Moreover, the listing has also mentioned that the phone will be available in three different RAM and storage models. It will start with 12 GB + 256 GB of RAM and will go up to 16 GB + 512 GB. Vivo earlier confirmed that it is using LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage for the S50.
Aside from that, Vivo S50 will ship with OriginOS 6 update based on Android 16 and will also sport an IP68 + IP69 dust and water resistance rating.
