIS, an 8MP ultrawide lens, and a 50MP front-facing camera. Additionally, it is equipped with a 6,500 mAh battery that supports 90W wired charging.
The S50t is priced at CNY 3,199 ($468) for the 12GB RAM and 512GB storage model, while the version with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage retails for CNY 3,499 ($512). In both instances, the S50t is CNY 100 ($14) cheaper than the original S50.
